Fab Freebie: Tek For Dads

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

According to random.org, the winner this week is… Kat (who celebrated Father’s Day with cards, dinner for her husband and a called to her dad). Congrats!

In honor of Father’s Day (yes, I realize it was yesterday, but why not keep the celebration alive?) we’re giving away – you guessed it – TOOLS. But these particular tools are Ryobi TEK4 tools, a series of ten cordless gadgets that look pretty darn sleek, are crazy durable, and run on a long-lasting 4V rechargeable battery. And come to think of it, ladies would look just as good slinging these guys (so they’re not just for dads). We picked our three most go-to devices from the TEK4 line and are giving them (plus an extra battery and charger) to one lucky guy or gal this week. So without further ado, your trio of tools: the Self-Leveling Plumb / Cross Laser, the Professional Stud Sensor, and the Compact Drill / Driver (and the handy battery they all share).

Ryobi Tek4 Giveaway

  • PRIZE: The three Ryobi TEK4 tools shown above, plus extra battery and charger.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TEK ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … share with us what you did you celebrate Father’s Day yesterday. A special breakfast? A family dinner? A card from your dog (Burger makes me one every year). Maybe just a phone call to say “hello” to someone special? Or was yesterday just your average Sunday?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 22th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The contiguous 48 United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perked for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers. See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Ryobi.

    It was low-key. We spent the previous day at a family wedding so we were all a bit on the tired side. We mostly made phone calls to our various dads, grandpas, etc.

    My husband and I moved into a new apartment on Saturday, so we spent yesterday unpacking and setting up with help from my parents. Our first daughter is due any day now, so we’ll get lots of Father’s Day fun when she arrives!

    We celebrated yesterday with a brand shiny new Kreg Jig. Hub happy danced that I bought him such a useful tool that he’d never heard of himself, and I have you (and Centsational Girl) to thank for that one!

    Now how double impressed would he be if I busted out these? His birthday is less than two months away! I could be the best wife ever!

    We went down to my sister’s extended family picnic because my dad was going to be there, but it was nice to see distant family that I don’t see much. Then we headed over to my boyfriend’s dad’s for dinner and to see his sisters.

    But the tools would totally be for me. I’m a tool junkie ;)

    My poor husband is surrounded by girls, so he wanted a super manly, adrenaline boosting day. So, after he got off work doing baggage for Southwest, we took him go-karting, and then he played some ice hockey.

    He doesn’t have a whole lot of patience for DIY, so these beauties would likely end up mine… but he’d appreciate the surprise either way. Maybe he’ll pitch in next time I hang a shelf?

    Called my dad. The dogs decided not to make a card this time, as their last attempt at signing with paw prints just left some dirty smudges on the card.

    I had cookies and an “I Love My Dad” onesie for our LO waiting for hubs when he woke up. Then I made him egg in a hole for breakfast. He wanted to take the LO to the Natural History museum, so we went there. Then finished off the day with dinner with MIL. Not a bad Father’s Day!
