Driller’s Dust Bowl
First up is the Driller’s Dust Bowl. This is a great gift if they do a lot of service or residential work. The Driller’s Dust Bowl is used with a hole saw to catch dust when drilling through drywall or whatever else. This dust bowl works with any hole saw, which is very convenient, and there’s an option to buy a dust bowl with a vacuum attachment, even more convenient. A good new tool for your electrician.
Dirt Bag Metal Shaving Catcher
Next up is the Dirt Bag. I can’t count how many times I’ve needed one of these for drilling into a nice clean breaker panel. Equipped with magnets, this small pouch sticks to the top or sides of electrical boxes and catches the metal shavings as you drill holes. This bag keeps the annoying shavings from ruining finished surfaces or energized components. Not only convenient but also safer. Any sparky would love this unique tool gift.

This one doesn’t use batteries and is better than those that do. Perfect for residential electricians who work with tile, wood, or drywall.
Van Magnets
If you have someone who likes to be clean and organized, look no further than the Rack-A-Tiers Van Magnets. These magnets come in three different weight ratings, and all come with carabiners. An easy choice for anyone looking to organize their work truck or van.
Sharp Pog Multi Tool Blade Sharpener
If they often work with finished cabinets, wood trim, or remodels, the Sharp Pog is a fantastic addition to their work truck. Many residential electricians use an oscillating tool for precision cutting in tight spaces or finished cabinets and walls. Special blades are needed for the oscillating tool and the Sharp Pog is a drill-driven blade sharpener. This is a unique Christmas gift that will greatly extend the life of your blades.

Electrician’s Combo Tool Belt & Bag
The most important part of any tool loadout is the method of carrying. A tool bag, backpack, pouches, hard side toolbox, open top bag, or a back pocket. If you know someone looking for a new setup, look at the Electrician’s Combo Tool Belt and Bag. They will appreciate the vented tool belt and the variety of pockets on the two pouches.

This kit has everything you need for installing receptacles and switches. It even comes with handy tapping bits which every electrician wishes they had on hand.

If you or your electrician buddies do a lot of commercial or industrial work, the Chip Catcher would be a great gift for them this Christmas. It’s a magnetic metal shavings catcher with an easy empty feature. Just clamp the catcher to the metal surface you’re drilling, and it will catch shavings with its rare earth magnets.
