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.

    I did help a new dad in the neighborhood sew blackout onto some curtains.

    I helped out with children’s Sunday School (making five paper ties for their dads was tiring), napped, and called home. Not too exciting, but I get to see the dads in my life soon. They all have birthdays to celebrate this week!

    My own dad spends the day at an Father’s Day Golf tourny, so I had to text him! Wasn’t that special ?! We are light on gifts these days, it’s hard to come up with new gift ideas year after year and when they have everything already. Went to church with family, had a great lunch with kids and husband.

    The kids and I celebrated by giving Dad a gift. Then he cooked using a manly dutch oven and grill (because he wants to cook what he wants to cook on Father’s Day). We enjoyed the fruits of his labor. Then we made him cookies and let him do anything he wanted all day long. We love the Dad!

    We hung out with my hubbies uncle (pretty much is his dad), it was bittersweet as his uncle has Lou Gehrig’s disease and this was probably his last father’s day. Very precious time with family.
