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 me some wet tile saw because a girl always needs one of those. No joke. I would love one and forever enjoy those clean tile cuts. Again. No joke.

    TOOL ME! I could use some “help I need a new backsplash” tools. Along with a “help I need a new backsplash” book. Because, obviously, I don’t even know the names of the tools I will need for this. Just that I will need some — because I’m pretty sure it takes more than a drill, some pliers, some screwdrivers and a hammer. ;)
