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).

Laura K says
Tool me! Yard tools for sure!
Anna says
TOOL ME!
I would love a miter saw, which I am sure will come in handy for many projects, as we are trying to buy a fixer-upper…
Amanda says
TOOL ME! I think I’d start with paint and then maybe get some closet organization! :)
Jenny says
Tool me.
We’re in need of a sewing machine or a nice saw. I sew everything by hand at the moment and things would go a lot faster if I had a sewing machine. And my husband could get to do lots of the fun projects I have in mind if we had a new saw, haha. ^_^
Kasie says
TOOL ME!
Sander– We are currently re-doing a dresser for our nursery and this would make our life a lot easier!!

Tool me! We really need a chainsaw to do some tree work. We had really bad storms this winter and many of our branches are down or partially down.
Shannon says
Tool me! I would love a paint sprayer for various painting projects in our new house!

I need a nail gun, and to completely gut my kitchen…..

TOOL ME! A table saw for building furniture!

Claire says
TOOL ME! I really want a nail gun or a power washer…
Caitlin Davidson says
Tool me! As soon as I saw that I knew I wanted a nail gun because I’d like to put up picture moldings in a few rooms. How did you know!?!?
Melissa says
Tool me, please!
We’d love to be able to redo our main bathroom. A tile cutter would be a very handy piece of equipment to add to our collection.
Rebecca G. says
TOOL ME! I would love a sewing machine so that I can finally make a quilt with all of the fabric I’ve been collecting. My husband’s tool wish list is endless, however… luckily we have some pretty nice dads to borrow from. :)
Carolyn says
Tool Me!
Would love to build a garden this summer! Also have a little one on the way so I’m sure we’ll be doing some updates to things!
Keilan M says

Tool Me!!
I am lusting after a nail gun!!

Mariah S. says
Tool Me!
Tirsa says
Tool Me!
I would love to get an extend and climb telescoping ladder so that I can just paint the hallway without depending on DH or “borrowing” one from the contractor who worked on our house.
Rebecca M says
I think a jig would be awesome!
Cindy says
Tool me!
I would love a spray painter, a nail gun or a miter saw.
Kippen says
TOOL ME!
We have been wanting to paint our kitchen cabinets and do a new tile backsplash..this would be awesome!
Sara says
TOOL ME! I would love a new saw… I have been eying both a miter saw and a table saw, but I don’t know which one I need more. I think the table saw would probably be the better bet right now… Most of our projects would be SO much easier if we had one. The next project is to build a platform for our washer and dryer to sit on with drawers underneath for our shoes… The laundry room is a little cramped as is.
Ash says
TOOL ME!…a table saw would be amazeballs! My boyfriend has been drooling over a Ridgid table saw for months now. We have so many outdoor reno projects on the go for this spring and summer, acquiring a table saw instead of borrowing my dad’s table saw would make life so much easier!
Chip says
Tool Me! I’m needing a wet saw these days.
Kelly says
Tool me! I would love a table saw!
Tracy says
Tool me! I want a kreg jig and miter saw! After watching you guys use it so often I’ve decided I need one. I’ve been wanting to tackle making some furniture (mainly a farmhouse dining table and a media cabinet) and a kreg is essential!
Meredith says
TOOL ME!!…I’d love some new gardening tools…is it too late for that spring garden?
Erin says
TOOL ME!
We need to beef up our tool arsenal for all of our future home repair projects!
Denise says
Tool me!!! I hope there is a tile saw in my future!!
Megan says
Tool Me!
I have heard a nail gun is nice . . .
Sydney says

Abby says
TOOL ME! I would love to have my hubby install crown molding throughout our house. I already sent him your tutorial. :)
MichelleR says
TOOL ME!! We desperately need a new air compressor. Our current one is on it’s last leg and I have lots of projects in mind that require use of a nail gun!
Erin says
Tool me!
I’d love to buy a nail gun, especially since you guys have been singing the praises of yours!
Texas Fi says
TOOL ME! We are in the process of buying our first house! I own a flowered hammer that has screwdriver attachments inside the handle. I guess what I’m trying to say is we could probably use everything and anything from a ladder to a nail gun. We are starting at a floral embellished hammer.
Amy A says
Tool Me! I want a compound miter saw! I’m under contract on a new house with lots of projects!
Jane Nelson says
TOOL ME! I’d love a Kreg Jig – I don’t even know what I would build with it yet, but I’m sure once I have it the creative juices will start flowing!
nat says
Tool Me! I’d add some closet organizers, upgrade the ceiling light fixtures, paint the baby’s room, pretty up the front yard… I could do a lot with $500!!
Cindy O. says
TOOL ME! I want to tear out my pantry and redo it with cabinets.

Tool Me! – A paint sprayer would be awesome!! And I’m sure my hubby would love a table saw. :)
Emily F. says
Tool me! We need some new yard tools this year, for sure! Our yard needs some TLC after our addition was put on this fall. You would think the trucks and equipment brought in would go in and out on one side of the house but, oh no, they had to go all the way AROUND the house, leaving muddy truck tracks in a lovely semi circle around the house.
sarah says
TOOL ME……we are dreaming of a nail gun and a mitre saw….we are getting ready to tackle board and batten in the upstairs bath. (the cheater way like you did the hall) :)
Sally says
Tool Me! I need to complete all my half-finished projects…a paint sprayer & a tile cutter would be a great start.
