Our Favorite Tools and Supplies for your Auto Enthusiast
Sometimes a car guy or gal can be the hardest to shop for. They often have LOTS of tools and supplies for their classic car and you may be worried you’ll give them a duplicate gift from a big-box department store. We’ve put together Top 5 Gifts for Collector Car Enthusiasts for 2019. We assure you these won’t be your standard air freshener or steering wheel cover gifts that are the equivalent of socks and ties.
- Pocket-Sized Tool Kit- The Eastwood 29 Piece Ratcheting Driver and Bit Set gives you most of the common fastener bits that will allow your motorhead to do work on their own car even on the side of the road. This small kit comes with a small case that can be stashed in a glove box, spare tire well, or door pocket. For under $20 you can’t go wrong!
- Remove Dents at Home– Whether you have a modern daily driver or a classic collector car a dent in a door or other body panel can be a big headache.

- Auto Body Hammer Set- A good set of body hammers and dollies is a great asset for an automotive enthusiast. You’ll likely need a body hammer and dolly at some point and they aren’t something you can just run to the local Wal-Mart and pick up. Grab the Eastwood 7 Piece Hammer and Dolly Kit to get your motorhead invested in auto body repair for their next project.
- HVLP Paint Gun– If you’re into collector cars there’s likely gonna be a time when you want to paint or coat something and that means you’ll need a good paint gun to get the job done.
