So much that dad wants to clean can be cleaned faster using the power of his drill and a brush. Grill grime cleaned off quickly. Grout cleaned super fast. There are even brushes for cleaning his car!
A Great gift for any dad that owns a drill.
This will definitely find it way into one of my family members stocking this Christmas!

A handy device that measures the moisture and ph of soil is the perfect gift for the dad who loves to garden or enjoys his indoor plants.
Watering too much or too little is a real concern among plant parents and gardeners– the iPower 3 in 1 will give dad the answers he needs.
Soil ph is another big factor for healthy- or unhealthy- indoor or outdoor plants. This little device will help dad know if he needs to amend the ph or if it is just right.
