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?

We are in need of a new drill (ours is dying) and a power sander to refinish some furniture.
Leigh says
Tool Me! We are hoping to begin building a house soon and plan to do a lot of the finish work ourselves. At the very least, a nail gun would be phenomenal!

My next project is re-staining the concrete patio. I know we need some tools… I’d also love a good air compressor.
Keta says
“TOOL ME”
We have a lot of projects for our little house, and there are some tools that my hubby would like to have. One of them is a different attachment for the air compressor. Also, a tool chest (for organization).
Laurae says
TOOL ME!
I would love a wheel barrow to cart around all my lawn dirt, flowers and tools!

TOOL ME! I’ve been wanting the Dewalt combo pack lithium battery drill and impact driver. My boo has them, and the battery lasts forever without being huge and clunky like a big 18v.

TOOL ME!
I’ve been wanting a sander so I can finally repaint some old pieces of furniture that have seen better days.
Kathleen says
TOOL ME! Does a help mate count? I know that’s a person and not a thing, but that’s what I want. Some help, counsel, and extra motivation could make quicker and better work of *any* project, I think. If that just won’t do, then I’d like a power/pressure washer to clean the gutters and soffits on my house and to de-gunk my driveway and walk.

gemma@thesweetestdigs says
TOOL ME!

“TOOL ME”
I want a Kreg Jig and a Drill desperately! I’ve been eyeing one for the past two years. I have piles upon piles of projects I’ve printed out just waiting for me to tackle, but I’d really like to build them with a Kreg Jig for ease and durability. Lets face it, I can’t build anything without a drill either.
Kayla says
Tool me! We have bathrooms to finish! Maybe a wet saw…?
Michelle says
Tool me! I want a staple gun for some re-upholstering.
Jessica says
TOOL ME!
My husband is convinced that he needs a new table saw. For some reason his Bosch is all of a sudden too small and he a needs one that’s larger so that it’s easier to tackle the big projects we have planned. Men and their power tools!
Tammy says
Tool Me!!! Table Saw….

Cathy S. says
TOOL ME! My husband is the ultimate DIYer, he can always use a new tool for his projects (dreamed up by me)!
