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).

Not a bad way to ring in April, right?

I would love a palm sander so I can finally tackle some long overdue projects!
Rachel says
TOOL ME!
Any kind of electric saw . . . please.
graduateliving says
TOOL ME!
I live in an apartment, so my use of “tools” is next to nil (hooray for helpful landlords!), but my parents are constantly tackling projects in their ENORMOUS backyard. I’d love to be able to kick in a few (or $500!) bucks to help.
Christine says
Tool Me! I would love to get a Kreg jig to use for building a farm table. A portable air compressor would be nice to have too! :)
Michaela says
TOOL ME! No tools, but storm doors instead. Nice pretty ones.
Brynne says
TOOL ME… A tile saw, we have 2 bathrooms to renovate!
Emily says
TOOL ME! I actually need a tool bench & pegboard more than anything – I can never find the right tools when I need them!
Angela says
TOOL ME! I need a router!
Amanda B. says
TOOL ME
We are short on tools, but in particular we would like to have an edger to make the outside look nice. And a table saw would be great to have as well.
Tool Me says
TOOL ME!
We want to build our own kitchen cabinets so there are tons of tools and supplies on our wishlist right now!
Terri says
TOOL ME! Our tool chest has the basics like hammers and screwdrivers. It would be great to venture into the power tool world. I’m thinking a great drill and circular saw for starters.
Wrenaria says
TOOL ME! I very much need a new drill. Mine’s useless.
Lynzee S says
TOOL ME! Double drive ratchet set, please
Jessica says
TOOL ME!!!
We’re currently refinishing the original hardwood floors in our 63 year old house! And soon after that, painting the walls and making our own molding around the floors and doors! We can definitely use some stain, paint, and wood!
Barbara says
TOOL ME!!
I need an oscillating saw!!! Whole house!
Abigail Martin says
TOOL ME!
Nail gun all the way. Board and Batten for the dining room will go up so much easier! Then if there is extra, indoor paint sprayer, landscaping materials…oh $500 could go a long way!
Helen D says
Tool me!! A tile wet saw would be top of my list, then we can start on the bathroom upgrade!
Steph says
“TOOL ME”
I would say I’d like either a jigsaw for a Ana White bookcase I want to build for my daughters room. Or a stud finder, lets be honest it would make life a lot easier in a lot of ways.
As for the 500$, it will go a long way with helping me tile my kitchen back splash and fireplace.
;)
Begen says
TOOL ME~!!!!!
I want to get those short paintbrushes that Sherry uses, I tend to get hand cramps ten minutes into painting and I want to repaint my computer desk!
Stephanie says
TOOL ME!!! We are tearing out some walls in our house this week. So a saws-all would be great! :)
Courtney says
TOOL ME!!!
I need a nail gun!

Helen D says
Tool me!! A tile wet saw would be top of my list, then we can start on the bathroom upgrade! It’s saying dupe comment! Sorry if it is :)
Ethel says
Yay! Tools! My husband would say a drill press!
Kellie R. says
TOOL ME!
I would LOVE to surprise my hubby with a miter saw and a nail gun. He would die! We really want to tackle the our crown moulding via your inspiring post. We can totally do it right?
Allison says
Tool me! I’m ready to start a new adventure – bookshelves! A circular saw would be very handy.

A palm sander to refinish the entertainment unit .. Or a laser level to paint some stripes!

I’ve been ogling miter saws since I saw your last post about crown molding and decided I need some too.

TOOL ME!
I would love just a basic drill with a pilot bit. Every time I have to screw an anchor into our horrible plaster walls, I wish I had one!
Lauren says
TOOL ME!
Your board and batten project was very inspiring!
Meredith says
Tool me! Based on your tutorials, I think we could really use a kreg jig!!
Mary says
TOOL ME!!! I just saw an excellent looking paint trimming tool, and since I don’t have the same skills as Sherry, I think I’ll need when I redo our powder room this month!
Gina Forsgren says
TOOL ME!
We’re thinking an air nail gun like yours is pretty amazing.
Thanks!

Leslie Wallace says
Tool me please!!! I need some things to start a garden!
Joanne B. says
TOOL ME! Puh-leeze! I would so give this to my too-handy-for-his-own-good husband! I am always coming up with ideas for projects for him and he has quite a few tools in his arsenal, but we refer to HD and Lowe’s as his “mistresses” and he can always use more tools! He loves them both and often cheats on one with the other, as he shops for supplies my latest idea! Thanks for this chance!
