Everyone can use more flashlights, especially LED flashlights.

The tiny battery in these lasts a long time.
If he seems to have everything, he probably needs more places to store all that stuff.
I think it's best if you can match the size and style he already owns, because too many mixed types can create more confusion and clutter.


Inexpensive plastic or metal toolboxes
I keep several empty toolboxes around so I can organize my tools and supplies when the whim strikes me.
Ebco folding sawhorses. Best given in pairs.
I added the piece of 2x4 myself. I have at least 6 pairs of these sawhorses, and I use them all the time.

A halogen work light makes a good gift, even if the guy already has one.
Best given in pairs.
Roller stands are very helpful for any handy person who owns a table saw, router table, or planer.
I have two pairs of roller stands, but I can see how a serious woodworker could use many pairs of roller stands.

Quick-Grip bar clamps come in many lengths and sizes. Very useful for home improvement and woodworking projects.
A serious handy person could find uses for a dozen of these.


Conventional bar clamps are a lower-priced (but slower) alternative to Quick-Grip clamps.
I have about 30 of these, ranging in length from 12 inches to 36 inches.
Woodworker's clamps are somewhat useful, even for non-woodworkers.
I own a couple of these. I use them a couple of times a year, maybe.


These ratcheting clamps are handy.
Like the wood clamps, I own a couple of these. I use them once in a while.
Plain Old C-Clamps:
I don't know of any clamp that can exert as much squeezing force as a C-clamp. These are very useful for home improvement, woodworking, auto repairs, metal-working, welding, etc.


Spring clamps are one the most useful clamps available. Spring clamps range in size from tiny one-inch long mini-clothes-pins to big 8-inch monsters.
Spring clamps make a great can't-go-wrong gift for the true handyman. For about 5 years in a row, my mother bought me bunches of spring clamps for Christmas gifts. It became an annual gag-gift that I loved. I probably have 100 spring clamps between my garage, basement, truck and tool trailer.
Maybe a set of clamps like this would be the ideal gift for the handy guy who has everything.
