Top Ten Gift Ideas For Dad

When it comes to Christmas gifts, dads are notoriously hard to buy for. Many times they have everything they need and want nothing. Here are some simple rules to follow when buying for dad with ten gift ideas that may make the decision of what to buy easier. The rules when buying for dads are: 1)It's about quality not quantity-Most dads prefer a single high quality gift rather than several low quality gifts. 2)Fad tools are generally a bad idea-If you see it on an infomercial then your best bet is to pass it up. Not all products that start out on infomercials are bad, but as a general rule a product that needs that type of promotion lacks inherrent value. 3)When buying tools, buy only tools that are suited to a wide array of tasks. For example, a set of screwdrivers or a flashlight can be used on multiple projects, but a plumb bob is rarely used even by specialized craftsmen. 4)Avoid tools used for tasks that dads do as part of their everyday responsibilities. In other words, a weedeater would be a bad gift for most dads. Our Top Ten Gift Ideas for dad are: 1)Cordless Drill 2)Dremel Multimax 3)Wet/Dry Vaccuum (Shopvac) 4)Laser Level 5)Ratcheting Wrenches 6)Drill/Driver Set 7)T-Handle Screwdrivers 8)LED Tripod Flashlight 9)LED Headlamp 10)Pocket Knife
