Holiday of Surprises Giveaway Week #7

Holiday of Surprises Giveaway Week #7
Along With

Proudly Brings you Week #7 of Holiday Surprises Giveaways


Grand Prize Package:
1 - Ryobi 40 volt Lithium Cordless Blower
1 - Ergo Chef Prodigy 5 Piece Knife Set
1- LED Beaded Glass Tree - 3 Piece Tiered Set  Silver
1- LED Beaded Glass Tree - 3 Piece Tiered Set  Gold

RYOBI takes Cordless to the next level with the 40-Volt Lithium-ion Blower. With a 40-Volt battery pack, this blower delivers longer run-time, fade-free power and quick charging. Specially engineered for hard surfaces and smaller yards, this blower features a variable speed trigger for adjustable power and a quick charger that does the job in less than 2 hours so you’re always just one charge away from a perfectly tidy outdoor living space. All backed by a 3 year warranty, there’s never been a better time to consider Cordless.


I recently had the pleasure of trying out this Ryobi Blower and it performance 
was outstanding. The power behind the lithium-ion battery performed better
than the old electric blower that I own. The light weight of the blower minus having
to worry about pulling a extension cord behind you was much easier on my back. It
usually took me around a hour and a half to completely take care of my entire yard
but with the Ryobi Cordless Blower I was done in less than a hour without even stopping
to recharge the battery. When I was finished with my yard my neighbor was amazed
with this cordless blower and asked if  he could use it on his front yard, I told him I wasn't
sure how much more the battery could go since I had just cleaned up my entire front and
back yard. Well to our amazement, the Ryobi Cordless Blower powered through his stack
of leaves and twigs that had collected in his yard with no problem what so ever.

The variable speed trigger made cleaning up a ease by being able to have more power
available at your finger tips if necessary, while using less for those area's that didn't
need as much power to clear. Before when I would use my old electric blower my
wrist would ache for hours after the stress the handle would put on them. This wasn't
the case with the Ryobi, since the handle is ergonomically designed for easy one handed
operation. One great feature is that the nozzle is tapered making it easy to remove those
stubborn areas that a normal blower was just leave. I give this blower 5 stars and plan
to buy both my sons one for Christmas for their homes.








This Prodigy Series Commercial 5 piece was designed for the professional
and home cook who shop for the exceptional value and want a reliable
knife set without spending a bundle. Designed for ergonomic comfort and
precision. The blades are crafted from high carbon stainless steel and have
a 18 degree cutting edge so that they can slice, chop or carve up any food
product that you need. The handles are seamlessly molded to prevent bacteria
issues and provide a non slip grip for precise control and safety. This knife set
includes the following: 8" Chef knife, 8" Bread knife (Offset), 7" Santuko knife,
6" Boning knife, and a 4" Paring knife. Enjoy preparing meals with the Prodigy Series.

I have had the pleasure of using this knife set and I can truthfully tell you it is made
of quality material and expertly designed. After suffering from Carpal Tunnel in my
wrist for years I always dreaded the thought of preparing meals due to the pain I
would have in my wrist afterwards from using our old store bought knife set that
had a hard time slicing butter more less meats. The first time I used these, I  went
over to our drawer and took out our old knifes and threw them away. With this set
of knifes it is now a pleasure preparing a meal for my family. Chopping up vegetables
with the 7" Santuko knife takes no time at all and the best part is I have no pain in
my wrist now due to the Prodigy's ergonomic designed handles. I give this set 5 Stars
any day of the week.

Proudly Brings You
"Holiday Dreams Come True With Ryobi"

One Grand Prize Winner Will Get a 

 Ryobi 18 volt  6-Piece Lithium-Ion
Ultimate Combo Tool Set

Holiday Contest and Sweeps has been given the honor to review
this amazing tool set. I had several projects around the house that
needed to be completed and my wife is glad to say they now have been 
finished.By using the Ryobi 18 Volt Cordless set of tools I was gladly able
to put away the extensions cords that were required for all my power
tools used in these jobs. The one factor that I loved the best in using this
cordless set was that the batteries are inter-changeable and with the
Dual Chemistry Charger, they took no time at all to re-charge. 

In addition to the tool set, another great feature from Ryobi is that you
can join there Ryobi Nation for free.  This is a community where you can share your projects, get some DIY inspiration, enter your projects to monthly challenges (where the prizes are awesome tools!) and receive exclusive discounts and alerts to new products and upcoming promotions! 

You will find a entry on the rafflecopter form below in which you can join
the Ryobi Nation today!

Let's take a better look at the Ryobi 18 Volt Lithium-Ion Ultimate Combo Tool Set  below before
you enter this wonderful giveaway opportunity.

 This kit is powered by new lithium-ion batteries, the very best value in lithium-ion performance. They offer up to 20% more run time, hold a charge 4X longer and are 45% lighter weight than Ni-Cd batteries. Batteries stored on the IntelliPort™ charger are conditioned for peak performance. The drill includes a 1/2 inch heavy-duty single sleeve, key less chuck with a 24 position clutch to match your drilling and driving needs. The reciprocating saw is great for demolition and general cutting of a variety of material. The circular saw has a 5-1/2 inch, carbide tipped blade to rip through 2-by material and sheet goods. The work light has a swivel head that directs light where needed.


For anyone that loves power tools, this combo set will defiantly
be on their Christmas Wish List.  Let's take a closer look at
each of these quality built power tools that are included in this set.

P506 5 1/2 CIRCULAR SAW w/Laser
ONE+™ delivers more value and performance with this new circular saw. It has a compact design for better handling and left side blade for better cut line visibility. It is equipped with an Exactline™ laser that automatically activates during use to improve cut accuracy. It features the new and improved GripZone™ overmold for optimum grip and comfort. This saw can make bevel cuts of up to 45 degrees and its electric brake quickly stops the blade for enhanced safety. 
This Ryobi Circular is the only circular I will use from now on. I used it on a project I had
it easily cut through 1/2" plywood with no hesitation. The laser marker made cutting a
straight cut much more easier, elimination the need for making marks on the wood. It
also had very little drain on the lithium battery.

Like all ONE+ items, this saw works with any 18V ONE+ battery. Upgrade to lithium-ion batteries for lighter weight and more performance.


P208B Drill With Screwdriver Bit

This drill is compact and powerful enough to handle any job on your project list. It features the exclusive MagTray®, which is perfect for holding bits and screws to maximize productivity on the job site. The integrated LED light gives extra flexibility when working in low-light situations. The new and improved Grip Zone™ over-mold provides optimum grip and user comfort.

Not many drills have impressed me as much as the Ryobi P208, It is lightweight and made

very durable. The integrated lighted saved me from having to hold a drill in one hand and
trying to maneuver a flashlight in another. It saves you time and provides access to any
place you need to get to. There is now no need for stretching extensions cords all over the
place.

Features:

  • Compact design fits into small spaces, ideal for hard to reach areas
  • Powerful motor with the same torque and performance of a full sized drill
  • LED light illuminates work surfaces for increased visibility
  • MagTray® magnetic holder for convenient placement of screws and bits
  • 1/2 in. single-sleeve, key-less chuck with automatic spindle lock for easy bit changes
  • On-board bit storage for convenience
  • 24 position clutch and 2-speed gear box to match your drilling and driving needs
  • Top-mounted bubble level for drilling and driving accuracy
  • New and improved Grip Zone™ over-mold for optimum grip and user comfort

P514 Reciprocating Saw
ONE+™ delivers more productivity and better ergonomics for more control. The combination of the unique Anti-Vibe handle, which reduces fatigue during prolonged use and new and improved GripZone overmold for optimum grip and user comfort make this saw a must-have tool for any size job. 

The adjustable, pivoting shoe allows greater depth control and more efficient use of the blade by moving to a less worn section. 

The variable speed trigger adds to the tool’s control with slow starts to line up the best cut and an electronic brake to stop the cutting quickly. It makes your job faster with up to 3,100 strokes per minute and a tool less blade clamp for quick and easy blade changes. 

This saw is simply amazing, it cuts through wood like your were cutting through butter
with a knife. Unlike other reciprocating saws that leave your hands numb from the
vibrations, this saw is smooth and gets the job done. I used this saw for over a hour 
before having to place it on the charger. Defiantly a nice addition to my power tools.

Ryobi P236 Impact Driver
Impact drivers are the fastest growing power tool category because they make work so much easier. ONE+™ delivers more innovation, features and power to impact drivers than ever. The variable speed trigger assists in screw start up, allowing the unique impact mechanism to drive the longest deck screws or largest lag screws with ease by delivering more than 1600 in lbs of torque. It is over 33% faster and more powerful than the previous model and incorporates the Tri-Beam LED lights to eliminate shadows on bits and fasteners in the darkest work areas.

When it is time get things done, just take the bit from the convenient on-board storage and place it in the Auto-load chuck. Nothing could be easier for fast, one handed bit changes. Use the EXCLUSIVE MagTray™ magnetic holder to keep screws and bits in easy reach. Add to that the new and improved GripZone™ overmold for optimum grip and user comfort to equal a pro featured tool with performance to match.

I used this Impact Driver on a project in my basement and I was amazed in the ease
it sank 2.5" construction screws in the old ceiling joist. The power that the 18 volt lithium-ion
provides is plenty for any household project that you will come across. Defiantly a big improvement from my old power driver.

RYOBI P246 18V MULTI-TOOL W/ P570 MULTI-TOOL HEAD


Ryobi JobPlus delivers more innovation and versatility than any other 18-Volt multi-tool on the market. It includes a multi-tool attachment head that cuts drywall, metal, wood, plastic, composite and many other materials; it also sands the finest details.

Comes with  a Segment Saw blade, Sanding
pad, 5 pieces of Sandpaper. Allen Wrench and Multi-tool Accessory Adapter.


The Multi Tool is probably my favorite tool of the entire set. It eliminates the need 
to keep changing tools or not being able to fit into certain tight places. It's ability to
sand surfaces is a great feature to have.  I had put off a job that I had planned in
putting a new electrical access into our bedroom wall but dreaded having to mess
with cutting through the dry wall. The multi tool attachment head cut it out perfectly
with no problems at all.




  • Compact tool head fits into tight spaces

The diagnostic read-out provides charging status and even lets you know if the battery is too hot or cold to charge.

The One + charges the batteries incredibly fast. Within placing a fully drained
battery in the charger, your good to go within 30 minutes with full charge. It
gives you a charger that will enable you to work all day long if needed.

2 - Ryobi P107 18V One+ Compact Lithium-ion Batteries
