    I'm probably opening up a can of worms but what is your favorite or recommended "tire thumper"/tire checker?

    Do you prefer wood (cedar, ash, etc. such as the Ozark Tire Thumper), polymer/lead core (RoadPro) or aluminum (Unitoool 'lil bopper)?

    Father's day is next month and the wife and kids are looking for hints.

    I use my foot but I guess that would probably make a crappy gift!

    Look online, I'm sure you can find something nice to give him. Maybe even have it engraved or personalize it.

    I suggest a metal one. The wood ones are too easily broken when you use it on the occasional pushy lot lizard.
