1. For the father who insists on a quiet morning commute, the Whisper Drive by Chamberlain (#248754, $228) will give him a calm start to the workday. This garage door opener features a quiet belt-drive opener that continues to operate even when the power goes out. It also turns on the garage door lights when the Protector System(TM) beams are obstructed for added safety.

2. Who says toy boxes are for kids only? With the Kobalt(R) Deep Full-Size Single Lid Truck Box (#183130, $288), he is guaranteed a secure place to store his toys-or tools-as well as a new accessory for his other toy-his truck.

3. Nothing says "clean cut" like a nice shape-up. Help him complete the yard maintenance with a Black & Decker (R) 18-Volt Cordless String Trimmer (#65020, $98.97). A three-hour rechargeable battery system delivers more power and longer run time, and comfort grips provide greater ease of use.

4. If Dad is anxious to show off his burger-flipping skills this summer, help him fire things up with a Perfect Flame 4-Burner Split Lid Gas Grill (#242608, $547, originally $597). It features three stainless burners under the main lid and an energy-saving split lid with infrared burner that cooks food hotter and faster, while the split lid locks in heat.

5. A manicured lawn is sure to make neighbors green with envy. Give Dad the upper-hand with the John Deere 18.5-HP 42-Inch Hydrostatic Zero-Turn Radius Mower (#212440, $2,899). This riding mower includes overhead valves for superior power, efficient fuel economy and adjustable motion controls.
