Father’s Day Gift Giving Guide for the DIY Dad

Still looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift for your DIY Dad? Let’s agree that neckties are not it this weekend, ok? If the dads in your life are looking to up their DIY game and get some projects done I’ve got the perfect list of gifts for them. Don’t worry, the items I’m sharing are all under $200 so there’s something for every budget that’ll make Dad’s day. 

This post contains affiliate links, which helps support more projects on my website! For my full disclosure policy regarding affiliate links, click here!

Want to see some projects with my dad and me in action? Make sure to subscribe to my channel)!

Gifts under $50

1. Ryobi Lithium Screwdriver Kit

It’s super handy to have a small screwdriver like this and it’s got a battery that’s rechargeable via USB-C. Great to take on the go and for smaller projects so Dad can always be prepared.

2. Firm Grip General Purpose Gloves

These Firm Grip gloves can really come in handy. See what I did there? Gotta make a few Dad Jokes for Father’s Day right?? Anyway, there are so many uses for these gloves and they also come in a variety of sizes. They’re durable and also have touchscreen capability so Dad won’t have to take his gloves off before he takes your call.

3. Dewalt Stapler

This stapler takes a variety of staple sizes as well as 18 gauge brad nails up to ⅝ inch. Dad’s love a tool that can do more than one thing. 

4. Carhartt Midweight Tool Storage Bag

This tool bag is made of strong synthetic fabric, has a metal frame to hold its structure, and has plenty of pockets to keep everything organized so Dad will know exactly where he put his screwdriver.

5. Dewalt Medium and Large Clamp Set

You can never have enough clamps! This set of trigger clamps has 2 medium clamps and 2 large clamps and they all have removable jaw pads so the workpiece will stay protected. Dad will be so happy next time he needs a few extra to hold his project together.  

Gifts under $100

1. Milwaukee 7 Amp Corded Angle Grinder

This angle grinder is great for quick material removal and also has a multi-port exhaust to help prevent burn up. Just don’t let Dad forget his eye protection!

2. DeWalt Area Light

Good lighting is so important, this one has a hook and also has a pivoting head so you can get it to shine at exactly the right angle. 

3. DeWalt Bluetooth Speaker

Perfect for Dad to rock out on a worksite and the bluetooth connects up to 100 feet away. So he won’t have to worry about losing connection and crackling sound when he moves around.

4. Ryobi 13 Amp Corded Circular Saw

Circular saws are so versatile for cutting down lumber. This one comes with a 7 ¼ in blade, has a bevel feature and you can adjust the depth of your cut.

5. Ryobi 18V Cordless Drill + Driver Set

Dad will be thrilled to get this set, it comes with the drill, driver, batteries, charger, and a bag to keep it all organized!

Gifts under $200

1. DeWalt Cordless DrilL + Driver Impact Kit

If you’re looking to get Dad a slightly more powerful drill + driver set, this one will get the job done. The set also includes your batteries, a charger and a bag.

2. Milwaukee 18V Sander

Every DIY Dad needs a good sander. This orbital sander has a 5 inch pad and variable speeds so he can adjust to each part of his project. It also has a dust canister and filter to avoid a huge dusty mess.

3. Pocket-Hole Jig 720PRO

This joinery jig will allow Dad to make quick work of pocket holes with all of the accessories he might need with his 700 series tools.

4. Folding Portable Workbench

There are endless uses for an additional surface, especially one that is portable. Dad can set this up wherever he needs, it’s lightweight for easy transport but still sturdy enough to provide good stability, the metal legs can support up to 1,000 pounds!

5. Ryobi 18V Cordless Compound Miter Saw

You will certainly be the MVP of Father’s Day with this small but powerful miter saw. You’ll get up to 900 cuts on one charge, and there are so many uses for a portable miter saw; projects in the backyard, a room in the house that’s not close to the shop, the list goes on. Save Dad the extra trips to his workshop and help him bring his saw to his workspace.

It’s not too late!

So if you’re like me and counting on some fast shipping or an easy trip to the store for a quick win I hope you found something on this list that will show the dad’s in your life how much you appreciate them. You might even be inspired to get out there and make something together. Or not, maybe Dad just needs a some inspiration to finish that project he’s been working on for a while…Either way, happy DIYing friends, and a big Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! 

Save this for later

I hope you enjoyed this project! If so, make sure to Pin It for later!
