Rugged waterproof speaker — a great gift idea, if he doesn't already have one

A rugged waterproof Bluetooth speaker is one of those gifts that’s almost universally useful — every dad I know could find a use for one. The only problem is that at this point, a lot of dads already own one, and nobody wants to be the person who gifts a duplicate speaker. So before you buy, do a quick recon. Check his workshop, his car, his camping gear. If he’s speakerless, this is a home run — he’ll use it in the garage, on the deck, at the campsite, pretty much anywhere he spends time outside. The waterproof rating means you don’t have to panic if it gets left out in the rain, and the rugged build means it can handle being knocked off a workbench. Solid gift if he doesn’t already own one — but do your homework first.
