Fab Freebie: April Tools

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

Well the lucky April fool, er, person who’s getting the $500 gift card to the home improvement store of their choosing  – all thanks to Hometalk! – is… Rebecca (who says she and her husband really need a router table to change out some non-functional kitchen cabinets). Congrats!

Nope, this isn’t a joke. Someone somewhere in the world is gonna win $500 this week, and it’s all thanks to Hometalk. It’s a free community where DIYers and pros can exchange projects and advice, which makes it a great spot to discover new ideas (everything from major remodels to easy cleaning tips pop up). The photo-centric boards make browsing for inspiration a breeze and connecting with the creator is just as easy. And since Hometalk is all about helping you tackle our next project, they want to give you the right tools – which is why they’re serving up a $500 gift card to your favorite home improvement store (be it Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears or something else). Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

    Tool me!!
    I would love to have my own cordless drill, so I don’t have to go out in the garage and hunt down my hubby’s (and so I can keep my bit in it for picture-hanging projects!) I would also love to have tile cutter for an upcoming backsplach project in the kitchen. (Have you seen the arabesque-shaped tile?–pretty awesome!)

    TOOL ME! We have most tools but I would love a tile saw. I’m new to your blog but I love it. Thanks!

    TOOL ME! We have desperately needed a real table saw for the last eight years for various home projects. Instead we’ve very precariously used our circular saw. We’d like to move soon so we’ll probably have some new projects and for our safety’s sake it’s time to get one! I would also love a sander to replace our hand-me-down that shocks you. So many dreams of refinishing projects…

    TOOL ME. Can paint be considered a tool? I SO desperately want to repaint my kitchen, living & dining rooms.

    Our family is moving in to our first house in June!! I can’t even begin to think about all the things we will want or need. I would love a sander and a good staple gun as I’m rehabbing an old ladder back chair right now.

    I would love a table saw. I have been wanting to do pallet wood projects and having a table saw would be perfect to cut the boards down to size. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

    Tool me!!!!
