Tool Giveaway with The Home Depot

Tool Giveaway with The Home Depot

Free Tools?

Who doesn’t love free tools? Earlier this year I started a deal with The Home Depot (Home Depot MotorSports). They send me a few tools once a quarter, and I check them out and review them what makes sense for Humble Mechanic. One of the main reasons I did this deal was to hook you guys up. I spent the last 15 plus years collecting tools for fixing cars, and for working around the house. Needless to say, I have a lot of tools. This deal with Home Depot gives me the chance to check out some stuff, and then give it away.

The Tools:

Here is more about the tools for this giveaway including links to The Home Depot

Husky Screwdriver Set (15 piece)

Husky Screwdriver Set (15 piece)

I bought this set of screwdrivers a while back. They have held up really well. They are strong, chemical resistant, and have a lifetime warranty. The set includes 8 flat blade, and 7 Phillips head screwdrivers and retails for $29.97 plus tax. There may or may not be a VW running around with a shift knob made from a handle of one of these screwdrivers. The package was opened to take photos.

Ridgid Brushless 18v Drywall Screwgun Kit 

Ridgid Brushless 18v Drywall Screwgun Kit 

As a mechanic I don’t really think I am qualified to properly review this tool. Doing drywall work is something I have done before. Today I am happy to pay someone else to do this stuff. This tool does allow Push-to-Drive for less noise and more run time. It also includes the collated attachment, 2 batteries, a charger, and a carry bag. I really do wish I had a use for this tool. The packaging was opened for photos

 

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Compact Inflator 

Milwaukee M12 Cordless Compact Inflator

I am going to be blunt here, the only reason I am giving this away is because I have one. And even with that I kinda want to keep it. This inflator is awesome! I use it all the time around the house. I toss it in the R32 for road trips. I also bring it to autoX events to set tires properly. It comes with attachments to inflate sports balls, and my kid’s giant beach ball. This one comes with 1 M12 battery. If you are not using the M12 platform you will need a charger. This tools was opened for pictures and used 2 times. The battery is not opened

Makita Sub-Compact Brushless Recipro Saw (tool only)

Makita Sub-Compact Brushless Recipro Saw (tool only)

This is a tool will probably come in handy. It’s small, about 12.5″ in length so it fits in spaces the full sized recip saws will not. It works on the Makita LXT 18v battery. So if you are a Makita tool user you are gold. The saw will do 0-3000 strokes per minute with a stroke length of 13/16. This is the tool only so you will need to have your own battery and charger. Again, perfect if you already use Makita tools. This one is brand new in the box.

      I think the recip saw would be the best only because it is so compact that it fills a niche that other tools cannot fit.

    I’ll take the tire inflator since I have 5 vehicles and hate my crappy 12v one that plugs in. I’ve been wanting one and almost ordered the Ryobi since I have a bunch of Ryobi stuff. I also have dewalt stuff and been thinking of tryin out this Milwaukee like.

    Screwdriver set. I live in a 2-story home which basically means if I need a screwdriver while I am upstairs the tool needed is likely in the garage. Of course, when I set out to work on the car, the tool needed is likely upstairs. This screwdriver set has the potential to save my marriage, my family, and keep me from losing my mind. A second screwdriver set is “Murphy’s Law” antidote. Of course, if I won a free screwdriver set, I would become the envy of my neighbors and in all likelihood find a third place to look for my missing tools. Thank you “Humble Mechanic” and “Home Depot” for partnering up on making people’s lives better! 🙂

    I would have to say the two that would be most useful would be either the reciprocating saw or the inflator cause I could use them at work. But every thing looks decent and I guess even though I just buaght a set of screw drivers you can never have to many of those. And the screw gun would come in handy around the house when i need to do dry wall. So if win any I would be happy.

    I’ve never seen the collated attachment for a screw gun before so I just watched a clip from Rigid on YouTube. It’s wild, basically a chain feed screw gun.
