Manly gift idea help

I drew my BIL's name in our family gift exchange. I have no idea what to get him. He is a guy's guy- into tools and building things, but that's about it. He isn't into sports, he doesn't drink, he isn't into technology at all. 
We have always given him tools, but he has basically every tool there is at this point- at least in our $50-75 price range. 

Any ideas?

    Get him a cool Lego set to build. I only say that because I was just looking at Lego's and they have some really neat stuff!

    ETA: Does he like jerky or coffee or anything specialty like that you could get him?

    Maybe a magazine subscription on manly tool or building stuff? I don't even know if there are any out there.

    Does he like beer, whiskey, or bourbon?  Those are good gifts that don't get wasted.

    He doesn't drink ;)

    How about a nice Columbia fleece? That could be accomplished on that budget, I think? Try out backcountry (it's a web site that often has really good deals).

    Nice shave stuff? My husband likes the Art of Shaving stuff. It's made by Procter and Gamble.

    Negatory. He needs beard oil and mustache wax.

    I second the magazine subscription, you could also check out if there are some workshops around his place to learn how to build things, that you could give a certificate for a course or something... I know I'd love that

    Doesnt drink --- GASP!!! I just bought hubs a cute personalized tool belt and multitool from this Etsy site. They have lots of great stuff and are pretty reasonable. https://www.etsy.com/shop/TealsPrairie?ref=l2-shopheader-name

    Monster truck tickets?

    I was going to say leather work gloves, those are always a hit in my family for gift exchanges, but your price range is too high.

    Can you find out if he has magazine subscriptions? My H got a subscription to This Old House mag one year and loved it. I agree with checking groupon too.
    Handyman magazine is a DH favorite, he had a subscription when overseas and it was a much requested read among the guys when he got it each month.
    Old House Journal and Fine Woodworking were favorites with my carpenters. OHJ recently changed their format to absorb their sister publication Old House Interiors, but they still have all the detailed, manly DIY articles too. 

    I personally think This Old House has sold out and is just one big HD advertizement.
