Because even the most well-stocked workshop always has room for something better.
Some dads are hard to shop for. Not because they don’t love gifts, but because they already have the essentials—or at least they think they do. But as any woodworker will tell you, the right tool can make all the difference. Whether he’s the type to geek out over grain direction or the kind of craftsman who still uses his grandfather’s chisel, there’s something on this list that will elevate his shop and show him how much you care.
Here are ten of the best Father’s Day gifts for the woodworking dad who seems to already have it all.
1. Narex Chisels
Even if Dad already has a few chisels, chances are he doesn’t have these. Narex chisels are built with high-carbon steel for razor-sharp durability and finished with ergonomic handles that make long sessions at the bench comfortable and precise. They're the type of tool that feels balanced in the hand, powerful in a cut, and worthy of being passed down.
Why he’ll love it: They’re a massive upgrade over most hardware store sets, and they’ll quickly become his go-to for everything from joinery to cleanup work.
2. Custom Wood Branding Iron
For the craftsman who leaves a mark on every project—figuratively and literally—nothing says “you’ve arrived” like a personalized branding iron. Infinity’s custom branding irons come in torch-heated or electric versions and can be customized with names, initials, or even logos.
Why he’ll love it: Every completed project becomes a signed work of art. It’s a personal, meaningful gift that speaks directly to his pride in the craft.
3. Infinity Tools Dadonator XL Dado Blade Set
Let’s face it: few things get a woodworker’s heart racing like a clean, tear-out-free dado cut. The Dadonator XL is engineered for performance, precision, and serious shop envy—featuring micro-grain carbide teeth and ultra-flat plates for flawless results every time. It’s not just a customer favorite either. In a head-to-head comparison of 11 top dado sets, Popular Woodworking named the Dadonator XL the #1 pick. Reviewer Willie Sandry called it his top recommendation, praising its accuracy, build quality, and overall value.
Why he’ll love it: Once he cuts with it, he’ll wonder how he ever used anything else.
4. MOF001 or TRA001 Triton Router
These mid- to heavy-duty routers are shop staples for a reason. Whether he needs fine control for edge profiling or extra power for joinery, these plunge routers deliver. The MOF001 is lightweight and maneuverable, while the TRA001 offers brute strength with precision controls.
Why he’ll love it: It’s one of the few power tools that can handle delicate work and hog out serious material when needed.
5. Infinity Tools Router Table Package
A router on its own is powerful—but a router table unlocks a whole new level of precision and repeatability. Infinity’s router table packages are designed for serious woodworkers, with cast-iron tops, dust collection compatibility, and micro-adjustable fences that make fine work feel effortless.
Why he’ll love it: This is the kind of gift that says “I believe in your craft” without having to say a word.
6. Infinity Tools Router Bits
Infinity’s router bits are built to perform under pressure—and over the long haul. Made from premium carbide and precision-ground, these bits produce smoother edges, cleaner joints, and consistent results across hardwoods and softwoods alike.
Why he’ll love it: Router bits are like kitchen knives—you can never have too many, and quality makes a huge difference.
7. Premium Hand Plane
There’s something about the whisper of a hand plane shaving down a piece of wood that feels timeless. Infinity Tool's hand planes are modern takes on traditional tools, designed for comfort, adjustability, and flat, consistent performance.
Why he’ll love it: It’s a tool with soul. Every pass reminds him why he fell in love with woodworking in the first place.
8. Brad Point Drill Bit Set
It might not sound flashy, but these Infinity exclusive brad point drill bit sets are a game-changer for accuracy. Brad point tips eliminate wandering, giving cleaner holes, tighter joinery, and better results.
Why he’ll love it: It’s a subtle upgrade that instantly improves almost every project.
9. 102-Pc Hex Driver Set
This isn’t your average driver set. The Infinity Tools 102-Pc Hex Driver Set features precision-ground bits, comfortable ergonomic handles, and a compact storage case, this set is built for serious workshop use. Whether Dad’s adjusting hardware, assembling jigs, or fine-tuning tools, he’ll have exactly the bit he needs—right at his fingertips. It's the kind of set that earns a permanent spot on the bench, not in the back of a drawer.
Why he’ll love it: It’s versatile, well-organized, and saves him a trip across the shop every time he needs the perfect fit.
10. Gift Card (Because He’s Picky, and That’s OK)
Still not sure? A gift card might not be flashy, but it’s always a solid choice—especially when Dad gets to pick exactly what he needs for his next project. Bonus: pair it with one of the smaller tools above for a practical, thoughtful bundle.
Why he’ll love it: No guesswork, no returns—just shop time and the freedom to get the right tool for the job.
