This handy little guy works off of a rechargeable battery (woot woot, no cords) and comes with two blades that you can swap in without even breaking out the screwdriver (woot woot, no tools). So whether you’ve gotta show your overgrown shrubs who’s boss or need to bring the smack down on some border grass, here’s your new weapon.

  • FUN BONUS QUESTION: What personal skill do you wish you had (or were better at)? Playing an instrument? Being more patient? Um… juggling?

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • ELIGIBILITY: This bad boy ships to the US only.

    I NEED SKILLS!
    I need power tool skills ~ I needed to drill a hole in a cabinet so I could pull an electric cord through, but I could not figure out how to get the drill bit into the drill lol ~had to wait all day till the hubby came home so he could “show me”. There’s so much more to learn.

    I NEED SKILLS!I wish I were more precise. It would really help in the handy around the house department. I have enthusiasm and can follow through on a home improvement project but it never quite ends up right. Picture frames are crooked, wall paint gets on the ceiling, wood gets cut an inch too short or long. I would love to be more precise.
