My name is Jen, and I am a tool addict.

Fifteen or so years ago I NEVER would have seen this coming.  I didn’t know how to work a drill and the idea of using a power saw?  Pssssh…  I mean, it was positively unfathomable.

But however I wound up here, I’m irreversibly hooked now.  I can’t look at a potential project around the house and not think about whether I could do it myself.  And the most empowering thing about DIY, the thing that makes it do-able in the first place, is having the right tools to use.

We’re less than a week to Christmas now, but oh do I have the perfect tool for you if you’re looking to give or get the ultimate DIY tool this year.  Let me introduce you to the Sonicrafter F50.

I just received this tool myself and am positively itching to take it for a test run, but with the general madness of both my daughters’ birthdays this month and Christmas on the immediate horizon, tinkering with my new tool will have to wait for the new year.

I have seen this baby in action though.  A couple years ago I built and upholstered a rocking chair for my niece and could not figure out how to precisely cut the right angle where the legs met the rockers. My dad called a contractor friend and guess what tool he brought for the job?

Yep.  This one.  And it worked like a dream.  

If you can imagine a hybrid of a jigsaw, circular saw, and precision cutting tool, well, this is it.  You can hold and operate it in one hand too, and it doesn’t break the bank.  Read all about it HERE.

As an added bonus, Rockwell Tools is hosting a huge “Give One, Get one” Sweepstakes which runs from November 3^rd to January 31^st, 2015. Participants have the chance to win two ULTIMATE sets of Rockwell Tools for themselves and someone they love. There will be 10 runners-up, who will each win 2 Sonicrafter F50s for themselves AND someone they love.  You can enter online HERE.

PLUS (yes, there’s more) if you want to jumpstart your own DIY in the new year or gift this amazing little tool to someone you love this Christmas, you can get 15% off at www.rockwelltools.com with the code HOMECHRONICLES15 from now until December 31st.

I can’t wait to show you what I do with this tool.  In fact, I have one particular BIG project coming up that I think it will be perfect for.  More details on that soon…

Enter below to win a Sonicrafter F50 for yourself (or someone else), and in the meantime make sure you check out all the details on what this tiny powerhouse can do – think removing grout, cutting boards, making notches, angling difficult cuts.  Endless possibilites.  I’m SO excited.

Remember, if you’re already on my mailing list (you get an e-mail when I publish a new post), or follow me on Pinterest or Instagram, you’ve got yourself a free entry!  If not, do sign up, you could win this awesome tool, and we can be friends :)
