Give him a very basic and cheap toolkit you know he already has. Firstly, he already has those tools and secondly he assumes you doubt his ability due to the cheapness of the tools. Like giving a Michelin chef a dollar store copper knife, they'd assume you think they can't cook.
Something like a 2 pack of a Phillips and flathead screwdriver. So common even non DIY people always have them, and so cheap that they are useless.
Kind of hard to explain but hopefully that gets the pount across.
I recommend ghosting.
If he asks you about it, re-ghost him (oh I forgot? Anyways...).
I didn't think Father's Day gifts were that much of a standard thing. Most I've ever done is a text and maybe taking him to dinner or golfing.
So a "happy father's day" card if you need to get something
The most boring father's day greeting card you can find and a fiver.
Edit: actually, don't spend the money on him, send him an electronic greeting card, equally boring, and donate, in his name, to a charity he'd hate.
It would be beautiful to donate to the local pride center in his name and just watch him seethe. That's such a perfect idea, since if he actually voices a complaint, he knows it makes him the asshole.
I saw you mentioned mornonism in a separate comment, if it's in Utah, that makes it even better.
"World's Best Dad" mug with the word "Best" crossed out?
My wife suggested "number one sad" with a card explaining that he was, in fact, my first dad lol
A fathers day card from the dollar store. Include a gift card from the same dollar store. Put no money on the gift card.

Football merch in his least favorite team.
Hey that would be easy, he hates football!
Buffalo Bills it is!
Something nice, that he likes.
Anything else and you are definitely not trying to keep the drama at bay.
The same tie you gave him last year.
