Well the lucky April fool, er, person who’s getting the $500 gift card to the home improvement store of their choosing – all thanks to Hometalk! – is… Rebecca (who says she and her husband really need a router table to change out some non-functional kitchen cabinets). Congrats!
Nope, this isn’t a joke. Someone somewhere in the world is gonna win $500 this week, and it’s all thanks to Hometalk. It’s a free community where DIYers and pros can exchange projects and advice, which makes it a great spot to discover new ideas (everything from major remodels to easy cleaning tips pop up). The photo-centric boards make browsing for inspiration a breeze and connecting with the creator is just as easy. And since Hometalk is all about helping you tackle our next project, they want to give you the right tools – which is why they’re serving up a $500 gift card to your favorite home improvement store (be it Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears or something else). Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

TOOL ME! I have been wanting a portable air compressor. I have an old behemoth in the garage and a 50 foot air hose that reaches most projects in the house. Oh the ability to be able to carry it with me!
Samantha says
TOOL ME!
I’ve actually been longing for a craft cutter like a cricut or silhouette. Not your typical DIY tool but I think it would be awesome to make custom painting stencils and wall decals!
Tiffany says
TOOL ME guest bath needs work!

TOOL ME!
I really need a circular saw to make the cuts for some flooring and crown molding!
abbey says
TOOL ME! There are so many tools that we could use, although I am expescially wanting a staple gun at the moment. As for projects, we are getting a new sliding door soon but I don’t think the staple gun would come in handy for that :)

TOOL ME!!! I seem to have a never ending list of things to do since we moved into our house (2 years ago!) Currently, I want to add the board and batten to our hallway, very similar to how you did yours. I did get to cross “dining room light fixture” off the list this weekend….thanks to the hubby!
Lauren says
TOOL ME! We could really use a new…everything!
Pat says
Tool Me! I could use a palm sander for some furniture makeovers I have planned. I could also use a Kreg jig for assorted projects and a nail gun to add some chair rail and crown molding to our living/dining area.

Tool me! Gosh, we need just about everything! We’ve been bumming tools from my in-laws for years since they live next door, but now they are moving to a new house (probably to get away from our sticky fingers). I guess we need to buy our own tools like real adults.

We’re honestly in need of most everything! Preferably a chop saw or jig saw! For the past 2yrs of home-ownership we’ve been borrowing from my dad and slowly stealing some of his smaller stuff… hammer, wrench, paint brushes,etc… i think it’s time we get some of our own stuff and stop stealing from him! :)

TOOL ME! I’m not sure what tool I want — maybe a Dremel, or possibly a wet saw.
