Hey there yard warriors. Looking to add another tool to your arsenal? Well, this week we’re giving away the new Skil Isio 2-in-1 Shrub and Grass Shear.

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?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 10th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • ELIGIBILITY: This bad boy ships to the US only.
  • THE USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address permitted. Winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday.

    I totally wish I had better graphic designing and computer programing skills. I have a bachelors’ degree in the subject area, but don’t have the experience to get a job :( It’s amazing how many self taught graphic designers have great jobs, and no degree…bummer.
