Gift Ideas For A Gearhead Dad! (Father’s Day Special)

By on June 10, 2016

Father’s day is just around the corner, and we bet that just like us, you’re struggling to find that perfect gift for dad.  If your dad passed on his love of cars and tinkering to you then show your appreciation with these budget-friendly suggestions:

 

  1. OBDII Scan Tool

Newer cars are more complex than ever. Help Dad figure out what that check engine light really means with a slick code reader/scanner. Just plug this into the OBD port of any 1996 and later car to find out what’s really going on. Some tools allow for service resets, data logging and more.

2. Peak PBF11PM Wrench – Flare Nut

Instead of borrowing dad’s tools, why not give him some that he can really use? With their ratcheting ends, these wrenches get into tight places that a socket set can’t reach. Get him a set of metric and SAE while you are at it!

3. Rampage Wireless Back-Up Camera

You finally convinced dad to ditch the flip phone and join the smart phone club. Now he can hook up a trailer solo while watching his favorite mobile device with this compact wireless camera. Its magnetic feet stick anywhere and send still pictures and videos directly to your screen via a free app.
