3. Bosch Cordless Drill 18V Model 36618-02

If you want him to tackle some household repairs or DIY projects this year, a good cordless drill is a must. This is one tool he'll enjoy so much, it won't feel like he's doing a chore at all. In fact, he'll probably be looking for ways to use it. Bosch sells this popular drill with one battery or two - this is why there are price differences. Having a spare battery on hand is a must for any handyman. It means no downtime or having to forgo finishing a project while waiting for the drill battery to recharge. He can just exchange the battery and keep building.

If frying with oil is not his forte, consider the Big Easy Turkey Fryer. He'll love the ease of frying with this oil-less outdoor cooker as much as tasting the savory results. Outdoor cooking is definitely a crowd pleaser and this fryer makes it easy. Learn more about this fryer in my review.

6. Burger Stomper

A must-have summer grilling tool. With the Burger Stomper, he can make uniform (and quick) 6 oz size patties or 2 oz sliders for the kids. Pressing patties is the best way to make burgers, it helps them hold together when on the grill. You'll also save some money not buying ready-made store patties. Clean up is also quick - it can be washed in the dishwasher. A little tool to help the grill chef. This would be a nice accessory to bundle with the Weber® grill (#1).

A handheld with attitude. This is one sweet and handy little vacuum that performs extremely well and is so handy, he'll wonder how he ever managed without it. In 15 minutes or less, he can pick up crumbs in the dining room, lint in the living room, pick up pet hair and get the gravel off the entrance mat. Touch up has never been so easy. Use it in the home, RV or boat. It's a vacuum he'll thank you for - time and again
