2 Great Gifts For A Dad On-The-Go

Do you have a dad or husband that is always on the go? Driving from here to there, whether it’s for work, play or a combination of the two, it is important to be prepared.
Jump Starter Ful

Items pictured received.

That’s why I was excited to be sent the following products for review and and help spread the word for some new items that will make a perfect riding companion for the Dad who spends a lot of time in the car.

Chamberlain Jump Starter

Have you ever had your car not start because your battery decided not to work? I have and it sucks. You have to wait on a stranger to come along and give you a jumpstart. I hate relying on other people, especially strangers when it comes to something so important like starting your car. Especially when it’s late, or you are running late.Jump Starter Full with charging cord

The Chamberlain Jump Starter solves this problem and has a couple of other really cool uses. You charge this unit from an outlet or car outlet. One charge is good for up to 20 jump starts. Here are some of the highlights of the Chamberlain Jump Starter.

  • Built in flashlight makes nighttime use easy
  • 2 USB ports (1.0V & 2.1V) provide a portable charge for all your mobile devices
  • Jumper cables can jump your car with the push of a button
  • Digital display shows battery percentage

This is a must have for every car, especially if you spend a good chunk of your time on the road, for right around $100 this Jump Starter offers great piece of mind, and has alternative uses as well. A great gift for a travelling Dad.

Black & Decker Power Inverter

Have you ever been on a road trip and wish you had an outlet to power something when a battery dies or something that doesn’t have a battery. You just need a basic household outlet in your car. Well if you have a Dad who is on the road, I am sure he has thought this thought many times!Power Inverter

The Black & Decker Power Inverter provides a household outlet in your car, as well as a 2 amp USB outlet. Providing portable power on the go.

  • Perfect for your iPad, smartphone, laptop, iPod
  • Power up your laptop, printer or fax machine on the road
  • 120 Watt output for 30 minutes
  • 100 Watt output continuously
  • Simply plug into the car lighter and go
    Power Inverter Car Charger

This Power Inverter is needed for anyone who does work from their car, most laptops need a 120 Volt outlet, and this is the answer.  It is an inexpensive way to ensure that you are always charged up for the occasion. At under $30, this is a no-brainer and a perfect gift for Dad or anyone who spends a lot of their time in the car.

Both of these items are must haves if your Dad is a road warrior. Make sure he is safe and all charged up for his next trip and get him these for Father’s Day!

    This is awesome!! The Chamberlain Jump starter would make my husbands life so much easier! He could star his work van up with this product all by himself. I didn’t know this existed. He could really use the Black and Decker Power inverter too! Sweet! Both of these products are reasonably priced as well. Thanks to your post, I now have gift ideas for father’s day and other holidays too! Thank you! :)

    I really like both of these products and the jump starter for my Dad’s car would be a great idea. I like that it holds a charge for a long time and can tell how much amps the battery has.

    These are both great gifts for dad/hubby. I would have to buy 2 of each because I would want one of each of these for myself!

    GREAT IDEAS :)

    I love the idea of any powertools, barbeques, OR shavers.

    there’s also cologne and watches- jewelry.

    My husband would definitely love either of these gifts for Fathers Day or his July birthday. We never know what to get him but since he does spend lots of time in his daily commute to work, this is something that he would benefit from. Thanks for the ideas!

    You definitely pegged it for my husband with these gift ideas! I really appreciate you doing the legwork and helping to take the guesswork out of what to get him as a gift. I have a hard time figuring out what tech items are worth the money. Loving these!

    I actually bought my husband a jump starter a couple of years ago to keep in his truck, but the Black & Decker Power Inverter would be a great gift for him, perfect for when he is on the road for work.

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
