Any tool men out there that can help suggest a father's day present?
Need a manly, man's advice on this one... Getting the Dad/ Home Improvement / free laborer something nifty for fathers day - BUT i'm on a $200.00 budget. He wants tools -- BIG tools: Miter Saw, Table Saw, a Better wet tile saw, and Carpenter tools.
I know cheap isn't quality, and this man is hard on his tools..
Has anyone scoped out something you wanted for around this price range and in the same category?
Thanks Guys!
I think gift cards are so impersonal (especially when that's what i get him every year... :) ) I really appreciate the responses!

Well I'm hardly a "tool man" but I'm usually able to make a man happy (with hardware gifts). You should certainly be able to find a good quality wet tile saw for under $200.00.
Lowes does have a Dewalt 10" single bevel miter chop saw on sale for $198.00 but if your dad is into fancier, bigger work, it may be a little shy on features. Their Kobalt sliding miter compound saw would probably be just right but it's priced at $249.00
For a guy into fancier work, a router is a must and Lowes has them from $50 - $250. With a router and a selection of bits, a guy can make fancy edges on picture frames and table tops, and all sorts of fancy woodwork.
Just go into any large tool department and talk to a clerk. Many of them are very knowledgeable and helpful.

I would go for a laser miter saw they are the bomb. I love mine and it is so handy for so many things. You can get some that act as a crosscut saw also which is like having a miter and table saw in one. Here is a good one. It slides which means you can crosscut boards which means you cut them across their width in addition to making miters and the laser means a laser pointer beam so the cut is right on. A great tool. I have Ryobi tools of all kinds. Many dislike them but if you are just a home DIY type they are good enough. And it just fits your budget. He will be a happy camper.

I bought a table grinder for about $165.00 from Lowes. A man can always use a grinder, especially for sharpening tools such as knives, garden shears and pruners. Or you can even try this neat gadget I saw on TV, which you can get at Lowes too.

GIFT CARDS are not impersonal. It says I love you and I want you to be able to buy the gift you know you will love. I LOVE gifts cards from Home Depot. Oh my goodness, it like heaven and free Christmas and birthdays all rolled up in a lovely little card.
