High-tech gifts for this Father’s Day

Impress the father figure in your life with these high-tech Father’s Day gifts

On Father’s Day, we celebrate the men who have always had our backs. There are countless ways to express your appreciation, but if you ask them for gift ideas, dads usually respond with something utilitarian like lawn equipment, aftershaves, or socks. These are fine ways to show you care, but this year, switch it up a bit. On June 21, surprise your dad with a high-tech Father’s Day gift that’s just as enjoyable as it is practical.

For your convenience, we’ve done the legwork and scoured the web for the best cutting-edge Father’s Day products. Read on to see our favorites.

For the gearhead

If your dad loves his car, he probably spends a fair amount of time keeping it as pristine as possible. It’s his (other) baby after all, and it deserves the best cleaning tools. To that end, it doesn’t get much better than the Complete Car Care Kit from Chemical Guys. It includes a pH-balanced wash system with a soft microfiber wash mitt, wet wax, scratch remover, a wheel cleaner, tire shine, interior cleaning spray, a clay bar, three additional microfiber towels, and a “Speed Wipe” quick detailer for when time is short. Add a water bucket, and Dad will have everything he needs to keep his ride at showroom quality.

If your dad’s car is newer than 1996, an OBDII scanner can help him diagnose confusing error lights and figure out just what’s going on under the hood. This unit from Ancel is designed to intuitively pinpoint engine and emission issues without breaking the bank.

For the athlete

Jumping rope is one of the simplest and most effective cardio workouts there is, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Let the RENPHO Smart Jump Rope bring your dad’s workout routine into the modern age by tracking the number of skips, skip time, calories burned and tangles on a digital display and accompanying smart app. It comes with three workout modes: free jump, time countdown and numbers countdown.

For the griller

Father’s Day lands just a few days short of the official start of summer, which makes it the perfect time to grill with the family. Why not make the process easier, classier, and more orderly with a comprehensive grilling set? This Cuisinart 20-Piece Deluxe Stainless Steel Grill Tool Set certainly fits the bill, with durable stainless-steel tools housed in a beautifully designed aluminum case. The utensils include a chef’s spatula, grill tongs, a digital temperature fork, a silicone basting brush, eight corn-on-the-cob holders, five skewers and a cleaning brush with an extra brush head.

For the DIY-er

If your dad is a big DIY-er, it’s fairly likely he already has the essential tools at home — hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, and the like. Take his setup to the future by giving him a laser-accurate way to measure guidelines and angles over distance, literally. This Huepar Electronic Self-Leveling Rotary Red Laser Level Kit is state-of-the-art with a 360-degree self-leveling laser that covers the floor, walls and ceiling of any room. It projects a powerful red laser that’s visible in nearly any conditions. It’s IP65-certified to resist dust, a sudden shower and even torrential rainfall.

For the shutterbug

Whether it’s family photography, landscapes, birding, or sports, a high-end digital camera allows you to preserve unforgettable moments and keep them forever. Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera Double Zoom Lens Kit is an incredible camera at a fair value, as it offers 24.1 megapixel quality, 1080p video and Wi-Fi connectivity. It also comes with two lenses: the EF-S 18-55mm and EF 75-300mm lenses. And while the camera is the centerpiece of any photography loadout, experienced photographers know it’s just the beginning.

If a camera is a bit out of your reach, consider accessories like Vanguard’s Alta Pro 263AB (Gen 2) Full-Size Camera Tripod or Lowepro’s ProTactic Camera backpack — both greatly expand the capabilities of any photographer and make great Father’s Day gifts.
