Tool Accessories
The Google product category ID for Tool Accessories is 3650. It sits under Hardware and has 29 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 29 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Tool Accessories is third largest of the 15 categories under Hardware, with 65 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Tool AccessoriesAbrasive Blaster AccessoriesSandblasting Cabinets
The longest route down from here runs 2 more levels, ending at Sandblasting Cabinets (6940) on level 4: Tool Accessories › Abrasive Blaster Accessories › Sandblasting Cabinets. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (3650) or the full path ("Hardware > Tool Accessories"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 29 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 3650, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Tool Accessories
29 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
They are not the same size. Drill & Screwdriver Accessories (3944) is the largest with 6 categories beneath it, so most of what sits under Tool Accessories sits under that one name. 16 of the 29 carry subcategories of their own and the remaining 13 are leaves, which is worth knowing before you go looking for a narrower value that is not there.

Questions about Tool Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Tool Accessories?
3650. The full path, "Hardware > Tool Accessories", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Tool Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Tool Accessories has 29 directly below it, starting with Abrasive Blaster Accessories (6939), Axe Accessories (7326), Cutter Accessories (8117), and 65 in total further down. 3650 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Tool Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 2, under Hardware (632). The chain from the top is Hardware → Tool Accessories. If your product does not belong under Hardware, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Tool Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Hardware first — there are 14 other categories at this level: Building Consumables (503739), Building Materials (115), Fencing & Barriers (128), Fuel (543575), Fuel Containers & Tanks (502975), Hardware Accessories (2878), and 8 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Hardware (632) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Tool Accessories?
2 levels more. The longest route down from Tool Accessories is Tool Accessories > Abrasive Blaster Accessories > Sandblasting Cabinets, ending at Sandblasting Cabinets (6940) on level 4. Not every branch below Tool Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Tool Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is third largest of the 15 at its level, carrying 65 categories below it. Inside it, Drill & Screwdriver Accessories (3944) is the biggest branch with 6 beneath it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
