What Does Dad Wish For?


If your Dad loves the idea of a new tool on Father's Day, these are topping the list this season...




1. Table Saw


What can Dad do with a table saw?  How about installing new floors?  Inspire him to get rid of that old carpeting and refresh the space.  Even the least handy men will find this project fairly easy with the help of a new table saw.

DEWALT 15-Amp 10 in. Compact Job Site Table Saw























This lightweight, durable DEWALT 10 in. 15 Amp Compact Job Site Table Saw delivers powerful rip-cutting performance. With a motor reaching up to 3,850 RPM, this saw can rip though hardwood, pressure-treated lumber and tough job-site materials. The saw features a lightweight design for easy transportation on and off the job and an all-metal roll cage for protection during heavy-duty use.

Home Depot $269.00








2. Paint Sprayer
































































Does the outside of the house need a bit of a face lift?  How about a paint sprayer to breathe new life into it? With certain paint sprayers being able to handle latex, lacquer, stain and primer, it makes for an easy update.

Black & Decker Powered Paint Sprayer, 5.8 GPH

Black & Decker Powered Paint Sprayer, 5.8 GPH




The Black & Decker Power Paint Sprayer (5.8 GPH) paints up to four times faster than a brush and roller when painting a six-foot by 40-foot fence. The Easy Fill Canister allows for fast and clean refills and the High performance motor for spraying heavier latex paints. Color-coded nozzles help to distinguish between spray patterns while the quick release allows for easy access to cleaning. This Black & Decker Power Paint Sprayer includes a pour/thinning assist bucket, great for transferring paint to the side fill canister cleanly.

Walmart $69.99



3. Hedge Trimmer


How about adding some curb appeal with a new hedge trimmer?  With options for battery, corded or gas, the hedge trimmer is a must needed tool for keeping those hedges in line.

Sorry, Dad.  It looks more like a "to-do" list rather than a Father's Day wish list.  However, nothing makes Dad more proud than to know that the result of his beautiful home was through his own hard work.  And that's why we appreciate all they do.

Happy Father's Day.
