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! Please oh please!
I’m in need of a GOOD power drill–I have a very basic hand-me-down right now which is neither powerful, nor good at drilling. As I’m an avid DIYer I’ve got an ongoing list of projects, but the one I really want to make next, and the reason I need the drill, is a bookshelf with a fold-up leaf to use as a craft station. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

TOOL ME! I want one of those levels that you stick to the wall and a laser comes out. Can you tell by my description that I’m not at all tool savvy?
HeatherM says
I know my hubby REALLY wants a planer. I want the saws in our garage to stop multiplying. When we remodeled our kitchen 2 summers ago, I counted 16 saws breeding in our garage. I swear my super-handy in-laws just keep bringing more tools over and they never take them home. So I guess I want tool storage solutions, and hubby wants more tools.
