I was just informed that I won a $250 gift card to Longmont Ace Hardware. :2thumbup: :woot:

First thing to use it for is a new shop vac. That should leave a balance of over 150 since I don't require a big one. I'm thinking of using the balance for auto detailing supplies, fuses,etc.

What would you spend it on?

It would take the sting off a Yeti cooler- those things are pricey!

Or it would take the sting off a "Green Egg" smoker/grill thing.

Shop Vac is always needed. I'd go with power/cordless tools also.

I'd put it towards a pressure washer.

A cordless 3/4" impact gun is really handy!

I would think of one thing I REALLY wanted or needed and see if they could order it. Maybe a nice chainsaw or one of those standalone jump starter/inverter things. Maybe even enough cfl light bulbs to replace all the bulbs in my house. A heater for my garage.

I would obviously have a hard time deciding. Too bad they probably don't sell guns. The ace in Loveland does or used to anyway... If they did, I would get a gun for sure.

I've a great bbq and chainsaw, also have CFLs in all my lamps. That does give me an idea though, wonder if they've led bulbs?

Get a drill press, Tom. I might need the use of one in the near future. :D

Since you don't need a big shop vac, get the De Walt Shop Vac, runs on 110v or their batteries. I love mine. You could also buy a set of the tools/box you need just for the Jeep :)

ACE has craftsman tools now, that's where I'd blow it. That's a nice win, Tom!
