Some may think that power tools and DIY equipment are less than inspiring Christmas gifts. To the get-someone-in-crew perhaps but to the budding handy person who relishes nothing more than getting stuck into a home project, these kinds of gifts open up a host of possibilities for the New Year and are infinitely more valued than socks and smellies.

Here is our pick of some of the best electrical home and DIY tools for gifting this Christmas.

Cordless Drill

No home is really complete without a cordless drill as it can be used for everything from putting a couple of shelves up to building a treehouse or installing some decking. Having your own drill and knowing the basics of using it can free people up from needing to get tradespeople in and provide them with a real sense of satisfaction to do things themselves.

For beginners, why not start with a complete set such as this MYLEK DIY 130 Piece DIY Home Kit and Cordless Drill which is just £44.99 for this huge selection of tools and bits. Alternatively, someone who is already a drill-lover may appreciate an upgrade with this MYLEK Compakt 21V Drill Kit with 19 torque settings and up to 1400 rpm.

Leaf Blower

If there is someone in your life who both appreciates a neat and tidy garden and loves a power tool, a leaf blower is right up their street. There are few things more rewarding than meandering around the garden, clearing up all the fallen leaves and debris and then converting them to a fine mulch. Plus, it leaves the garden clean and tidy and removes slip hazards when the weather is wet and/or icy.

This Mylek Electric 3000W Leaf Blower/Vacuum and Shredder is an all-in-one leaf blower, vacuum, rake, and mulcher so it’s great fun and priced at just £47.99.

Metal Detector

This one is not so much a power tool as a power toy! Metal detecting is a great hobby for anyone who loves a gadget and enjoys getting out into the fresh air and exploring the great outdoors. This MYLEK Metal Detector Kit for Beginners and Children is a great starter kit for anyone taking up the hobby and includes everything you need including headphones and a trowel. Someone who appreciates a more advanced bit of kit, or who wants to upgrade from a beginner model may prefer the MYLEK XP PRO Metal Detector at £64.99.

Paint Sprayer

Anyone with any designs on giving the garden a glow-up come spring will enjoy a paint sprayer that could allow them to transform outdoor furniture, fencing, or sheds in no time at all. A paint sprayer can give a whole new lease of life to these items in a fraction of the time it would take to paint them by hand, and with a better finish. Consider as well; paint spraying can get pretty addictive so once they have finished their own projects, your recipient may well make a start on your garden so it’s a win-win!

This MYLEK 400W Electric Paint Sprayer Gun Kit is priced at £37.99.
