Friday, September 30, 2011 We All Need a Good Drill - Giveaway!
***This giveaway is now closed!***
Hello! Happy Friday Lovlies! Today is a very exciting day! Stack Exchange is hosting their final giveaway of the week and this time there are two winners! And it's a good one! We got a drill, a corded Ryobi with the intent it would be more powerful because it was plugged in. Boy did we learn our lesson right quick. A quality cordless drill is super necessary if you are a DIYer. Trust.
Sometimes the cord doesn't work in situations like when you are on a ladder or live in an old house like us when the code didn't require as many outlets as "modern" homes now do. It's a safety hazard people. I 'am not dissing the corded drill, I mean it never runs out of power and that's kinda awesome. We just feel you need both. It's done us well.
So, how can you get your hands on one of our most favorite things? If you want to be nice, hop over to the drill questions and answers on Stack Exchange, and ask or answer a question. This is like a $400 drill, so we thought we would ask for a little extra credit for this one. It's not required, but it would be oh so awesome if you did.
Thanks to Stack Exchange for an exciting week of giveaways! Don't forget to check them all out!

Cordless drills are the best! Ours is old and the battery is on it's last leg. We NEED this!
I tweeted!! Wish me luck!!!
Cordless for everything but a few instances when you need extra power.
Cordless! We could use a new one and who knows I might even learn how to use it :)You two have had such awesome giveaways this week! xo. Krishann
I would love this!

tweeted!!

cordless! :)
Cordless all the way!
I'm definately a cordless person!

O definitely cordless. For me definitely cordless. But that's for 'small-ish' things around the house. So its perfect for convenience. But for power? Corded.
cordless is much more convenient because you do not have to worry about tripping over wires!
Cordless for sure except when the battery runs out and we cannot find the charger!
I love the power of corded drills, but that's because I have a wimpy cordless drill.
Cordless... can't beat the versatility.
Cordless all the way! I'm klutzy and always find a way to get tangled in a cord.
Definitely cordless...who wants to be attached to a wall when playing with powertools?!
Definitely cordless. For the majority of my project an 18V cordless does the trick.
Until last weekend, I would have said cordless all the way. But my poor drill couldn't handle the workload of putting together a compost bin, so now I'd say corded or a more powerful cordless!
I MUCH prefer cordless....so handy to transport all over our two-story house, which was built over a 100 years ago so has a strange lack of sockets for corded use.
I love cordless for the ease of use!
Gots to be CORDLESS!!! clumsy DIYer for sure!
I'm a fan of the cordless, as long as I have an extra battery pack on board.
Cordless all the way! And mine is in desperate need of replacing.
