Home Depot offers the Ryobi 6-Tool Combo Kit with two batteries and charger for $199 shipped. Normally $299, this is a match for our last mention and is the best available. If dad doesn’t have a tool kit like this yet, Ryobi is a great place to start. I’ve used their products for many years and absolutely love them. The ONE+ system allows you to use the same battery (two of which come in this kit) on every item in the “world’s largest 18-volt tool system.” Rated 4.6/5 stars.
Save some cash and just start off with the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Lithium-Ion Drill / Driver (LDX120C) for $35 shipped. The battery isn’t compatible with as many other items, and you’ll only get a single tool here, but it’s the perfect starting place if you don’t have anything yet.
Regardless of whether you get the Ryobi combo kit or the BLACK+DECKER drill, you’ll need some drill bits. This 109-Piece BLACK+DECKER Combination Accessory Set (BDA91109) for $17 Prime shipped is a great starting place. You’ll get a variety off drill bits for wood, metal, plastic, and masonry here, as well as some hole drilling attachments, screw driving accessories, and more.
