Years of power tool shopping for Father’s Days past have probably yielded the dad in your life a garage or shed full of handy gadgets. This year, give him the tools he needs to use his stockpile safely.

For table saws and other large tools, give your dad a motor safety switch with a large “stop” paddle or switch. It allows him to use his hip or foot to immediately cut power to the tool without removing a hand from the work piece. This will help him keep his work safe and steady. The switch easily mounts to most 120-volt machinery.

If he spends full weekend days near his workbench, pick a pair of supportive steel-toed boots to protect his feet from knocked off or dropped work gear. Good work boots also will reduce fatigue and keep his knees and back comfortable even after a full day on his feet.

Toss in the classic safety gear: Sporty safety glasses styled like sunglasses offer a snug fit and wraparound protection in both clear and tinted styles. Choose a snug pair of work gloves with extra gripping strips to help your dad keep a firm hold on his tools and work materials. And don’t forget his ears. A simple pair of ear plugs will keep that ringing noise at bay after he works around loud machinery.
