Giveaway Gold: Obi-Wan RYOBI

July 27, 2011

When RYOBI caught word that we were having issues with our drill a few weeks back, they were happy to help us understand how a drill should work. In true Jedi fashion, Ryobi promised to hold up infinitely better than our drill and that it wouldn't stop when it hit a stud like our current drill did. What?! Could it be true!? A duel between the two is in the works, my friends. Although, I already know how it is gonna end. But those details are for a different post. *cue Star Wars theme*

Good news, RYOBI also wants to hand over a drill kit to one of our readers. Woot.

This Ryobi 18 Volt One+ Drill Kit includes a sa-weet cordless drill, two 18-volt Ni-Cad One+ batteries and a 1-hour diagnostic charger, and a handy bag to carry it/store it all in. The drill itself has a 1/2 in. single-sleeve keyless chuck with spindle lock for easy bit changing and 2-speed transmission and 24-position clutch for high-torque applications. It features a 1,600 RPM speed with variable speed settings to accommodate each job you tackle.

Sounds legit, right? You be the judge.

The Nitty Gritty--

Prize: One RYOBI 18v Drill Kit (the one featured right here valued at $92)

Number of Winners: One lucky stud/ette.

To Enter: Leave a comment with the phrase "Help Me Obi-Wan RYOBI" and let us know any future project you would love to use this drill for. For instance, I can't wait to tackle some sort of entertainment center in our family room with ease. (Yikes. We have had a cardboard box blocking cables for nearly 4 months now.) Don't forget to leave your email address so we can get ahold of you if you win!

Details: Prize ships to anywhere in the United States. Giveaway closes Thursday, August 4th at 9pm MST. Only one entry per person. The winner will be chosen using Random.org and announced on Friday, August 5th.

Good luck...eerrrr...may the force be with you.

  1. Help Me Obi-Wan RYOBI--please!! :) I would have my hubby use this to build some shelves for us in our storage space...it would be so nice to have our things in there organized a bit better! More specifically, I could store the vintage treasures I buy for my etsy shop more safely--and perhaps then be able to buy more! ;)

  12. Help Me Obi-Wan RYOBI! We just moved from Texas into a basement apartment here in Utah and were given permission to build shelving in all the closets but our old drill died (and was a really bad purchase to begin with).

  47. Help Me Obi-Wan RYOBI!!! I am a huge animal lover and love to rescue dogs. I am actually in the process of starting a chapter of the Humane Society in my parish, but for now I do what I can and keep most of them with me and/or in my house. My little sis is in the Navy. When she was in school in FL she rescued a pit bull (brindle colored and beautiful) from some people who had had puppies and were selling them. This one was four months old and they couldn't sell him because he was missing a toenail. My sister took him because the people couldn't make money off of him so they weren't giving him his shots or feeding him well or at all that we could tell. I went to pick her up as she had sold her car while she was there too. Long story a little bit shorter, I ended up with him since she was being stationed in CA. We had brand new furniture he ate, yep he ate it. And he ate a hole in my bedroom door, as well as ate most of my dining room table. We are moving to the country when my daughter graduates high school in two years so I can have more dogs and they can run free. Until then we are living in a half eaten house that we really need to fix. Lol. This would help us greatly. Thanks for the chance.

    lewalk(at)hotmail(dot)com

    P.S. Max, the pit, has since calmed down. He's three years old now. He is the best, sweetest, most loving dog I have. The vet told me it was nurture not nature and I believe it. We have loved him and he loves us and everyone else now.

Or at least I could build a shallow pantry shelf for our tiny kitchen, a coffee table, or build a new bookshelf or two (ours are just... pathetic).

It took me all day just to hang 3 shelves. I gave up and haven't gone back to it. I still need to build the desk base (shelves for craft paper) a ribbon picture frame box, hang 6 more shelves and create desk supports. I have all sorts of projects that a good drill could make a lot easier and that I would probably tackle if I knew I didn't have to fight with the old (not even cordless, no power) drill.
    P.S. My husbands 30th birthday is the 6th and his present is me building him new book shelves, YIKES! New drill could help that present actually come to life.

  150. Help Me Obi-Wan RYOBI!! We have a ton of projects where this would come in handy. The two biggest projects are a complete remodel of our master bathroom and replacing the kitchen counter with tile.

  163. Help Me Obi-Wan RYOBI! Soooo many projects and bottom line is that I would love to have MY OWN drill so I can stop searching for the crap that goes with my husband's drill and so he can ask me to use MY cool drill instead.
