Home Inspector Tools Are Just What Dad Needs for Father’s Day
Share News:
Father’s Day is just over a week away, and while we know you put a lot of thought into your gift already and would never leave it to the last minute, there’s still plenty of time to find treasures with which to shower Dad this year. And what would Dad like better than a fancy new tool? And who better than to recommend a new tool than the professionals who use them?
Here are some tools that home inspectors use Dad might appreciate this year:
The Best and Brightest
When it comes time to choose the best flashlight, different people have different needs. Some people go for a really heavy model, like the Mag-lite, which is great if you want your flashlight to double as a weapon. But for working around the house or garage or even to have while hiking and camping, you may want something that’s durable but lighter to carry around. The Streamlight Stinger works well, and the company also makes a heavy duty model if that’s your preference.
Every flashlight aficionado is going to go for the brightest, most blinding model around, and the Streamlight that Clayton recommends is one of the brightest tactical flashlights on the market at 3,500 lumens.
Is It Hot Enough For You?
It’s not so much a question of whether Dad needs an infrared thermometer around the house, but how much fun Dad could have using an infrared thermometer around the house. Imagine the detective work he could do getting to the root of AC and water heater problems with this handy new tool. He’ll know the exact temperature of every air register in the house!
Does It Blow the Hair Off the Dog?
This is a great — and inexpensive — tool every homeowner should have, and it’ll help him take care of a fun little task you should put on his seasonal home maintenance checklist. While putting a task on Dad’s “honey-do list” may not sound like a gift, a Dad who wants a tool for a Father’s Day gift won’t mind!
It’s a good idea to check your water pressure periodically to make sure it’s not running too high or too low as it could be an indicator that something is wrong. Low water pressure might indicate a leak. If the pressure is too high you may need a pressure regulator. Either way, you’ll need to call a plumber.
If your Dad is handy around the house and would enjoy a new tool for Father’s Day, one of these might just be the ticket! For more recommendations on home inspector tools, check out #ToolTimeTuesday.
