If you don't know what tools to buy, how about some drafting software (if he likes computers) that allows you to design stuff that you want to build.

Or, a nice-looking tool organizer or odds-n-ends organizer for his work area.

A gift certificate to a hardware store is nice but not too personalized of course.

You could see about getting a screwdriver set monogrammed (then he would always know if someone borrowed it!).

Standard dad birthday presents of course include mugs, or for something nicer, a watch.

Or a magazine subscription about woodworking or some other hobby he likes; or, a DVD set for some do-it-yourself projects.

And if he likes beer, try a beer-of-the-month membership, (or a dessert of the month, etc. - whatever he likes).
