GT Revolution Trimmer/Edger/Mini-Mower
Sponsored
Why Dad Will Love It: Make Dad’s life easier with one tool that can do it all. This combination trimmer, edger, and mini-mower is a great option for this Father’s Day. It has all the most-requested features, including a long, adjustable handle, which can accommodate taller users, and a shaft that ratchets from 0 to 90 degrees, which is helpful for getting to those hard-to-reach areas. This tool also features a control called “Command Feed.” As if the name wasn’t cool enough, the “Command Feed” function will allow Dad to provide more line for continued trimming with a press of a button. A pre-wound cartridge spool with holder is attached to the trimmer’s shaft for convenience. The trimmer can easily be converted into a wheeled-edger, which will allow Dad to cut precise edging. Done with edging but need to cut back the lawn in spots? The wheels also attach to the trimmer’s guard for mini-mower tasks. The GT Revolution features two 20V lithium batteries, which means Dad won’t have to worry about dragging a cord, as well as a five-hour charger, two spools, and a three year warranty. The GT Revolution is a great choice for dads who need a versatile tool for yard work.

The Nut Picker-Upper
Why Dad Will Love It: This unique tool looks like it should come with a hamster that runs around the metal cage at the end. The admittedly strange appearance of the Holt’s Nut Wizard, however, does not detract from its amazing nut-gathering abilities. If Dad has nut-producing trees like oak or black walnut, he’ll know that picking up all those nuts can be an exhausting and back-breaking chore. But leave them on the ground and they’ll sprout thousands of seedlings next year. Mowing just shoots the acorns around like projectile missiles. With the Nut Wizard, Dad can simply roll the caged end around, and the flexible wires part for easy collection. Different sizes are available based on the nut size (12-inch Nut Wizard pictured).
Prices vary by size

Why Dad Will Love It: If Dad is a fan of efficiency, he’ll love the Root Assassin Shovel and Saw garden tool. This patented all-purpose garden tool is a shovel and a saw in one.

The Root Assassin is made of steel, is available in 32-inch and 48-inch models, weighs only 4 lbs., and comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee. Introduce Dad to his new favorite tool this Father’s Day.

Not Your Ordinary Wind Chimes
Why Dad Will Love It: We’re not kidding when we say these are not your ordinary wind chimes. These come from a company called Music of the Spheres, and the name seems appropriate. The Music of the Spheres chimes are advertised as being made from high-quality tempered aluminum alloy tubing, which is manufactured to never rust. They are tuned to the standard orchestral pitch and feature solid polyethylene clappers that are shaped to perform in a wind as light as 8 to 10 mph. The tough synthetic cordage is also apparently resistant to abrasion, UV rays, rot, and mildew. If Dad has a big tree and the wherewithal to hang it, the largest of these wind chimes is called the “Basso Profundo” and is over 14 feet tall! But you don’t need to go that big for these chimes to be impressive. There are a variety of tunings all featuring soothing sounds in sizes ranging from the much more realistic 30 inches on up. You can listen to all of the size and tuning options on the company’s website.
