What do you get a car guy for the holidays? If you’re shopping for someone who tends to have all the underwear, socks, and dad ties they’ll need for a lifetime, why not buy them something that won’t sit unused in a closet? We’ve got you looked after at JEGS with 10 of the best gifts for car guys.

Check out these tools and car accessories gifts that are bound to make that special guy grin ear-to-ear – and mean it.

Car Accessory Gift Ideas

Whether you’re looking to stuff a stocking with low-cost items or go all-out trying to become their favorite person, here are ten items from JEGS that will get the job done.

Rooftop Cargo Box

He never has enough space in the car when packing for a road trip. The solution? Toss the overflow gear on the roof in the 18 cu. Ft. JEGS Rooftop Cargo Carrier. It’s waterproof and made of HDPE hard-shell plastic, so even sensitive items like luggage and electronics are safe inside. Load up as much as 150 pounds, and don’t be afraid of stopping to stretch your legs with dual-integrated locks. And because it installs on the roof rails you already have, it’s a universal fit.

Portable Tool Box

He’s the guy you call when you’ve broken down at the side of the road. Why not make it easier to bring tools wherever he needs to go? The JEGS Portable 3 Drawer Tool Box does just that. It’s sturdy, made from 16-gauge black powder-coated steel with an integrated drawer lock and dual buckle latches on the top, yet it only weighs 17 pounds. Of course, that’s before he loads it up with wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, and tools for not-so-gentle persuasion. It even has ball-bearing sliders on the drawers.

200-Piece Tool Set

When you’re buying car gifts for him, it’s not complete without a toolset for the trunk. This JEGS 200-piece Tool Set with Carry Case is ideal for when he doesn’t want to wait for roadside assistance. Any emergency can be corrected with these 200 pieces, from sockets and screwdrivers to wrenches, pliers, and hex keys. Best of all, it’s all kept tidily together in a blow-molded carry case.

Heavy-Duty Shop Stool

Is he more focused on keeping the family’s fleet cared for than taking a post-meal walk? Or is he a naturally big guy who prefers to sit while he works on the car? His garage needs a stool, and the JEGS Heavy-Duty Shop Stool with Wheels is the one that won’t fold under him while he’s on it. With a capacity of up to 330 pounds, a welded powder-coated steel frame, and a padded seat with just a touch of pack support, this is a solution he’s going to love. And the base even doubles as a tool or parts tray!  

Professional Floor Jack

If he’s doing big jobs in the garage, he needs the capacity to lift big. The JEGS 3-Ton Low-Profile Professional Floor Jack pairs perfectly with any DIYer’s equipment. Changing wheels? Yep. Swapping a diff? You bet. This floor jack has simple access, from installing brakes to changing oil. Ball-bearing-equipped front wheels turn easily on hard surfaces, and the two-piece handle comes off for simple storage. And even if he’s lifting his pride and joy, he won’t mar the lift points because of its rubber lift pad.

Mechanic’s Tool Set

Two big drawers of well-equipped awesomeness. The JEGS 170-piece Mechanic’s Tool Box Set is a great starter kit for any car guy’s garage, or it’s fantastic for a second set of tools. The drawers and top-of-case area are well organized with foam liners that have cutouts, and the top is lockable with your padlocks. The tools included are high-quality, including plastic-and-rubber handles, two ratchets, a wide range of sockets, and a bunch of bits for all those less common jobs.

Tool Box Cart

“I wish my tools weren’t so close,” said no car guy ever. When he’s working on a project that requires a little extra storage, quick access to tools, or a place to work – aside from his cluttered workbench – he needs the JEGS 2-Drawer Heavy-Duty Tool Box Cart. Two locking drawers mean it’s great for home or work use, and the sliding top gives access to even more storage under the working surface. It can hold up to 220 pounds, so it doesn’t roll away from you; the two of its 4-inch casters lock. 

Fuel Fragrances

Don’t love the smell of exhaust? Not exactly fond of two-stroke fumes or the lingering odors of an idling engine as you get it perfectly tuned? You’re not alone. One of those stocking-stuffer gifts for car guys is the unique JEGS Fuel Fragrance scents that make it much more tolerable to be around. Just 4 ounces treats up to 55 gallons of fuel, depending on what you’re using, and scents range from Cherry, Blueberry, and Raspberry to Cannabis, Apple Pie, Baby Powder, and more. It’s also safe for all ICE engines, whether you’re running a carbureted or injected power plant.

Digital Tire Inflator

The typical routine is to add air, check the pressure with a gauge, add air, then check the pressure… and so on. Switching back and forth off the valve stem is annoying, but the JEGS Digital Tire Inflator is So. Darn. Easy. He can leave it attached to the valve stem, press the lever to add air, and then release it to check pressure. It saves time and aggravation, and the digital readout is head-and-shoulders above the little dial gauges that inevitably smash or get stuck.

Creeper & Air Seat Set

Whether doing bodywork around the car or sliding underneath to drain the tranny fluid, he can finally toss the cardboard away. The JEGS Creeper and Air Seat Set make life more comfortable around the garage, and it’s a gift he’ll use every time he’s in there. The 42-inch creeper has a 3-position memory foam-padded headrest and smooth-rolling casters, and it puts you just 1.75 inches off the ground, so you don’t need to lift the vehicle sky-high. The height-adjustable air seat needs only the pull of a lever to go up or down, and it also has a cushy memory foam pad.

If you’re searching for gifts for car guys you love and appreciate this holiday season, JEGS has what you need in spades. With our Price Match Guarantee and friendly customer service, why shop anywhere else?
