Bought as a Christmas present for my dad last year on the advice of a website that gave me lists of "Dad's Handy Items". The success surpassed anything I could have hoped for - my father used it to build a massive creek bridge on the family farm, leveled steel beams, rebar and several 500 pound cement piers with it. (See photos of the bridge currently in the works!) 10/10, highly recommend for your handy dad. Professional tool, very useful.
