From stocking stuffers to gifts that you leave in the driveway with a big bow, home improvement tools are finding their way on people’s holiday lists with all kinds of budgets. DIY Network’s Chris Grundy, host of Cool Tools, is here to help narrow down the list of “must haves” with an overview of innovative and perennial favorites, all kicking off on Thanksgiving weekend, the official launch of the gift-buying season.

What do you think? Are you going to watch Cool Tools specials? Will you give tools to someone in this holidays? Let me know in the comments section.
I’m trying to find a nice LIST of all the tools listed on the Holiday show. Chris said it’s on the website – I have yet to find it. I can find individual items and a great big long list of all kinds of stuff, but I just want a simple list of the items from that show….please help.
I watched the 2010 Cool Tools holiday special and saw a tape measure that had a compass with it but I cannot remember who made it or where to purchase it. Could you please provide me with that information? I would like to purchase one for my son for Christmas.
Thank you, James Martin

I am trying to find the list of tools featured on the holiday blitz show and have yet to find on DIY’s site. I specifically would like to find the tool used to splice open plastic items. As well, I would like to find the lights and sound item. These are both truely cool tools but I can not find a list on DIY. Please help. Thanks
