Build up your gift giving: Useful promo items get the job done

By Stephanie Lamie

Tools are essential for everyday tasks, from small repairs to larger household projects or hobbies. They can also be used at workstations or job sites. When you gift tools like screwdrivers, tape measures and flashlights, recipients will appreciate having useful promo items within reach. Our merchandiser Michelle provided recommendations built to make your custom gift last.

Promotional tools that put your brand to work

“Equipped with everything they’ll need, our new Swiss Force^® Meister Multi-Tool features a variety of tools, including pliers, a wire cutter, knife, bottle opener and other everyday tools that will come in handy,” Michelle said. It includes a pouch with a belt loop attachment for on-hand convenience.

Fasten a wide variety of screws with the Clear Quick Release Screwdriver, a space-saving tool that looks like one screwdriver, but its handle can be rotated to choose one of six included carbon steel bits. The rotational port locks and releases the bit they’re using.

Help them level up with the Magnetic 9" Level. “Three spirit levels offer extra assurance when accuracy is vital,” explained Michelle. “It’s perfect when hanging pictures and shelves or installing cabinets and more.”

Tape measures that measure up

Make your logo a part of their next DIY craft, home improvement or furniture assembly project. Michelle said, “The Mission 25' Tape Measure will help them confirm if there’s enough space for that sofa or entertainment centre.” Versatile for any trade, this useful promo item not only helps your workers measure dimensions, but also represents your brand around clients.

A tape measure with multiple functions will surely become a household or jobsite staple. Provide a practical promotional gift with an added bonus when you give the 16' Tape Measure with LED Flashlight. The built-in flashlight can brighten dark workspaces.

Make a notable impression when you promote your business with the Multifunction Tape Measure. “It’s not only designed with a 10-foot metal tape measure,” Michelle said, “but also features a built-in level, an integrated notepad and a pen.” It’s the perfect expo or trade show handout to keep your business front and centre.

Flashlights that spotlight your brand

“Multifunctional flashlights work overtime for your brand,” Michelle explained. New and unique, the Carabiner Clip Spiral Flashlight is a handy associate gift to mark milestones, show employee appreciation and more. The rechargeable flashlight features two flashlight modes and three lantern settings.

The Northfield Tool Set with Rechargeable LED Flashlight isn’t your ordinary promotional gift, according to Michelle. “This one will wow them when they realize that it’s not only a flashlight,” she said, “but it also comes apart to reveal a tool kit.” The kit includes a variety of useful tools—such as a tape measure, box cutter, screwdrivers and more—for around-the-house fixes, worksite installations and other projects.

A Rechargeable COB Headlamp is a game-changer when working in crawl spaces or poorly lit environments. It’s a practical gift that will keep their hands free to work. This headlamp features a hand motion sensor to turn the headlamp on or off.

Auto accessories that’ll drive your logo exposure

Accessorize any vehicle by putting your logo on this Stone Car Coaster Set. “Designed to fit in a car cupholder, each coaster can help eliminate sticky messes that feel impossible to clean,” Michelle said. The set comes with two naturally absorbent stone coasters, so the backseat driver or front-seat playlist passenger benefits too.

It’s important to keep emergency roadside tools in the car. With the Northline Emergency COB Flashlight, drivers will have a flashlight, seat belt cutter and window hammer. Reinforce the importance of preparedness with this practical promotional gift that gives them the resources to break out of a jam.

Multipurpose organizers, like the Tailgater Trunk Cooler Organizer, can be used in vehicles for various items, including groceries, sports gear or emergency supplies. “Its built-in cooler design features a removable liner, making it easy to clean out this tailgate must-have,” Michelle shared.

Fix them up with your promotional tools and accessories

With the necessary supplies, they can get any job done. Gift useful promo items like tape measures, tool kits or multifunctional accessories to give your team confidence in completing any at-home or on-the-job task.
