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

    I need Skills! I need to learn how to use all the power tools my husband has so I can become more independant on our home improvements. I’ve been waiting a MONTH for him to hang one shelf and install our window boxes, and I’m so ready to pick up some proper tools and just do it myself!
