LOOKING FOR GIFT IDEAS? WE HAVE YOU COVERED!

HOLIDAY WISH LIST

We go through it every year. We're asked for ideas of what we want for gifts, we ask others what they want, and there's a collective, "I don't know" from everyone. It can be mind-numbingly frustrating.

In hopes of reducing at least some of the stress during the holiday season, we scoured countless websites and compiled a list of gift recommendations that are well suited to those who enjoy the sorts of content we provide here at AOGB. If nothing else, you'll probably get a few ideas of what to put on your own wish list.

TOOLS

A small hobby knife is a great addition to the workbench, allowing you to do some very detailed work. But far too many of the ones on the market now are cheaply made and don't last. The Ti Grip Precision Hobby Knife ($29.95, CountyComm.com) is made of titanium and is built to last. The textured grip keeps it secure in your fingers and it has a screw on/off cap to keep the blade protected.

How many times have you been working on a small project and needed a third hand to hold something? The DIY Hobby Hand Kit ($19.95, CountyComm.com) is a tabletop vise that is perfect for gluing, soldering, and similar tasks. It comes with five arm extensions, so you can put your project exactly where you need it while you work.

Hex bits are easy to carry in a small EDC kit so you have multiple options for screwdrivers and such. However, a lot of the available hex bit drivers are uncomfortable, awkward, or just don't work well. The Hex Bit Driver Tool from CRKT ($26.00, CRKT.com) is a cut above the rest. The ball-bearing spinner keeps it turning smoothly and a magnet in the tip keeps the bit secure.
