Whether you are browsing for the best tools on Amazon, heading out to the store to get a hands-on feel for the tools, or simply checking reviews to find the right choice for the DIYer on your list, it’s important to pay attention to which brand they tend to have in their workshop, since many power tools feature interchangeable batteries within the same brand. This makes it easy to use the same battery for a cordless cut-off tool as you would for a cordless LED worklight provided that they are both from the same brand line up of tools. Check out this list to find top-quality gifts for the Craftsman fan in your life.

The Craftsman portable power station is a great choice for the jobsite, campsite, in the RV, or when you are working outside at home. The power inverter has a USB-A, USB-C, and a standard AC outlet, as well as a built-in work light to help you complete evening work, light up the back of the RV, or illuminate dark, enclosed spaces on the jobsite.

What our tester says: “Craftsman blends affordability with portability and sprinkles a bit of capability on top with its 150-watt power inverter. This budget-minded model snaps onto any 20-volt battery from Craftsman, turning it into a small portable power station that you can take anywhere or store in a toolbox.” —Paul Rankin, Product Reviews tester and writer

Get a new DIYer started with their own set of screwdrivers from Craftsman. This set includes both Phillips and slotted screwdrivers, each with three tip sizes and varying shaft lengths so your beginner DIYer or experienced home handyman can tackle a variety of projects around the home while relying on the durable black-oxide tips for toughness and a secure fit.

What our tester says: “This was one of only two kits we tested that included stubby 1.5-inch screwdrivers, which are essential for tight spaces. Plus, the ergonomic handles remained comfortable throughout our tests, which isn’t something we can say about every set we tried.” —Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer 

Having a reliable and accurate level in your workshop will help to save a lot of time and effort when you need to check whether a surface is level during construction projects. This Craftsman level has a sturdy, rustproof aluminum construction and features easy-to-read vials and built-in grips. Additionally, the plastic end caps help to protect the level if it ever drops onto the ground, so you don’t have to be overly concerned about little mistakes like this while you work.

What our tester says: “In our tests, the Craftsman level resisted flexing under moderate pressure. It was easy to maneuver in gloved hands (although the plastic grip liners seemed a bit flimsy), and easy to read from different angles. The bridged center vial window offered the best of both worlds: an easy top view as well as a full-length straight edge. As one might expect from this brand, it’s good quality for a value price.” —Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer 

The design of this framing nailer is both lightweight and well-balanced, allowing DIYers to use it for an extended period without becoming fatigued by the weight alone. It features a tool-free depth adjustment setting for on-the-go changes, as well as an integrated rafter hook. Since this framing nailer does not come with a battery or charger, it’s an ideal choice for Craftsman fans who already have more than enough batteries from other Craftsman power tool purchases.

What our tester says: “Craftsman’s V20 Brushless RP model makes a framing nailer more accessible to DIYers without compromising on performance for pros. This 30-degree cordless nailer consistently drives nails up to 3¼ inches in length without jamming, even in bump-fire mode.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer 

Easily switch between speed and torque settings while you work to get the ideal output from this affordable cordless drill/driver by Craftsman. The drill comes with a battery and a charger, making it an exceptional choice for those who are on a tight budget. With up to 1,500 RPM, this Craftsman drill/driver is great for quick tasks, like removing fasteners or drilling holes to mount new wall decor.

What our tester says: “Craftsman’s 18-volt cordless drill is speedy. Despite only having a brushed motor, it felt nearly as fast at drilling in smaller fasteners as some of the brushless drills it went up against. This is a great choice for those looking for an affordable cordless drill that can handle light- to medium-duty jobs.” —Tony Carrick, Product Reviews tester and writer 

This durable set of 7 nut drivers comes with the most common SAE sizes. Each nut driver handle has three specifically designed zones for you to grip depending on your intended purpose, including a speed zone, torque zone, and tactile zone. Additionally, the hollow shafts of these nut drivers allow you to work on overextended bolts, making it easier to both remove and tighten nuts and bolts.

What our tester says: “Since being bought by Stanley Black & Decker back in 2017, Craftsman has made a name for itself by offering good-quality tools at an affordable price. This nut driver set is a great example of that. Each piece has a large overmolded handle with rubberized grip, allowing you to get a firm handle on the driver to generate maximum torque.” —Tony Carrick, Product Reviews tester and writer 

Keep tools safe, secure, and well organized with this Craftsman tool box, which features an IP54 water- and dust-resistance rating. The cantilever design makes it easy to fully open and access the tools you need. Additionally, the tool box is made with strong, durable, and lightweight structural foam, so portability will never be a problem. 

What our tester says: “The Craftsman 18-inch tool box is an example of where we think tool boxes and tool box organizers overlap. Unlike some portable tool boxes that offer a tray but little else to help organize tools, the Craftsman has numerous dividers that can be removed and rearranged to meet individual requirements.” —Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer 

Take care of gutter cleaning in a hurry with this wet/dry vacuum gutter-cleaning kit which comes with two 18-inch extension wands, a hooked gutter nozzle, and a blower nozzle for when you need more blower power for wet leaves. Simply attach the pieces of the kit to the outlet of a wet/dry vac and use the force from the wet/dry vac exhaust to clean out your gutters. You can also attach it to the vacuum port to suck up leaves and debris, while keeping the mess to a minimum.

What our tester says: “This kit from Craftsman was one of my favorite surprises in testing. I hooked it up to a 5.5-horsepower wet/dry vac’s exhaust and found that it was incredibly effective at blowing leaves and debris out of the gutter, especially with the restrictive nozzle that comes in the kit.” —Tom Scalisi, Product Reviews tester and writer 

Move around the workshop without repeatedly getting up and sitting down using this Craftsman rolling stool. Ideal for garage projects, the rolling stool has a divided under-seat storage tray with three compartments as well as a cushy swivel seat that can be adjusted from 17 inches to 22 inches, making it a great choice for tabletop or lower freestanding jobs.

What our tester says: “We assembled the Craftsman shop stool in about 10 minutes. From a purely functional standpoint, we really liked the solid-bottom parts tray and single-post seat attachment. It was nice to have easy access to anything we put down there instead of having to reach around the framework to pull the part or tool we needed.” —Mark Wolfe, Product Reviews tester and writer 

The detachable table stand can fold down for compact storage, but just in case you are worried that the saw may come loose during use, Craftsman has ensured that the saw is firmly bolted to the stand. The blade size is 10 inches with a maximum rip capability of 12 inches and a powerful 15-amp motor that can generate up to 5,000 RPM for cutting various woodworking materials both at home and on the job site. 

What our tester says: “The Craftsman brand has long been recognized for reliable, good-value-for-the-money tools, and this 10-inch portable table saw is no exception. For a modest price, this Craftsman table saw offers the same depth of cut as many more expensive saws: 3⅛ inches at 90 degrees and 2¼ inches at 45 degrees.” —Mark Clement, Product Reviews tester and writer
