DIY Network

We got hoodwinked last week.  We thought the mystery tool was so far obsolete that it would be hard to identify — we were totally wrong. Almost everyone still knows what a typewriter ribbon looks like. 

We picked one guess from all that we received and the winner is James, who also knows what a typewriter ribbon is.  Congratulations James, you’ve got one week to reply before we pick another winner.  

Next Tuesday, we will be giving away Ryobi Tek 4 Inspection Scope. This flexible, 3-foot waterproof camera allows you to peak into confined spaces like behind walls, under floors and inside duct work.  The scope’s ultra-bright LED light will let you see inside any dark crevice, and the 2.7-inch LCD screen provides 2x the magnification.

In order to win the Ryobi Scope, post a comment (click “comment” above) and tell us what this gun-looking thing is used for.  You don’t have to answer correctly to win; we will randomly pick one winner from all the comments.

Looking for a project to take on during your holiday break? It is a good time to paint — we’ve got prep tips to make sure you get great results, plus find advice on picking colors, and learn which types of brushes and rollers you should use. 

On Tuesday, December 27, we will select the winner then start up a new giveaway for another tool, which will be given away the Tuesday after that.

You have until December 27, 2011, 2:00pm (ET) to enter to win the Ryobi Tek 4 Inspection Scope.
