The Sparetoolz $350 Gift Card Giveaway has now closed, and we are THRILLED to announce that the winner is Kim M. from New Jersey! 

When we emailed her to let her know, she let us know that the timing couldn't be better--her roof had begun leaking over the weekend, and a $350 gift card to Lowe's was just the ticket to solve her problem.

We're glad we could help, Kim! Thanks for entering and for using the Sparetoolz tool rental app. We hope you love using it.
