Father's Day Gift Guide 2014

Last Minute Father's Day Gift Guide

Gifts You Can Pick Up Today!

At Tool Skool, we don't endorse one big box store over another, but we realized we've been so busy this year, that we'd not put together a Father's Day Gift Guide.  So we took a stroll through our closest home improvement store, which happened to be The Home Depot,  and came up with a list of gifts you can walk right into the store and pickup today.  So, get going!  Get Dad a great gift!

Gifts Under $25

Does Dad like to get out and be active?  Or does he overheat when he works in the yard?  Then give him the gift of being cool.  Arctic Cove Cooling Towels or the Arctic Cove Bandana are both ways to stay cool.  All you do is run them under cool water for a minute and the special fabric keeps Dad cool much longer.  They can be used over and over.   37” towel ($9.97) or a bandana ($3.97).  For more info: CLICK HERE

Husky Tool Bags:  Husky has a lot of really great tool bags in all shapes and sizes.  There's bound to be one your Dad will like.  And if you are lucky enough to find this special buy you get two for the price of one!  For a limited time, Husky has packaged the 15 inch tool bag and the 12 inch tool bag together.  Both of the bags are water-resistant and have zippered tops.  Two great sizes make one great gift!   And this combo is priced  just right at $14.97.  For more info: CLICK HERE

Skil 4.3 Inch Speed Slide:   This is a great addition for any tool box.  The quick slide mechanism makes it easy to switch between 9 common SAE and Metric sized nuts and bolts.  Low profile and ergonomic design makes it easy to get into tight spaces.  Priced at $9.98.  For More Info: CLICK HERE

Ryobi ONE+ Hybrid Fan – I gave my father the battery operated version of this fan last year, and he loved it sitting outside on the patio or by the pool!  But this version is even better because it either runs off Ryobi 18-volt ONE+ battery or electric power with an extension cord.  And it's only $39.97 (battery and charger sold separately).  For more info: CLICK HERE
