Peaceful. Joyful. Restful. These are words most people want to associate with the Christmas season, but the reality is  that “busy”, “stressful”, and “chaotic” are often a more accurate description. Between arranging family get togethers around Christmas programs and office parties on top of already packed schedules full of work and kids’ sporting events and club meetings, the idea of buying gifts for everyone can turn what should be a pleasant experience to one full of bitterness and resentment. It can be made even worse when you have no idea what to get them. Your kids have probably given you a nice long list of toys and gadgets they want, but your favorite lineman likely hasn’t said a word. If this is you, take a deep breath, and trust Tallman. To simplify things for you this year, we have a compiled a list of stocking stuffers perfect for the lineman in your life.

Buckingham BuckFold™ Skinning Knife

Every lineman needs a good skinning knife, and with its generously sized handle, the BuckFold™ is ideal for gloved hands, making it perfect for linemen and other professionals who require gloves during work.

Tallman Equipment Snapback Hat

Does your lineman have a disgustingly filthy old hat that you’ve been begging him to replace? Does he have a constant rotation of hats that he wears? Does he have a head? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, get him a Tallman Equipment Snapback Hat. These are top quality Richardson 112 trucker hats with a sweet PVC shield. Guaranteed to make your lineman look 110% more handsome.

Klein Tools Journeyman™ Lineman’s Pliers

If there’s one core tool that every lineman needs, it’s a pair of lineman pliers, and there’s a reason that they call them “Kleins.” Klein Tools specializes in making some of the world’s finest pliers.
