The clock is ticking. And while gifts are being purchased and given, and there’s a fresh plate of cookies in the break room every day, all you can think about is your shop. Well, here are a few suggestions for gifts you can give to your crew (or yourself) to make sure that by the end of the year, everything is up to snuff. **Stocking Stuffers** We all know how important safety equipment is to the everyday operation. And that at times a simple reminder to tell an employee to put their safety glasses back on is needed. But a stocking full of quality [gloves](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Safety/Gloves-and-Hand-Protection/), nice [safety glasses](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Safety/Eye-Protection-and-Accessories/), [hearing protection](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Safety/Hearing-Protection/), [respirator masks](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Safety/Respiratory-/), [safety vests](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Safety/Work-Wear/Safety-Vests) and a bevy of other items just for them can show them appreciation as well as concern for their personal safety. And let’s face it, you do care about both. [Lights](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Lighting) are also a great item to have for each of your employees. A trouble light on each of your employees at all times will give them the confidence – and light – they need to get the job done. You also might want to take the time to go back through your [first aid kits](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Safety/First-Aid/). Typically, bandages are the most used items. So, if you just need a refill, or a whole new kit, we have you covered so you can cover your crew. **Magnetic Socket Inserts** A new member of our product line, magnetic socket inserts make life easier. They turn any standard socket into a magnetic one and prevent fasteners from dropping into hard-to-reach places. These extremely cost-effective inserts replace magnetic sets and are removable, so you can use them in any set. And the best part? They are color-coded and available in [metric](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/844196) and [fractional](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/844195). **A Clean Truck is a Happy Truck** Do you have a fleet? Even if it’s only two or three trucks, it’s your calling card to the world if it has your name or logo. And a truck that is beaten within an inch of its life, caked with mud and simply looks bad sends the wrong signal. Depending on where you are, salt might be an issue this time of year, as well. Well, of course we have a solution for that. We can help you clean your vehicles inside and out. [Glisten](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/80656) is our brand-name wash and wax and requires as little as one ounce per gallon of water to get your vehicle clean. For those tougher jobs, we have [Bug, Tar and Asphalt Remover](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Fleet-and-Vehicle-Maintenance/Automotive-Chemicals/Automotive-CleaningAppearance/801239), too. We also have a full line of [glass cleaners](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Chemicals/Chemical-Cleaners-and-Solvents/Glass-and-General-Purpose-Cleaners/), so your windshield is easy to see through and safe. Speaking of which, if you want some guidance to see you safely through 2020, [![Find A Rep](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2451464/cd12b605-6b0a-41bd-b9fe-f177d20c8534.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2451464/cd12b605-6b0a-41bd-b9fe-f177d20c8534) [<< Previous Post](https://blog.kimballmidwest.com/cooking-with-kimball-midwest-a-christmas-story) [Next Post >>](https://blog.kimballmidwest.com/electrical-safety-starts-with-the-right-tools-and-equipment) Have a Question For Us?
