2. Makita 5007MG Magnesium Circular saw

Why he'll love it:

7 1/4" circular saws are a power tool mainstay. If your Dad works with any material that needs to be cut -there are hundreds of 7 1/4" circular saw blades available designed to cut almost any material, nothing is faster, more portable, or more accurate than a good circular saw. One of our favorite circular saws is the Makita 5007MG. It features magnesium components for exceptional strength and decreased weight (the entire saw only weighs about 10lbs!), a bright LED work light to illuminate the line of the cut, and a powerful 15 amp motor. The tool is complete with cool chrome accents that give this powerful saw some style! Plus, your dad will appreciate it's ergonomic design and rubberized grips.
