For many dads, the garage isn't just a place to park the car—it's a sanctuary, a workshop, and a playground all rolled into one. If your dad spends most of his free time tinkering in the garage, finding the perfect gift for him can seem like a daunting task. But don't worry! We've curated a list of the best gifts for dads who are always in the garage, featuring 10 top-notch products from JEGS that will make his time in the garage even more enjoyable and productive.
1. JEGS Two Cup Holder
He sneaks off to the garage to get away, often with a warm or cold beverage in his hand. Half the time he doesn’t finish it because it spills on the floor. Does he have somewhere to put it where it is? He will be with the JEGS Two-Cup Holder. It holds two cans, cups, or standard bottles sturdily, preventing the all-too-common spills. He can fasten it to the wall or keep it on the workbench for his active drink, plus a spot for a spare.
2. JEGS Digital Torque Adapter
Dad’s eyesight is worsening ever so slightly year after year, and the last thing you want is a wheel coming off because it was torqued incorrectly. Give his eyes a break with the JEGS Digital Torque Adapter that fits any 1/2-inch drive breaker bar. It adapts for 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch bars too, and it has both a torque indicator buzzer and LED. It works for left- and right-hand threaded fasteners.
3. OEMTOOLS 3 Jaw Adjustable Magnetic Oil Filter Wrench
Who else do you ask to do an oil change, no matter how old you are? It’s Dad’s job (and his pleasure) to keep everyone’s vehicle maintained. But oil filters can be a pain, except when you have an oil filter wrench like this. The OEMTOOLS 3-Jaw Adjustable Magnetic Oil Filter Wrench gets better purchase on an oil filter housing, digging in with the jaws. And when it’s finally off, the filter stays in the jaws with magnets that hold it firmly.
4. JEGS Locking Pliers Slide Hammer
Bearings get seized, caliper sliders get corroded, and it’s all you can do to break them loose from where they’re installed. The JEGS Locking Pliers Slide Hammer makes gripping the troublesome part simple, and the quick-attach slide hammer lets you pound it out in the simplest way possible. It’s fun to torch out seized parts, but why not salvage them and make the job even faster?
5. Viair 400P Portable Air Compressor Kit
Air compressors are incredibly versatile tools, and the Viair 400P Portable Compressor Kit is a great option for any garage. This compressor is powerful enough to handle a variety of tasks, from inflating tires to powering air tools. It’s also portable, making it easy to move around the garage or take on the go, needing only a 12-volt battery in reach of the alligator clamps. The oil-free pump means less maintenance for Dad. It's a practical gift that Dad will find endless uses for in the garage, and on the go too.
6. JEGS Bucket Top Parts Washer
Oily, dirty parts are a hassle, and no one loves the job of scrubbing them clean. Whether for your classic car project or resealing a transmission oil pan, start with a clean slate. The JEGS Bucket Top Parts Washer can be used with any 5-gallon bucket, and it includes an electric pump, a hose with a brush, and a bucket insert that strains out the debris. When you don’t have the space for a full-size parts washer, this is the next best thing.
7. JEGS MIG 100 Gasless Wire Welder
Big and small repair jobs go sideways in a flash. When they do, fixing the issue can come down to either costly replacement parts, or fabricating your own fix. The JEGS MIG 100 Gasless Wire Welder is perfect for the occasional welder and only requires standard garage wiring plugs. The kit also includes a handheld mask, wire brush, and a spool of flux-core welding wire to get you started.
8. JEGS Top Load Vertical Sandblast Cabinet
Refinishing projects, cleaning spark plugs, getting parts ready for paint or powder coating. The JEGS Top Load Vertical Sandblast Cabinet has almost unlimited uses. The cabinet keeps your blasting media from showering all of your tools and vehicles in the garage while still letting you see through its massive window. Included gloves keep your hands from getting raw, and the blast gun also sports four nozzle replacements.
9. JEGS Bench Vise With 8-inch Jaws
In the solace of his garage, Dad’s always fixing something for one of the cars, the house, or something around the yard. Many times, holding your project still is the name of the game, and the JEGS Bench Vise with 8-Inch Jaws is more than just a suitable option – it’s a necessity. Forget about undersized options with 4-inch or 5-inch jaws. This larger-sized option bolts down to the workbench, has a wide 3 ¼-inch throat, and it swivels a full 360 degrees. What’s even better is the built-in anvil, so pounding something back into shape doesn’t have to destroy the bench (again).
