You must be thinking, socks? Come on. But these aren’t your average socks. These are Darn Tough Socks made in the state of Vermont. If anyone knows socks, it's Vermonters.
These unique socks "thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change.", says the manufacturer.
Each pair is hand made in Vermont and comes with a lifetime performance guarantee. Get the gift that keeps on giving.

The only time you’ll want lead in your stocking. This Pro Tuff Carbon Pencil Ox Pencil is a builder’s best friend.
Constructed from high quality materials including stainless steel, ensuring a long life that can withstand all jobsite conditions.
This jobsite pencil marks a variety of applications like wet pressure treated lumber, flashing, and deck boards.
The built in sharpener makes sure you have a clear line every time.
#8 Gloves from Youngstown Glove Company
It’s cold outside and loading framing or doing demo is rough without the right gloves.
These waterproof construction gloves from Youngstown Glove Company are the best in class for builders working in the cold.
These hardworking waterproof gloves feature a reinforced saddle, terry cloth brow wipe for sweat or snot, non slip pads, and 40 gauge 3M insulation.
#7 Bloody Knuckles Hand Balm by Duluth Trading Co.
Take care of yourself. Protect the hands that hold up your business.
Duck Cannon’s purpose is simple: to make superior-quality grooming goods right here in the U.S.A. that meet the high standards of hard-working men.
Their Bloody Knuckles Hand Balm is made with lanolin which moisturizers without the oily, greasy feeling versus competitive products.
A portion of Duke Cannon’s proceeds are donated to U.S. Veterans.
A container of the hand balm runs about $15.00.
#6 The Bionic Grip
The Bionic Grip™ covers Imperial and Metric sizes and replaces over 14 various tools in your toolbox.
The design distributes force around the work surface and automatically holds multiple sized nuts and bolts.
The open-ended head of the Bionic Grip™ allows the wrench to go over work that is difficult or impossible to access with a closed-head wrench, such as lag or carriage bolts.
The 6 inch Bionic Grip™ replaces 14 metric and SAE wrench sizes, spanning 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch and 7 mm to 14 mm and instantly grips pipes, fasteners and fittings from 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch.
To be fair, we haven’t tried it and cannot speak to how effective the Bionic Wrench is. However, if it can replace that amount of wrenches, we’re interested!

#4 Estwing Ultra Series Hammer
Finding a quality hammer under $50 was not easy. The Estwing Ultra Hammer hits a sweet spot of price and performance.
