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?

I would love, love, love to get my hubby a table saw! He just had his 31st birthday and he’s been wanting a good table saw forever. A $500 gift card would go a long way for sure :-)

TOOL ME!
I’m a D-I-Y girl, but my hubby is a B-U-Y guy. A nail gun might help me convince him to add that crown moulding! (and paint all the other exsisting trim in the house??)
Ashley says
Tool me! We’d like the magic mudder and plastering tools to take our popcorn ceilings off and re plaster them.

Casey says
TOOL ME!
I really, really want a miter saw and a nail gun — I have my eye on the one you’ve been using and recommended! It’s just a matter of taking that leap and actually making the purchase. We have a lot of trim work that desperately needs to be re-done and those two tools would make that DIY a million times easier!
Lynette says
Tool me
I am dying for a nail gun to tackle some board and batten!!

Tool me!
I want a jig saw! Or slightly less aspirationally… just a staple gun

Virginia says
Tool me! Well actually, I’d love to use this on a new set of rollers and other painting supplies (plus boatloads of paint) so we can tackle our coming-soon baby girl’s nursery and a few other rooms about to get a makeover!
(I realize paint tools are pretty low-tech, but ours have gotten pretty creaky and paint-crusted over the years and could use an upgrade!)
Sasha says
Tool me! I would love a nail gun to install some wainscotting in our kitchen dining nook!

I actually want some kind of smaller saw so that I can tackle a few projects without having to constantly ask my husband to help me!

TOOL ME!
Considering I just moved across the country, I have a LOT I could use. Starting with the basics: hot glue gun, staple gun, sewing machine, and more!
Amy Loewen says
Tool me!
I would love the tools (and skills) required to build myself a small screened in patio!
Kate says
Tool me please!
Well my husband gets to buy tools as his treat when I ask him to make me things. I’m guessing he would love more stuff from Kreg. The next little project is a cubby coat hook thingamajig, big project converting the yucky porch to a sun room :)

TOOL ME!
I’d like to have a nail gun to add crown around my house.

I’ve been eyeing a staple gun to recover some dining chairs (and several other projects)…

Tool me! I don’t know if it counts as a tool, but we’re in the process of selling our house and buying a new one, so I’m in desperate need of more time and also $500 to spend on all that little stuff one needs at a home improvement store.
Trina says
Tool me! We could really use a weed eater this summer!
Melissa Padgett says
TOOL ME
We have tools but need wood for new kitchen cabinets. I’m lucky enough to have a carpenter boyfriend who is incredibly talented. $500 would be so great to kick-start our reno!
Michelle Lisse says
“TOOL ME”
We could really use a table saw. And a chain saw. A reciprocating saw would help, too. As would a wet saw….
Clearly, we have a lot of cutting on our to do list….
Jeff H. says
TOOL ME! I’ve been having my eye on the Bosch GTS1031 Table Saw and the Bosch 1617EVSPK Router to help with various projects including some new wall-to-wall bookshelves. Thanks for the contest!

Tool me, please! I’m about to have a major landscape overhaul, so anything and everythign for outside would be great!
Jess says
TOOL ME!!! I’d LOVE a mitre saw to tackle a lot of fun building projects I’ve been dreaming of. I think I’d start of small and make a table for behind our sofa, but it would be awesome when we get around to redoing our molding in our whole house.
