June is here, marking not only the beginning of summer (finally), but also Dad’s favorite day of the year–Father’s Day! Whether your Dad works in the trades or saves his skills for home and DIY projects, Ohio Power Tool carries tons of products that all Dads alike will love.
Fun Fact!
Speaking of Fathers–Did you know that Ohio Power Tool is a family-run business? Jim and Suzanne Amstutz opened Central Ohio Power Tool as a tool repair center in 1983. Over the years, tool sales were gradually added to the mix, and the building grew 5 times in size. As the company expanded, “Central” fell off the name and son, Jay, stepped in as President. While Jim and Suzanne have now retired, they both continue to work very closely with the company.
To get your shopping started, here are 15 Father’s Day gift ideas that are either top sellers or something pretty much any Dad would love:
