Contractors can be a tough crew to shop for. That’s why we’ve curated a list of some of the top items and gifts of the year that the construction workers in your life will actually use, both on and off the jobsite.
1. Ridge Driver Kit
Ditch the bulky wallet and jingling keys with this everyday carry duo from Ridge. The titanium wallet holds 1-12 cards without stretching out and blocks RFID to prevent theft. The key case streamlines and organizes your keys in a compact silhouette, securing your belongings with a novel, tension panel system. More than 50,000 5-star reviews can’t be wrong.
2. MOBOSI Military Grade Phone Case with Kickstand
It’s uncertain if this case could keep your phone intact if run over by a dozer, but the Mobosi Vanguard Defender phone case has military-grade shock protection, which means the device has undergone a system of tests that simulate a variety of environmental conditions, including shock, vibration, and more. A durable kickstand keeps your hands-free.
