10 Cool Tools For DIY Dads This Holiday Season

I hear it again and again……Dads are hard to shop for. Which is funny – as that most of us dads would disagree. The fact is dads are actually very easy to please – we just ask for the best.

The seven months between Father's Day and the Christmas holidays are enough time to put a serious beating on dad's tools. It's a good thing his loved ones are caring enough to take this time to replace the most worn and destitute tools—or to buy him something he's always wanted.

Well – you’re in luck. Finding gifts for dads is now a breeze with the short listed list below. We’ve sorted through all of the gifts in our hand tools stock and present to you 10 Christmas gifts for dads that they are sure to smile about for months to come.

Enjoy!

Mintcraft 4-in-1 Double Box Ratcheting Wrench Set, Metric Black, 2-Piece: While not “all-in-one ratchet wrenches offer eight fastener sizes that cover most DIYers and homeowner needs, with the robust reversible ratcheting mechanisms, these wrenches will make light work of dad’s projects.

Stanley 84-024 10-inc:h Bi-Material Groove Joint Pliers Wrench: This tool is the Popeye of pliers and quick-adjust wrenches. It may be small but is capable of exerting a surprisingly high level of nut-gripping leverage. Use its marring parallel jaws on finished components, or show a stubborn fasteners who’s boss.

This tool replaces the need for sets of metric and imperial spanners and is also excellent for gripping, holding, pressing and bending work pieces.Your dad would love to use this for his next plumbing project.

These tools can be very comforting to dads who have arthritis in their hands

Mintcraft Multi Tool: This multi tool from Mintcraft is packed with useful gadgets that Dad can use for fixing things around the house, and it’s just nice to have in case something breaks. Rather than carry around a big toolbox, or have to store a bunch of tools, he can have many of the things he needs all in one place with this.

Portable Charcoal Grill Set: This grill set is made out of a durable metal so it’s going to hold up to wear and tear from regular use, and provide Dad with everything he needs to be master of the grill. If Dad loves to grill all the season long he will definitely get tons of use from this.

Stanley Level: A good level is a great gift.  Just make sure you give him a picture of yourself.  So when he opens the picture and the level, you can tell him you just want him to make sure your picture is level on the wall.

Proline Extension Chords: Instead of the usual, cumbersome extension cords he’s used to, get him this retracting extension cord reel. An impressive 30-foot cord easily pulls out and locks at whatever length his project requires, and it automatically retracts when he’s done. He’ll also love how easily it stores, unlike his typical extension cords.

Vampliers: Stripped and rusty screws are a major frustration for the handy man and DIY dad. However, they’re a common enough occurrence, so give Dad the tool he needs in order to handle stubborn screws like a pro.
