Woodworks like to buy what they want and that makes picking gifts for them difficult. Even stocking stuffers for woodworkers can be a challenge to pick out.
But in this guide we’ll show you stocking stuffers that are so new they likely won’t own them. Or an everyday item that they will appreciate stocking up on.
And remember: most woodworkers appreciate not receiving whatever deal is at the end of the tool aisle in a big box store.

Putting aside its cool looks, this saw is a precision tool that will make fast work of flush cutting dowels, doing hand cut dovetails and more.

And, like most tools, there are full-blown gifts like the GRR-RIPPER table saw pushblock that offer advanced control while cutting wood.

By giving a stocking stuffer of wood screw driving bits you’ll replenish their supply and give them a stock of Torx-drive bits they might just need as well.
For a gift you'll be sure they don't have just pick their size and offer up a funny woodworking tshirt. It's probably true...

- Odds they own? Unlikely
- Best for? Weekend warriors
- Other uses? None
If you’ve seen along the way that casual woodworkers use a type of wood joinery called “pocket hole” you might be surprised to know that means assembling with screws.
And, when screws are used in anything other than softwood they do one thing: break.
So, a quality (but stocking stuffer sized) gift of a screw extractor is a great gift.
