Joining us this month is Bosch Tools, and they are graciously providing their new HDS182-01L 18V EC Brushless Compact Tough ½-Inch Drill/Driver as the prize for one lucky winner.

I am excited to announce that Makita has joined in on the giveaway fun and is offering up their brand new 18V X2 (36-volt) 7-1/4-inch Cordless Circular Saw for this month's giveaway.
