TOWSON, Md., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Father’s Day, CRAFTSMAN®, a Stanley Black & Decker brand, is inviting families to trade extra daylight for extra time together with the launch of the “Longest Day Build Hub” on CRAFTSMAN.com.

#CRAFTSMANCrew creators Nik & Liv bring the action to their backyard with an Adventure Structure featuring monkey bars, a swing and climbing elements.

Created to celebrate Father’s Day falling on the summer solstice — the longest day of the year — the new hub gives DIY dads and their families everything they need to turn inspiration into action, with project ideas, build guides, tools and materials lists, and links to shop a special V20* ADVANCED™ Battery offer.

To bring the hub to life, CRAFTSMAN tapped two of its sponsored #CRAFTSMANCrew creators (and parents!) – DIY duo Nik & Liv and renovation expert Alex D’Alessio – to share outdoor projects designed to help families build, play and make memories together all summer long.

The Builds:
Nik & Liv bring the action to their backyard with an Adventure Structure featuring monkey bars, a swing and climbing elements. Inspired by their travels and a love of the outdoors, it’s the kind of build kids will talk about for years.

“Some of our favorite family memories come from building things outdoors that we can enjoy together. This project brings home a piece of our recent Switzerland adventure while making the most of the extra daylight, giving us a gift that lasts long after the tools are put away.” – Nik & Liv

Alex D’Alessio takes on a backyard refresh, showing how dads can use the season’s longest day to create a more functional, family-friendly outdoor space.

“I love that the Longest Day Build Hub gives dads an easy way to use the extra daylight for something meaningful. I cherish every moment I spend outside with my kids, and this project allows us to enjoy a refreshed backyard and gives my family a safe place to play.” – Alex D’Alessio

The Longest Day Build Hub also features links to shop a deal on the new CRAFTSMAN V20* 6Ah ADVANCED™ Battery, with $100 in savings available through Lowe’s, Amazon, and Ace Hardwareⱡ. Designed with more power^† to handle demanding projects and tough materials, the battery helps DIYers keep projects moving from sunup to sundown.

More Daylight + More Power = More “Whoa”
The new V20* ADVANCED™ Batteries are available in two models: a V20* 6Ah battery, which delivers up to 3X the power and up to 3X the runtime, and a V20* 3Ah battery, which provides 96% more power and up to 50% more runtime^†. Compatible with over 100 CRAFTSMAN V20* products across power tools and outdoor equipment, the V20* ADVANCED™ Batteries are like giving dad’s existing toolbox a turbo boost.
