Surprise dad this year with gifts from the experts at Rick's Ace Hardware
Published 06/13/23
Father’s Day is consistently one of the busiest shopping seasons in the U.S., according to research from Oberlo, meaning it’s important to act quickly and not waste any time when shopping.
The amount people spend on Father’s Day has grown dramatically in the last decade, jumping from nearly $13 billion in 2012 to $20 billion in 2022.
Richard F. Baalmann Jr., owner of Rick's Ace Hardware, 11767 Manchester Rd, explained what items can be great gifts for Father’s Day this year.
The MS 250, available for $399.99, can handle everything from clearing trees to cleanup tasks around your yard, and can help you build a massive woodpile for your fireplace. It was designed with safety in mind, featuring a smooth, clean design that can’t get snagged on anything. It has easy-to-use features like the toolless fuel and oil caps and air filter cover.
“I happen to know amazing things concerning this chainsaw from many satisfied customers. It's supposed to have great power, and it also has something called a winter/summer shutter, which makes it easy to operate in either summer or winter and stops icing in low temperatures,” Richard F. Baalmann Jr. said.
This compact drill/driver kit packs a lot of punch for its small size, which means it can be used in the smallest of spaces. The kit, priced at $199, can withstand a lot thanks to advanced overload protection, and it will run for a lot longer than you’d expect.
“I hear a lot of people rave that Milwaukee produces some of the best drills,” Richard F. Baalmann Jr. said. “I agree with that. Their batteries really hold their charge, and the prices are reasonable. This drill specifically is awesome to have for around the house.”
You can store hand tools and accessories in this five-drawer, key-locked product that offers 10,227 cubic inches of storage space. There’s a larger bulk storage area for anything bigger, and each drawer can hold up to 30 lbs, which should be more than enough for $219.
“This tall toolbox is super great to have in the garage,” Richard F. Baalmann Jr. said. “Its heavy-duty drawers are nice to store power tools and hand tools, and there’s also a larger storage section for bigger items. Those things don't even have to be tools, they can be whatever you might need storage for.”
This is touted by EGO as the most powerful cordless misting fan, available for $279.99, reaching speeds of over 20 mph. It can cool up to 540 sq. ft. and is both portable and flexible, so you can take it with you to any job site, party, or beach day. It runs for up to 60 hours on the lowest setting so you can keep cool for a long time in the hot summer months.
“This fan is very good for hot summer days,” Richard F. Baalmann Jr. said. “Your kids will adore using it to get cool after running around outside, playing games, cycling, or whatever it may be.”
This Ace Hardware exclusive is the biggest grilling innovation in decades. It’s got heavy-duty 9mm stainless steel cooking grates, carbon steel flat top and comes in an indigo color you won’t find anywhere else. You can grill, bake, even stir-fry on the Genesis SA-E-330’s stainless steel grills and expandable top cooking grate, all powered by liquid propane or natural gas. Get this grill for $100 off at $1,259 for the month of June.
“This grill is an Ace Hardware special.” Richard F. Baalmann Jr. said. “I’ve figured that because of the way the burners are made, it produces even heat around the whole grill, which is good for being able to prepare all your meats, veggies, or whatever you're cooking for the same time period without having to move them around.”
This thermometer uses two sensors to measure the internal and ambient temperature of whatever you’re cooking so you get perfect results every time. It’s easy to use thanks to the Meater Smart Meat Thermometer app, and easy to carry with a storage case that doubles as a charging dock that can attach right to your grill. Get this gift for $20 off from June 2nd through June 21st!
“This would certainly be quite a good Father's Day present for those dads who love to grill. Not too highly-priced, but something that's totally essential for grilling,” Richard F. Baalmann Jr. said.
