2018 Gift-Buying Guide From the Build Show

Matt Risinger and Jordan Smith of the Build Show share their top picks for this holiday season.

Each year, Tools of the Trade contributors Matt Risinger and Jordan Smith of the Build Show put together a thoughtful list of gift ideas. This year is no different, though the format varies slightly from previous years. They’ve added an entertaining element in the first 90 seconds as they announce that the segment has a sponsor this year. Their sponsor didn’t tell them what to choose in the lineup, so the picks are their own. There are some obvious choices like flashlights and marking tools, and there are some very unique options as well.
