Tool Time GIVEAWAY!
11 January 2011
This Giveaway is closed!
Hey- this is actually me~ Remodelaholic.... or Cassity! How are you all? I am on a roll!We are having a tool giveaway.... Let me tell you a little bit about it!
Well, you all may not have ever taken a look into our garage... (if you have, you might be a bit appalled by the site- it is a work/storage mess zone) BUT if you got to sneak a peek, you would know that we are tool junkies.
There is no way of denying it.
We have a lot of tools... and many more on the wish list.
I am every bit as bad as Justin (my very own Mr. Remodelaholic himself), if we think a tool might save some time, we usually buy it. Because people we use these things all the time. And every time we use a tool that saves us time, we are thankful!
This "tool junky-ness" can be good- great even, and bad, because sometimes space is at a premium. So, when we are able to find a tool that is compact and multi functional we are all for it.
So, we were excited when Black and Decker contacted us to try out their Ratcheting ReadyWrench without a penny spent- we gained a new tool, just to try it out! SCORE! I love BLOGLAND!
This baby has 16 socket sizes in one... and you know you that in those big huge box sets, you always lose the one size you need or use the most. So, this is perfect for storage, use and convenience.
Here are some great ways to use this baby:
And I am sure that there are many more ways that you can find this tool useful.
Funny side note, just the other day my husbands friend was brain storming up a great idea for a tool. He was thinking about a wrench that would ratchet instead of take it off and adjusting it every time you had to turn the nut. This conversation was literally only weeks before we received this in the mail. How cool was that to be talking about it and then receiving it in the mail. If only I could do that with other things... I have a list..
We are always excited about single tools with multi functions. Instead of pulling out many different tools to find the right size how about grabbing one and only having one to put back.
Enter the giveaway and you will have the chance to will this all-in-one tool to try it for yourself FREE!!
Here are the simple rules.
You can leave up to three comments for this giveaway!!!
1. Leave a comment on this post about how you will use this tool.
2. Leave a comment with a link of your favorite project seen on Remodelaholic and copy the link in the comment box.
3. Leave a comment tell us what kind of projects you like seeing the most on Remodelaholic! (We will see if we can grant some wishes our self!)
Good Luck!
The giveaway will stay opened until Friday, January 14th at 5:00 PM CST.
The winner will be announced within a few days.
The giveaway is for participants in the Continental US only.
CLOSED!!
CLOSED!!

Actually, I should probably ask how my husband would be using this tool since he'll be the one using it, not me!
I actually got this for christmas... I think my husband has stolen it already.
We are about to change out our kitchen faucet with a new, prettier, more modern one. So, I have a feeling this tool would come in handy for that project!
My hubs has been doing a lot of work on our water system, so I'm sure he'd find this tool very handy for that job!

I love seeing kitchen re-dos. However, we live in a condo with a long narrow kitchen, so I would love to see some re-dos on smaller kitchens verses the wide-open kitchens, and hopefully borrow some ideas!
I would use it for this table I am getting ready to redo. It has those bolts everywhere and three of them different sizes.
ARFuller@cfl.rr.com
I really likes this super-AWESOME, super-inexpensive bathroom remodel:

There are all sorts of household things my hubby could be doing with more ease with his bad boy! Garage work, in the house fixer-uppers, you name it. :)
The posts that I tend to flock to are the budget remodels (and by budget, I mean cheap, cheap, cheap). Keep em' coming!
I love the variety of projects that I find on this site. But with so much always going on, I really appriciate the projects that can be done in a day or two to make my house a better place. :)
We will be remodeling our kitchen at the end of this year and I loved reading about the kitchen remodel from:
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/11/complete-kitchen-transformation-from.html
As I said above we will be redoing our kitchen so keep the kitchen ones coming. LOL
My hubby would love this...he actually wanted one for Christmas and didn't get it! AND I have no idea how to use it...he is the tool person in our house:)
My husband and I are renovating our 1966 house so this tool will definitely get plenty of use with all the projects that are coming up.
I love this bench redo: http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/08/little-bench-guest-remodel.html
and I also love that one of my projects was featured too:
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/07/entertainment-center-transformed-into.html
I have a very long to-do list but a pretty short budget. The wrench will probably be used on kiddos' bikes later this spring, adjusting for the growth since they were put away last fall. :)
I would love to have one of these! My cutting table loosens up periodically, it is always a pain to have to find my husbands wrachet set. This would be mine, all mine! :)
I love seeing trash to treasure type posts. They make me want to visit my local thrift store and find some treasures:)
http://www.remodelaholic.com/search/label/Built-ins
I loved this idea of gaining a little storage space! This was my favorite project because it made me think about the ways I could gain a little space like that in my house.
I would use this everyday...we always have something that needs to be tightened up or taken apart.

I really like all kinds of projects but I guess what I would really like to see more of would be kitchen and bathroom remodels done on a tight budget.
nettecan at hotmail dot com
I would keep this tool in my van/car for any roadside fix.
I will use it most for my bike. It is what ends up needing the most adjustments.
I love the quick crafts that can be done in a room. I am a student and can't structurally remodel my temporary living place. It is the quick crafts that add life to a room that catch my eye.
I have lots of favorites but one of the most recent is the teacup, teapot lamp. I have been seeing those for sale for big bucks and would love to try my hand at making my own. Maybe I will win this tool and use it on this project!!!

I am considering a bathroom remodel for the guest bathroom in my new home. I can't imagine all the use I would get out of this tool in that project!
I love, love, LOVE the mosiac art on this post. In fact, I made this for Christmas presents this year. http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/03/pieces-of-you-mosaic-pottery-barn.html
I enjoy every post, but this was my favorite.
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/12/television-media-center-diy-project.html
I enjoy reading instructive posts. Ones that show me how to refurbish or make my own piece of furniture. They have inspired me to take on a sewing desk refurb!
We would use it in our garage remodel for sure!
amyallen76 at gmail dot com
I would use it on the bunk beds I am making in March.
I fell in love with the kitchen in this post!
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/01/kitchen-designed-with-clear-vision.html
amyallen76 at gmail dot com
I was reading everyone else's favorite and so excited that my media cabinet is Shannon's favorite. Thanks!
I usually really enjoy the transformation of old furniture to something fresh and new.
I love all of the total room remodels, especially kitchens. I think kitchens age the fastest!
amyallen76 at gmail dot com
I would really like to see more on how to strip off finishes from previous owners. What products are good? How do you apply? Does it even work?
The first project I would use it on is making a new headboard for our bed
Between daughters and grandchildren, I am always needing my trusty toolbox. However, I don't have anything like this one and I really need it to keep 7 bikes up and going!!!
We are renovating an 1800s victorian home and have many many projects that I am sure this nifty tool will come in handy for!
I would love to try it out!
Smiles, Dolly
I'd give this to my husband, so I guess I'd have to ask him how he wants to use it. Hopefully for projects around the house for me. :)
http://www.remodelaholic.com/search/label/Ceilings
I looooove the beadboard ceiling make over! We have a popcorn ceiling in our kitchen {I hate popcorn ceilings} I think it would be wonderful to go over it with bead board instead of trying to scrap all that popcorn junk off!
Ceilings always get a bum wrap...they never get the attention they deserve!
Thank you
Dolly
I would love to see more before and afters....
and inexpensive home DIY projects!
Your site is so informative and inspirational! I have lots of your posts dog earred for future references! :-)
Hugs, Dolly
My current favorite post is this: http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/10/make-headboard-using-five-panel-door.html
I'm keeping an eye out for a 5 panel door to make my own!!
I would love this! I love my hubby dearly but it is sooo nice to have my own set of tools so I know where they are and I can learn them on my own!!!
My hubbie will be sooooo happy if I win this giveaway!!! Please pick meeeeee
http://www.remodelaholic.com/search/label/Bathrooms
i'm planning to remodel my son's bathroom and your posts will be very helpful!
My husband would love this for his projects. He fixes everything and always has a project going.
melindatoad@gmail.com
I always have something around my place that needs fixing/repairing. I need new faucets, I want to replace the windows with more energy efficient ones, we've got closet organizers to install as well as a ceiling fan to install. And hubby's birthday is January 24th, so even if I won this giveaway, it won't be in time for his birthday. So since he loves tools about as much as you and your hubby do, I'm going out to buy this baby right now! Well...as soon as all this snow disappears and I can actually drive on the roads. Yippee! I wanted to know what to buy, and THIS IS IT!!! dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
Ok as a chocolate junky who is no longer allowed to eat it, I loved the microwave hot lava cakes because my kids thought i was the coolest when I made them!

My favorite post? This one definitely!

dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
I'm sure I'll use it during the kitchen remodel!
No matter how many times I see furniture re-do posts, I never get it!! I've tried to paint furniture that I've stripped, and it ends up looking like dog doo-doo. I never get the finished product to look as good as all of the ones I see in blog-land. I'm a visual person, and all the photos help, but then I think "did I use the wrong kind of brush, should I have used the craft foam thingy, should I have spray painted (which is impossible for me because I live in a condominium, have no garage, and no permission to paint out on the "common area"). I've spent all this time and money on the furniture, and I'm so disappointed in the finished product. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
I can't think of just one project that I would use this for. The first thing to come to mind would be the bed I am going to make for my son. I am putting big bolts in it so this would make that work a snap.
http://www.remodelaholic.com/search/label/Welding
Maybe because I have always wanted to learn how to weld.
I would like to see more inexpensive out of the ordinary storage and organizing ideas.
This looks like a tool that would be so useful. I like that it is a lot of tools in one. Would love to win !!
We're in the middle of a whole-home renovation (we're living in one small completed area of the house), so there are hundreds of uses for that tool around here. Especially since my hubby is good at taking things like wrenches and ratchet sockets OUT of the toolbox but is not very good at putting them back IN the toolbox. I might keep this tied around my neck so he doesn't misplace it.
It would be easier to ask where you wouldn't be using this tool...Oh my this is great that it just tighten's down on project you are working on...I would use it everywhere kitchen sink, cars, oh my too many places to list to use it. lynn
I would love having this tool as I am always hearing my husband complain about not having the right size blah blah blah, I'd love to whip this out & say try this one dear....
My hubby would love this!
tkcharlesworth@aol.com
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/01/old-barn-door-recycled-into-kitchen.html
Of late this is one of my favorite projects, I tell you this was a hard one to choose. I read remodelaholic every day and I even created a folder in my email to keep all of the ones I like which there aren't very many that I can't use. thanks keep up the good work lynn
What a great little tool. I am sure my husband would love this for one of his many projects. He just finished organizing the garage with all of his tools. Whenever he is missing, I know right where to look! Thanks for the giveaway!!
That looks like a great tool that I need for my pink toolbox!
Looks like a great tool! Not sure yet what I would use it for, but I'm sure there's a project in my future.... Thanks for the great giveaway! :)
I love the furniture makeovers and furniture pieces made from other things,like the headboard from a door. Great ideas!
My favorite recent post has to be Megan's kitchen: http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/01/kitchen-designed-with-clear-vision.html
I follow her blog, too, so I'd seen it before, but I never seem to tire of that beautiful kitchen!
My favorite types of posts are the ones that actually REMODEL a room or house. I know people love painting furniture, but there are only so many times I can see a reupholstered and spray painted dining chair and get excited about it!
I would use it to put my baby's crib together! And then hand it to my husband for all the projects he does for me.
I would use this tool for making a pergola and swingset.
I would use this for eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverything!!!
I would LOVE this tool for my work. I work in a nursing home in the rehabilitation department and I al FOREVER re-adjusting wheelchairs for elderly people to be comfortable and support their independence. we have a "toolbox" thats mostly filled with junk and a ratchet like this would solve all the problems by trying to find the right size! ALSO it would save a lot of time and energy for me because it's self ratcheting....although it does give me muscles! hehe
Jenn
I would love to add this tool to my collection. Remodeling the bathroom is my list to do's.
This post gives me inspiration to start my bathroom redo http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/12/creating-beautiful-storage-space-within.html
Well, I am not sure exactly how I will use that tool. But, I can think of a 100 ways to have my lovely husband use it!! :)
Ok 1st - I would be using the tool by blessing my hubby with it for his birthday at the end of this month. :)
2nd - This is my ALL TIME FAVORITOUS (is that a word? LOL) post as I emailed it to myself and made it this morning...it was SCRUMP-del-i-isious!!!
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/01/quick-microwave-pudding-cakes-recipe.html
ps. Got 1 mug left for tomorrow too...took everything in me to NOT eat it today too!!! :)
Lastly, furniture re-do's or room remodels are my favorite...although none of those can beat that microwave chocolate pudding cake!!!
I've built some workshop stuff with bolts (sawhorses, router table) and this tool would work great for making adjustments! Not to mention all the kids trikes, bikes, etc.
My husband would use this to put in my new garbage disposal, it's on my dream sheet :)
I loved (and bookmarked) the Pottery Barn inspired pillows tutorial!
I love it all, but especially furniture building, furniture refinishing, room redos, wall treatments, crafts...
I would use this tool most everyday. Especially during the first few days where I will probably wander about looking for things to tighten! :)
Um, just one? How about my most recent obsession? The plywood plank floor from the other day!!! I keep looking at it over and over and conspiring on where I could do it in my house!
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/01/amazing-plank-look-plywood-flooring.html
And, I really just love your blog! I would like to see more garage/workshop makeovers and some playrooms or spaces! :)
OM Gosh! I've been wanting to "take apart" and re-assemble a daybed given to me ages ago. This tool would be perfect for creating the recycled daybed-to-bench I have envisioned!
I would use this tool as a wonderful gift for my wonderful husband, lol!
hockman1(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
I would use this tool to repair our fence and do some maintenance on our lawnmower for starters... It looks like a tool I HAVE to have! :)
Semalee @ Nailing Jello to a Tree
I like the posts about the smaller remodeling projects because that is more my size of projects :)
Semalee @ Nailing Jello to a Tree
Honestly...just ONE favorite project?? I can't name just one, but I did just get a Silhouette and I'm currently working on pics for my newly painted Family Room. Soooo....this is my most recent fav:
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/09/silhouette-art-picture-tutorial.html
hockman1(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
I would love to see more projects using the Silhouette SD. I just got one, and I'm learning how to use it. Any ideas/tutorials would be so helpful...especially for pics or ways to decorate lonely, empty walls, lol.
hockman1(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
My busband is always working on the lawn mower, so this would be perfect. I'd share it with him!
My dad got this for Christmas and my husband was drooling over it! He actually said last week that he might try and save up for it (we're on a very tight budget).
I have to say that I love this blog because of all the diversity. I log on every day (yes every day) and I love that I never know what type of project I'm going to see. However I love re-projecting unexpected things into furniture, so I love seeing people paint and reupholster (or turn a barn door into a table!).
Krista @ adventuresoflukeandkrista.blogspot.com
My husband would be the one using it most haha - it would be nice to keep in the basement where he is doing a lot of projects, instead of hauling all the stuff from the garage!
One favorite post?! That is hard! I do love this: http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/10/update-your-old-kitchen-to-white.html because it shows a white kitchen with white appliances - and very detailed steps on the paiting. I want to paint mine but I'm afraid, and I have white appliances my husband will NOT replace!
I would love to see some ideas for finishing a basement - on a very tight budget! :)
We could certainly use a tool like this! I have several sets of rachets with missing pieces. This would come in handy all over the house, esp. in assembling furniture!
Love this tutorial about creating an easy art piece
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/03/pieces-of-you-mosaic-pottery-barn.html
I am planning on doing this with the kids!
I enjoy seeing practical ways to improve the look of the home, projects like bumping up the base moulding. So cool!
This is my favorite post. I see one of these in my near future!
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/10/make-headboard-using-five-panel-door.html
I have a few different furniture/appliances that constantly need adjusting around the house. I'll use it for that!
I like seeing room remodels with step by step info.
Not having a very motivated handy hubs, I'm learning stuff on my own, so I'm sure I'd find a use for it soon. If anything, I could have used it when putting together *Santa's* bikes he left for my 3 older kiddos;).
I'd love to see more tutorials on how to do things, like how to measure, cut and attach moldings. How to refinish furniture. How to get a *factory finish* with paint. Etc.
I'm not the tool savvy one in our household but I have a feeling this will come in handy when we change out the utility tub in our laundry closet.
My favorite Remodelaholic post at the moment is the plywood floor tutorial. We've been looking at flooring options since we bought our house 8 months ago. Yet everything out there is so out of our price range that we just about gave up hope. But this tutorial rejuvenated our spirits!
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/01/amazing-plank-look-plywood-flooring.html
I"d keep this in my car so i can take apart things i buy off CL or thrift stores and need to fit in my car!
I enjoy seeing tutorials. Instructions really make me feel confident that I can complete a project.
I would give this to my hubby so he can get rid of some of the hand-me-down tools that are scattered around our garage...
My favorite projects you guys do are the ones that show me how easy some of the daunting home improvement tasks are. I have a tendency to say (out loud mind you): hey, I could do that!
I'm now a single Mom and find myself with no tools. The first thing I'd use it on is changing the (rusted) outside faucet so that I can actually use a hose to water the plants again! :)
I would use this tool for everything! I would totally get rid of our huge/bulky sets so we can make room for cooler stuff like this!
aearce2000@hotmail.com
My favorite projects are remodels/redecorating. It helps give me ideas of what to do with my own house.
aearce2000@hotmail.com
I am in need of a headboard, and this is just perfect:
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/03/head-of-board-headboard-tutorial.html
I think my favorite project so far has been the House of Smith's pantry. I can't find the link for some reason, and I bookmarked it from their site directly, but I'm sure this was the first place I saw it!
aearce2000@hotmail.com
My favorite posts are those that show repurposing items (like making the headboard), or refinishing items to make them look amazing. Thanks so much for the inspiration! :)
I have been reading DIY blogs gallore getting the guts and know-how to "do it [my]self." I've got so many projects on the list and practically no tools :( Just starting a family (wife, 2 yr old and 9 month old) and a new home (well 2 years in a 35 year old house) a tool like this would be a Godsend!
I would use it to take apart my kitchen table to paint...if I ever get the courage to actually paint it!
I would use it to take apart the chairs that we need to redo, and help when we redo our staircase!
My favorite project is definitely the one on how to increase the size of baseboards!
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/01/mold-your-character-upstairs-bathroom.html
And I can't wait to see the redone entryway!!!
I like how to DIY home improvements and I also like the knock-off accessories.
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/12/beautiful-kids-play-kitchen-by-crafting.html
This is one of my favorite posts! I love building things and this was a perfect post!
I really like the DIY decorating the home. I am horrible and decorating and need some more help..
I would check everything inside the house...bunkbeds, tables, chairs. Maybe, just maybe I would let my husband try it :)
i like the furniture fix ups...only because we currently in a rental and I can't do anything to the bones of this house.
As a newly single gal, this is the tool for me! I am quickly venturing into the DIY & Home repair world and with it comes learning to use tools. This tool seems perfect; it can help with just about anything, it won't overload my first (& feminine toolbox); and it won't overload me with complicated instructions. And my last name is "Reddy". I told you it was perfect. My first project with this is to tighten up the rickety work bench so I can continue my DIY list.
My favourite post... too many to mention, but as I'm venturing into the DIY world, the posts on tools are invaluable! Thanks for this great site.
The posts I like to see are the kitchen remodels. I need a kitchen remodel in the worst way and the eye candy in this blog is gonna cost me a lot of money or a lot of sweat & time!
We have our eye on a particular foreclosure that is in need of some TLC. What wouldn't I use this tool on!?
These bathroom built ins are one of my favorites! Such a brilliant way to get a bit of space in a tight room.
http://www.remodelaholic.com/2010/12/creating-beautiful-storage-space-within.html
I really like your posts about building and re-doing furniture.
http://www.remodelaholic.com/search/label/Patios
I really like your posts about patios.
I just moved so I would use this to put together my new home.
I would use the Ready Wrench for all those projects that I've asked my husband to do that he hasn't gotten around to. It looks easier enough for me to use!
I'm sure it'll come in handy on our new home!
We have a big set that can be cumbersome. I would love to have it all in one for quick fixes around the house, instead on lugging around our huge case
