"This Father&amp;#039;s Day, skip the tie and opt to give Dad something really useful. Here are a few gift ideas that will help him clean his computer, tool shed, and car, and keep him safe during his summer DIY projects.   To clean camera lenses, computer keyboards, car dashboards and more, we recommend the Metropolitan DataVac Electric Duster ($61, right). Its powerful blast of air blows dust and debris from the hardest-to-reach places. With its three attachments and four-piece detailing kit, it can even be used to blow dust from the corners of the garage or tool shed. We found it easy to maneuver and love that it eliminates the need to buy pressurized cans of air.    Also from Metropolitan Vacuum, the Professional Hand-Vac ($54, left) makes quick work of cleaning the car. We think the slim, retro design makes it easy to hold, maneuver, and store. It comes with three attachments for dusting, cleaning fabrics, and vacuuming crevices. There&amp;#039;s even a model with an adaptor that plugs directly into the car&amp;#039;s outlet for easy on-the-go cleanup. For the Dad that does his own yard work or carpentry, 3M Tekk Protection has some new and updated safety products. The Digital WorkTunes Hearing Protector and Digital AM/FM Stereo Radio ($50, right) combines noise reduction headphones with music to entertain him while he works. The digital AM/FM radio has an   LCD display and is compatible with iPods and other MP3 players. The headphones are rated to reduce noise to 22 decibels (repeated exposure to 85+ decibels from lawn mowers and power tools can cause hearing loss), and are a great way to keep Dad safe while he&amp;#039;s using power tools or mowing the yard.   Because even just trimming the bushes can cause an eye injury, 3M has developed some new protective eyewear that does away with the outdated, ugly plastic safety goggles of the past. The Fuel and ForceFlex models ($15-$20, left) offer UV protection and impact resistance, and come in styles that could pass for designer sunglasses. The ForceFlex frames are flexible yet resilient for a more customized fit, while the Fuel model has polarized lenses for optimum clarity.
