Thursday, September 29, 2011 Impactful Giveaway!
***This giveaway is now closed!***
It's day #4 of amazing giveaways sponsored by Stack Exchange and their Home Improvement vertical over here at Making a House a Home! We have been having such a good time reading all your entries! If you have been missing out, join the fun and check out the other giveaways going on right now here, here, and here! Pretty sweet for you DIY folk!
Today we have a pretty sweet "wish list" tool we don't actually own yet. After much debate and research we have decided we need not only a corded screwdriver, a cordless screwdriver, but also we need an impact driver. Here is why. Torque. You know, that thing car salesmen push when trying to get you into that sporty car instead of the sedan. Yep, to us torque is magic, it's umph. It's a secret power. Secret power is awesome when you have power tools.
Plus I think it's cute because it's smaller and less clumsy looking than a screwdriver. Don't mind me. It's 4:22am. You would start to think power tools were looking cute too at this hour!

I would love an impact driver. I would be great to mix my thin-set for my tile project.
Well... we've been putting off just about everything. We're in the process of buying a home right now (we've been renting for the last 10 years.) and if we get it it's going to need a lot of work. I

I have a privacy fence that is in need of a lot of attention. A cordless drill would do the trick! Lacking in the electrical cords to do the job with the cord drill.

Hope this giveaway is over Wednesday October 5th not Tuesday October 4th...but in the hopes it's the first one - a impact tool would be perfect for building something really sturdy like a picnic table...would love to give that a try.
