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 need skillz! I also need the superhuman skill of being able to talk to animals. Maybe then I could better discipline my pets, who don’t seem to understand English.

    I NEED SKILLS! My family is returning from life overseas and are in need of SKILs..of all sorts. We are wanting to purchase an older fixer up home and longing to shower it with TLC. Can’t wait to sink a brush into some paint and get started (maybe I should be working on the patience department since we don’t have the house yet).

    I NEED SKILLS! And what I wish is that I could make two sounds that my mouth seems incapable of, so far. I’d love to be able to give one of those big whistles you can hear everywhere (you know, the kind you do using your index finger and thumb). And I’d love to be able to properly trill my R’s the way my Spanish teacher wanted me to. Is it genetic? How do normal people do these things?! Help me feel better about myself with cordless gardening tools :-)
