For the DIY dad who’s always fixing, building or tinkering, this cordless drill from Dewalt — one of the best names in the game — delivers. This top-rated pick operates at two speeds and has 16 clutch settings, which means you can control the torque, or twisting power. The cordless power tool also comes with an ergonomic handle, a carrying case and two 20-volt batteries — all for less than $100.
Thousands of shoppers say this powerful gadget is their go-to drill, with one even saying it goes through "like a knife through butter."
Dad doesn't need topiary-level skills to maintain a well-manicured landscape, but tidying up hedges that have grown wild over the winter can give his home a high-impact makeover.
This Ryobi cordless hedge trimmer is less than $100, and like many of the brand's electric products, it's more powerful than a gas trimmer. Its sturdy steel blades and top-notch performance will have you feeling like a professional landscaper. The only caveat is you'll have to get a battery separately.
"I am a 77-year-old female and brought this baby home today. All I can say is it is magnificent. I love it. It is easy to use and does a fantastic job. It is sharp and goes through shrubs like butter," wrote a delighted shopper.
Traeger put wood pellet grills on the map, then quickly developed a cult following. Wood-fired cooking gives meats a smoky flavor that Traeger devotees love, and the system is pretty much set-it-and-forget-it, so you can't really mess up.
This favorite, now over 30% off, has many features that'll impress a grill-master Dad, like precise temperature control and porcelain-coated grill grates for easy cleaning. But it's also a multitasking powerhouse with the ability to grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and barbecue all in one.
Yahoo Home and Garden Writer Kristen Granero, who tested the grill, says: "This roomy model in particular boasts 884 square inches of prime cooking real estate — including two tiers of porcelain-coated steel grates — for housing 40 burgers, eight chickens or seven racks of ribs, plus an 18-pound pellet hopper capacity so you don’t need to worry about running out of fuel mid-progress."
It's impossible not to feel laid back in an Adirondack chair, a seating first designed more than 100 years ago for that exact purpose: relaxation. If you have a Dad in the house who loves to kick back, this low-profile option is an inviting perch.
Made of sturdy plastic that looks like real wood, it can support up to 350 pounds thanks to a wide back and seat. It's also treated to be completely weatherproof. Plus, it folds up! The perfect outdoor chair if I do say so myself — and 30% off in black.
Whether Dad has a big yard or a small deck, string lights are an easy way to add sparkle to his space. This 50-footer — 50% off for Father's Day — is made of shatterproof, weatherproof LEDs; each strand features old-school Edison-style bulbs with energy-saving technology inside.
String them on a fence, suspend them from a patio ceiling — they're totally customizable, and you can connect up to 20 strands to cover larger spaces in a warm, white ambience.
Ryobi lawn mowers are fan favorites across the board — including our editors! This cordless electric model is brushless, which means it's much quieter than a typical motor, plus smarter, cleaner and more durable. Dad will surely appreciate the efficiency.
It delivers a clean, even cut thanks to a dual-blade system, while its self-propelled rear-wheel drive means less effort on Dad's part. It runs up to 50 minutes on a single charge, then folds up neatly for vertical storage (read: no hogging the garage).
"Best lawnmower I’ve ever bought!" raved a happy homeowner. "It's lightweight and easy to assemble. And quiet. I love how you can control the speed. The batteries don’t take long to charge and they last doing my whole yard — front, back and sides."
Get a cookout-loving Dad in your life all fired up for homemade pizza as a departure from the typical barbecue fare.

And no worries about kids and pets wandering around the yard — this portable oven is wrapped in a safe-touch silicone jacket.
Need more reason to buy it? We recently named it the best pizza oven of 2025. It's both chef- and editor-approved! "The quick preheating and easy clean-up make it ideal for spontaneous pizza nights," said one of our reviewers.
We all know a Dad who's obsessed with having a lush lawn to the point that the hose is perpetually unraveled on the ground. That's why this reel is such a brilliant gift — it's a problem-solver!
The mobile cart by Suncast can be wheeled around the yard so you never need to fully unwind the hose — and it has a leader hose included to connect the reel to the water supply and prevent kinks.
One customer joked, "I was tired of coiling my hose on the ground — it was like wrestling an octopus. This hose reel took all of that away. It's easy to reel it out and roll it up."
Does Dad treat yard work like an Olympic sport? If yes, then this Milwaukee cordless blower — almost 30% off — is his dream gift. It blasts leaves and debris at speeds up to 120 miles per hour — crazy, right? — reaching full power in just one second, no warm-up needed.
Even better, it runs quieter than most blowers, so he won’t wake the neighbors. It's also lightweight and cordless, so it’s perfect for quick cleanups on the driveway, patio, or porch.
"I love my new blower. I use it for yard work mainly, but I also use it every time I wash my vehicles to blow off the water to reduce swirl marks. This thing packs a punch," one reviewer wrote.
If Dad is always complaining about gasoline stains in the driveway or a dull-looking deck, this Ryobi electric pressure washer will help him achieve the spotless surfaces he desperately craves.
Its powerful motor generates massive force to effortlessly tackle dirt, grime, and mildew, even from the facade of the house. It comes with a detergent tank and cleaning solution that works on most surfaces.
"Great investment as I’ve used this for my driveway, entryway, outdoor court and lanai. Having a pressure washer that can move around easily — even up and down stairs — is a big plus for me," wrote a pleased purchaser.
Robot vacuums are now a beloved household staple, so it makes sense that the phenomenon would carry over into swimming pool vacs. Designed for in-ground and above-ground pools up to 1,600 square feet, the brilliant gadget has four separate motors working together to perform different functions (think suction and climbing walls).
Let it run two and a half hours on a charge, and it's bound to get the whole job done while Dad sips an iced tea. The best part? It's currently on sale for nearly 45% off.
One swimmer wrote, "My biggest annoyance was forever having to clean out our pool. Day after day, so much debris would accumulate. With this handy contraption, there’s no need for manual pool skimming anymore! I can’t believe it can climb the walls, and once it gets to the water line, it cleans it as well!"
Cornhole is a classic that brings the memories flooding back, making this set a surefire Father's Day hit. It includes two sturdy wooden boards and eight bean bags filled with mold-resistant plastic beads.
It's bound to ramp up good-natured competition at family events, weekend cookouts and even tailgates. And when it's time to wrap things up, this set's foldable legs make storage a breeze.
You'll find something for every type of Dad at Home Depot's Father's Day sale. (Home Depot)
