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).

I need a good saw to do all the projects I have in my mind!
Darbi says
TOOL ME!!
We are new home owners so we need EVERYTHING!
Dina says
Tool me!
It’s finally time to get a kreg jig! The first project will be a banquette bench, then an entry table, then some floating shelves, then about 100 more things in a new house.
Janelle @ Two Cups of Happy says
Tool me! I wish I had ROOM for a sewing machine. I feel like buying fabric & making curtains, pillow covers etc. would be much cheaper.
Allyson N. says
Tool Me! Circular saw for my husband!
Christa says
TOOL ME!!
I’d love that tool you guys used to make putting up crown molding so easy. We did it the hard way in our powder room and it’s all messed up and only 1/2 of it is actually hanging up. We need to figure out a way to fix our DIY disaster.
Britt says
Tool me!
A circular saw would be lovely before our nursery project this summer :)
Cinamon says
TOOL ME – Tile saw so I can do some backsplash.
Sarah Jessica Farber says
Tool me! I’d love a nail gun.

Clara says
TOOL ME! I am in need of a quality sander or paint sprayer, I have some old furniture I am ready to redo.
Laurie says
TOOL ME
I pneumatic nail gun. Want. Bad.

TOOL ME!
I could really use a better saw – and a larger house for it to live in!
Christy says
Tool Me! Either a new trimmer/edger, or a pruning saw, or a new 100′ hose, or the things I need to turn my cordless screwdriver into a cordless drill, or a new lawn mower!
Katy says
TOOL ME!! Please!
I’d love quality painting supplies or a sewing machine!
Nichole says
Tool me! Actually, appliance me! I want some new appliances! :)

Aimee says
Tool me. Our list is probably as long as yours :o)

Meredith says
TOOL ME
We’re about to move into a new ranch that is COVERED in wallpaper – so a wallpaper steamer/remover would be much appreciate. And probably some extra paint supplies, too!
Jonelle L. says
TOOL ME!
I’ve got several tools that i’ve been dreaming of. Is it normal to dream of tools? The top of my list is definitely a compound miter saw.
Halima says
Tool Me! We desperately need a lawnmower. We have owned our house for 1.5 years and have never been able to cut our own grass
Stephanie says
TOOL ME!!
Honestly, I don’t even know what tool we need to start making our house a home. We need to paint, hang decorations, etc. So probably just the basic necessities that newlyweds need! :)
Jen says
Tool me! Sadly, I am a first time apartment dweller so I need a lot of starter tools!

TOOL ME! What I need more than anything is space to actually put all the tools I want to buy :-)

TOOL ME!
Nail gun… For molding in our house we move into THIS MONTH!
Mike Thompson says
TOOL ME! I need an impact driver (DeWalt) or a nail gun to complete a crown moulding project. A gift card from Lowe’s would come in handy, certainly.
Amy says
TOOL ME! I’d love the stuff for crown molding – talking about doing that at my house, my mom’s, and my brother’s! :)
Mary Beth says
TOOL ME!
My husband would go nuts buying tools. He always has his eye on some new thing!
feep says
TOOL ME! Just one? I need a new drill, a nail gun, and a miter saw. My wife would be pretty happy if I could get an entrance way done and crown molding put up.
Sarah Jessica Farber says
TOOL ME! How about a Dremel tool? Those things look cool.

TOOL ME!
We need everything! We just bought our first home and have nothing but a flthead screw driver! :P

Heather says
TOOL ME! Oh my, I would love a saw to be able to cut wood myself, but I live in an apartment so it wouldn’t be practical, an electric drill or nail gun would be helpful though.
Aimée says
TOOL Me!
I had to leave behind my beloved toolkit when I moved back to Canada from the UK so other than a basic hammer, screwdriver and measuring tape(!) I need THE LOT!!

Rachel says
TOOL ME! I hardly own more than a hammer and nails so I could use this. :)
Meredith says
TOOL ME
We’re about to move into a new ranch that is COVERED in wallpaper – so a wallpaper steamer/remover would be much appreciated. And probably some extra paint supplies, too!
Kali says

Yes, yes and yes! Although that would mean we’d actually have to tackle some projects!
