Tool belt: No need to stand there and hand Dad tools once he has this apron. Carries enough stuff so he can get any job done without once grumbling about having to get off the ladder (Bucket Boss 83100 13 pkt SuperWaist Apron, $15, ).
Work shirt: He'll look good in a classic plaid shirt while he's fixing stuff (lodge shirt, Pendleton Woolen Mills, $88, sizes S-XXL; ).
Car tool: The CarMD can tell why the "check engine" light comes on. Plug this gizmo into the car and then a PC, and it diagnoses the problem and estimates the cost to fix it ($90; ).
Tape measure with level: It's essential when he's hanging stuff and you want it to be straight. The Accu-Mark laser-line tape measure ($25; ) will keep him on the level.
Dirty Jobs box set: He'll relax while host Mike Rowe works! Season One of the dirtiest show on television is available at Discovery Channel stores ($50).
