Craftsman Advent Calendar (Tool Set)

Twenty-Four Doors With Real Tools Behind Them

Craftsman's first Advent calendar swaps tiny chocolates for equipment that can stay useful after the holidays. The limited-edition box contains more than a dozen full tools covered by the brand's lifetime warranty, plus a few playful workshop extras. At $65, the package is presented as roughly $200 in total value.

A Ratchet, Drivers, and a Case to Hold Them

The practical haul includes an 8-inch ratchet, two socket sets, two stubby screwdrivers, and a magnetic bit driver with 11 bits. There is also a magnetic pickup tool strong enough to lift small metal gear when a screw or socket disappears into an awkward corner. The hard case revealed behind the first door is sized to organize most of the calendar's contents as the month continues.

Stocking Stuffers for the Workbench

Not every compartment is meant to replace something in a toolbox. A deck of cards, keychain tape measure, and retro acetate bottle opener lean into the fun of opening one door per day, while a voucher for a free V20 2Ah battery adds another useful item under its purchase terms. Preorders begin October 1. This will not stand in for a complete compact tool kit, but it is far more practical than the usual novelty countdown.
