In just a couple of weeks, the tree will be filled with gifts to unwrap and the house will be filled with new toys of all kind. One of the most commonly forgotten items when it comes to holiday gifts is the tools needed to assemble these new gifts. A child?s holiday excitement can quickly turn to disappointment and frustration once they learn they have to wait to actually use their new holiday gift. Make sure you are prepared with the following tools.

Hammer and screwdriver

You will find that many of the items you gift require either a hammer or a screwdriver for assembly. This might even be true of gifts that you give to the adults in your household. A new portable oven sometimes requires assembly. Even photographs frames or artwork require a hammer to hang. While most households have a hammer and screwdriver somewhere, they are not exactly sure where it is located. Make sure you have your basic tools in an easy to find place for the holiday season.

A large supply of nails

While most households also have a supply of nails, people may not be able to find them or they may be running low. Many people use nails for hanging holiday decorations, so if you forget to replenish your supply, now is the time. Nails are used for many purposes, so it might be useful to stock up. Make sure you have plenty of sizes, as you never know what type of gifts or projects you will have to complete.

Plenty of screw choices

Screws are another common household item, but many households do not carry a large supply of different screws. Not every toy or project comes with screws, so you will want to have a good supply ready. Some screw manufacturers sell large boxed sets of custom screws. That way, you don?t have to purchase multiple boxes of varying sizes. Also, remember to purchase from a high quality screw manufacturer as you want to be sure that your custom screws are durable and strong.

It is also a good idea to have SEMS screws. SEMS screws combine two separate parts into one pre assembled, low cost fastener. With washers under the head, SEMS screws are fast, permanent, and easily adaptable to many applications, making them perfect for different types of gift projects. Many screw manufacturers carry SEMS screws, so you should not have a problem finding them.

Hi low screws

Hi low screws differ from other types of custom fasteners because they have a reduced minor diameter and they displace less plastic material and minimize stress. These screws have a double lead high and low thread with the high thread having a 30 degree thread form that further minimizes material displacement while providing positive thread engagement. More than 200 billion fastener options and custom shoulder bolts are used each year, just in the U.S. Don?t forget to pick up some hi low screws from your screw manufacturer.

You rush around all holiday season, attempting to find the best gifts, serve the best food, and just make it through the holiday season with minimal stress. One method to reducing your stress is to have plenty of tools, nails, and screws around. The best part of gifting new toys and appliances is letting the person play around with it. Without these basic supplies, they will have to wait until you collect the needed build supplies.
