Kentucky may be the bourbon capital of the world, but when it comes to traditional whisky, the West is where it’s at.

White Duck Work Apron
Why we’d love to have it:
Some guys prefer tool belts and other guys prefer aprons. If you’re on the apron side of the argument, you have to check out White Duck’s work apron. Available in brown, tan, or black (we prefer brown), they’re made from 24-oz waxed cotton canvas tough enough for any shop while protecting against sawdust, stains, shop gunk, and more. Three chest pockets and two kangaroo front pockets hold your gear where it’s easy to access. The shoulder straps are adjustable and padded, and there’s a quick-release buckle for the waist strap.
Get it for:

Kershaw Cargo Pocket Knife
Why we’d love to have it:
The first time I picked up the Kershaw Cargo pocket knife, I was in love. It’s a lightweight design with a clip point D2 steel blade settling into a glass-filled nylon handle. There’s no assist, but the thumb studs make it easy to open with one hand. What sold it for me is the mid-lock. This knife is a wonderful combination of modern materials and a design reminiscent of Grandpa’s pocket knife.
Get it for:

$100 – $250
Gerber Dual Force Multi-Tool
Why we’d love to have it:
One of the biggest complaints we have about multi-tools is the pliers just don’t have the strength to do the job sometimes. That changes with the Gerber Dual Force. Boasting twice the jaw strength and force, the slip-joint design with aggressive teeth is far better for getting a grip on stubborn nuts and bolts. Among it many onboard tools, this one also sports the offset driver we first saw on the Gerber Center-Drive multi-tool.
Get it for:
Father’s Day and multi-tools go hand-in-hand. Get this one for any Dad on your list.

Kodiak Quicktrail Nano Work Shoe

Ridgid 18V Brushless 1/2-Inch Ratchet R866012
Why we’d love to have it:
Cordless ratchets are great for helping you tighten and loosen fasteners without the need for a hand tool or the risk of over-torquing. Ridgid has three brushless options with strong performance and we prefer the 1/2-inch model with its 60 ft-lbs of torque. There’s also a 3/8-inch and a 1/4-inch with increasing speeds and decreasing torque.

Bora Centipede 4 x 2 Workbench Set CK28STB
Why we’d love to have it:

The best part? It’s strong enough to hold 2500 pounds!

Why we’d love to have it:

Why we’d love to have it:
Forget swamp coolers—EGO’s 56V cordless misting fan is what all the cool kids are using this summer! Drawing directly from a bucket using a siphon hose, you can switch between constant and intermittent misting, or just use it as a fan. Either way, its 6 speed settings can keep you cool sitting next to the fan or up to 25 feet away and it’s remarkably quiet for its size.
