3. Dremel Stylus

Why he'll love it:

If you've ever used a Dremel rotary tool before, you surely know how useful they are around the house. Thanks to the huge selection of bits and attachments available for Dremels and other high speed rotary tools, they can be used for intricate grinding, sanding, cutting, polishing, buffing, engraving, and much more. The Dremel Stylus is one of the best Dremels ever designed and is certainly the best cordless Dremel yet. Old cordless Dremels suffered from poor battery life and insufficient power. However, those issues are thankfully issues of the past! Powered by internal 7.2v lithium ion batteries, the Stylus can quickly be recharged in under 30 minutes on it's base storage station, so it's always ready. The tool can even hold it's charge for two years! The powerful motor is adjustable from 5,000 to 25,000 rpm and is controlled from a dial conveniently located near the front of the tool. Thanks to it's ergonomic pistol-grip design, the Stylus is easy to hold and control with one hand. The kit includes the tool, charger, and some bits to get started (but it also compatible with all existing Dremel bits). Dremels are so versatile, your dad will be inventing new uses for it!
