Can you believe it? Father’s Day is already just around the corner! While you may have a gift idea in mind for dad, one that we think will really have him smiling from ear to ear is a new tool or two for his tool box – especially if he’s a DIY kind of a guy. Here are some of the top tools we recommend:

1. A power drill. He could probably make holes in the wall by hand if he needed to, but having a power drill makes home improvement projects a whole lot easier!
2. A c-clamp. C-clamps are extremely handy to have when you have pieces of wood or metal that need to be glued or filed – they can help hold everything in place!
3. A paint sprayer. Painting will never be as easy as it is with a paint sprayer! That’s because paint sprayers work to apply a smooth, even coat of paint over a surface, unlike your typical paint brush that may leave you with streaks or bumps.
4. A pressure washer. Pressure washers are extremely valuable to have on hand, as they can help with a number of cleaning projects! From the exterior of your home to vehicles like a boat, pressure washers can get the job done in less time, and using less water!
5. A tool sharpener. There’s nothing more frustrating then picking up a tool that’s too dull to work correctly, but when you have a tool sharpener at your disposal, you can get things up and running in no time.
6. A tool organizer. If dad already has just about every tool under the sun, and if he has too many to fit comfortably in your standard tool box, think about a larger organizer that can fit nicely in your garage or basement.
7. Noise-canceling headphones. While this isn’t a tool that will be used to complete a project, it’s a necessity for dads who work with loud tools such as chain saws. It’s also helpful for dads who cut the lawn!

Our final suggestion? A generator! Though this item will certainly benefit the whole family, we think dad would love to have a portable generator on hand in case the power should go out in your home.
