If so, this is the perfect time to show him some appreciation.
But what gift would he genuinely use and love? Allow your friends at 2 Bro’s Plumbing to help you locate some great Father’s Day gifts for your handy dad!
Laser measure.
Tape measures are very helpful additions to any toolbox. However, laser measures are next level awesome! With a laser measure, you can calculate distances, areas and volumes of indoor spaces with ease. You can also check measurements and distances in a matter of seconds. Devices from Bosch or Leica offer precise measurements with the click of a button. They save time on projects like framing, installing cabinets or even hanging shelves.
Amazon carries a wide range of laser measures including their best-selling LEXIVON 2 in 1 Digital Laser Tape Measure. It combines a 130ft/40m laser distance measure with a 16ft/5m AutoLock tape measure.
Work gloves.
When it comes to protecting your hands during any plumbing or household repair work, you don’t want to skimp on quality. Don’t underestimate a great pair of work gloves. Brands like Mechanix and Carhartt offer gloves that protect without sacrificing flexibility or grip. They are perfect for any job around the house or garage.
Home Depot offers up numerous work glove options. They include the Milwaukee Tool Performance Work Gloves. “A reinforced thumb seam provides enhanced durability and the hook and loop closure ensures a secure fit,” describes their website, “In addition, a breathable lining and built-in terry cloth sweat wipe ensure the gloves remain comfortable enough to wear all day.”
LED work lights.
Lighting makes all the difference when working in basements, crawl spaces or garages. Rechargeable LED work lights, especially those with magnetic bases or hooks, offer flexible, bright illumination where it’s needed most. Canadian Tire provides a large selection of LED work lights. Among them is the Mastercraft 5W LED IPX7 Waterproof Work Light.
“Compact in size – this light packs a serious punch thanks to the built-in rechargeable lithium battery, giving you up to 8 hours of powerful runtime,” explains their site, “With IPX7 waterproofing, this rechargeable work light can withstand total immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of one metre. So whether you’re wrenching deep in an engine bay or working underwater, this light has you covered.”
Heavy-duty tool bag.
A new tool bag or storage solution will help your dad to keep things tidy and accessible. Look for models with reinforced stitching, water-resistant materials and ample pockets. Makita Canada sells a beautiful teal-coloured Heavy-Duty Tool Bag made of durable and lightweight materials.
“Weighing only 4.5lbs and 19″ in Length, it’s the perfect room on the go for your tools, accessories, and everyday items,” they inform, “The bag also features a spacious interior with a width of 15″ enabling you to hold 4 to 7 tools inside.”
