We review the Philips Norelco Bodygroom. I said it somewhere else here on dadand.com that my typical approach to grooming has been “minimalist…actually, borderline survivalist.” Well, I was talking about smells in that post but now I’m talkin’ hair. You know, as you get older…the stuff that keeps showing up in every place except for … Continue Reading
As purveyors of fine pants, and promoters of XY chromosomes everywhere, the peeps at Dockers® partnered with Dadand to “Wear the Pants.” Pete and Marty are gonna Wear the Pants, while you readers win some, or at least get a damn good deal on picking up a pair at dockers.com. So for the next three … Continue Reading
I was fascinated with PT-109. The boat. The stories. Infamously chopped in half by a Japanese destroyer while on patrol in the Solomon Islands—and the crew rescued by John F. Kennedy. But mostly, I was mesmerized by the guns and torpedoes. I was seven or eight, and weirdly into war stuff. Maybe not so weird. … Continue Reading
Sometimes I’m just not sure how stuff breaks, loosens or gets all wonky on its own. Like a toilet seat. I could understand maybe the hinges becoming worn over time, from lifting the lid…no…wait, I have three boys and a girl. The lid never gets lifted. No matter what.

You’re a Man. Or a Woman. You like your tools motorized. Motorized with an engine—that you have to start with a pull cord. The kind that awesomely cut the crap out of your grass or hedges; that blow snow into your neighbors driveway; the kind that till the earth so you can plant the back … Continue Reading
If you just want some cat tree plans, download them. Otherwise begin to read. You’ll need to read anyway. A few months back, the family was in the pet store and we came upon those things. Things for cats to climb on, sleep, scratch…cough up hairballs. My Daughter: “Dad can we get one of these … Continue Reading
Ahhh…another list of Holiday gifts. Gifts for Dad. For Mom. For nerds and punk rockers. I think this is the last holiday gift one. And not a single tool on this one, unless you count the guy wearing the backpack we suggest below. Dove Men+Care I just spoke the gospel of Dove Men+Care in my … Continue Reading
Well, not only for dad. I think plenty of moms would love this stuff too. Or people with big stockings. Here’s a smattering of stuff you could put next to the stocking if not in it. Some new and cool tools. Some ol’ faithful friends. An unofficial official Christmas tool guide if you will… Either … Continue Reading
Download Sawhorse Plans Click on the image to download some awesome sawhorse plans. Overdesigned and undervalued. —-> I started working on the countertops for Project Popup and quickly realized I needed another work surface. I’m fortunate enough to have about 1000 sq. ft. of warehouse space, but it’s jammed with half of my tools (the … Continue Reading
Damn terlit paper holder. There is no way you can mount this type of stuff to drywall without it coming loose at some point. You take a trip to the home center to find some new type of magic anchor that will actually hold something on the wall. But you just buy a bigger anchor. … Continue Reading
