" FOR THE EXTREME DAD Stanley FatMax Xtreme FuBar Utility Bar ($40)   This heavy-duty, 4-in-1 tool adds to long list of tools in the FatMax line that have impressed us (click here for video). A single piece of steel that&amp;#039;s essentially a crowbar on steroids, this is a reasonably priced gift if pops is all about prying, splitting, bending and slamming. The 4-pound FuBar&amp;#039;s durability-not to mention its textured grip, beveled nail slot, and two-tiered jaws-puts it at the top of our wish list this year.  FOR THE DIY DAD LoggerHead Bit Dr. ($25)   With the exception of its infomercial-friendly name, it&amp;#039;s hard to imagine improving on the Bit Dr., a recent winner of our PM.com Gadget of the Week. This lightweight, multi-bit screwdriver has 10 double-sided bits tucked away in the handle and a quasi-ratcheting function-the rotating shaft locks in place when pressed against a fastener. And it folds down to 4-in.-long and 5/8-in.-wide, so it can tuck right in to your Old Man&amp;#039;s pocket.  FOR THE PARANOID DAD WiLife LukWerks Outdoor Camera Starter Kit ($299)   This one&amp;#039;s not for the meek; it&amp;#039;s for the freaked-out Skype user. It&amp;#039;s a webcam and a digital home surveillance system, so Dad can remotely access online video feeds from around the home. If your father&amp;#039;s both a business traveler and protective parent, you&amp;#039;ve found his dream toy. Just don&amp;#039;t say we didn&amp;#039;t warn you.  FOR THE WIRELESS DAD Meraki Mini Outdoor ($49)   Here&amp;#039;s a gift that your father can keep on giving... or selling. When plugged into a cable modem or DSL connection, the weatherproof, card-deck-size Mini can transmit Internet access from 300-750 feet away. With additional Minis to repeat the signal, Dad can spread the home network to others-and even charge users for access! The entire system configures and maintains itself, so your home&amp;#039;s new start-up can be controlled online with Meraki&amp;#039;s control panel system.  FOR THE CHEESY DAD Nikon D40 Kit (approx. $600)   One of our favorite camera brands is offering an incredible deal on its high-quality, 6.1-megapixel SLR digital camera (thanks to the introduction of the its new, 10-megapixel D40x). The 3x 18-55mm lens is better than we expected from a digital SLR, so practice that picture-book smile now, because the more megapixels, the more embarrassing blowups of family portraits-think 8 x 10, or even 11 x 14.   FOR THE DO-IT-ALL DAD Nantucket Diddy Bag ($60)   Whether your dad is a sailor, carpenter, painter or all of the above, here&amp;#039;s a carrier for all occasions. The Bagg, available in canvas or polyester models, is a 30-pocket tote that Dad can unzip, reverse and flip into several different applications. He can convert the Bagg into a knapsack, unroll it into a gardener&amp;#039;s tool holder and turn it inside out as a boating bag -- and that&amp;#039;s just the start.  FOR THE FINGER-LICKIN&amp;#039; GOOD DAD Orion Cooker ($150)   We&amp;#039;ve  built smokers, taken stoves through the backroads of Michigan and camped out with travel grills in Arizona. But the key to Orion&amp;#039;s speed-smoking is that the cooking chamber is sealed. In our blind taste test, every taster preferred the Orion ribs, which were far more tender than our flavorful slow-cooked meat. Family BBQ night never flew so fast.  FOR THE MULTI-TASKING DAD  Leatherman Charge AL ($100-$130 online)   The AL retains the most popular Leatherman features-outside-accessible knives and a saw that you can open like a pocketknife without unfolding the entire tool. Except for all the pliers, everything locks in place when extended-and with 20 features, we mean everything: crimpers, two double-headed screwdrivers, scissors, a prying tool and more. In the unlikely event that Dad actually breaks a blade or loosens a hinge, the 25-year warranty covers everything short of knife sharpening.  FOR THE COUCH POTATO DAD Newstar Remote Control Outlets ($20)   With this gizmo, Newstar proves a synced-up life doesn&amp;#039;t have to burn a hole in your pocket. For one green Jackson, the pack includes an outlet with simple instructions: Plug in any electrical device, and the Old Man can turn it on wirelessly from across the room with the included remote control. That means Pops can control four outlets without moving from his favorite recliner.  FOR THE OUTDOOR DAD SteriPEN Ultraviolet Water Purifier ($99)   We&amp;#039;ve got more favorite camping gear than we know what to do with, but your adventurous father will dig the quickest and easiest way to purify water from any source. Dad can simply place the 3.7-ounce device into a container of water, and the UV light will kill over 99.99 percent of bacteria and viruses in the water. The SteriPEN disinfects a \u00BD-liter of water in 48 seconds, making it a practical present for any mildly clean-freak man.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
