Sears Blue Crew Woodworker's Sweepstakes

Sears has just kicked off a new sweepstakes, the end result of which is a massive load of tools going to one lucky person. In order to enter the sweepstakes all you have to do is to set up a Twitter account and follow the Sears Blue Tool Crew (http://twitter.com/BlueToolCrew). One winner will be randomly selected February 26th. The eligibility period runs from Feb 11th to Feb 18th. It looks like only new followers during that time will be entered, so if you're already following, you're out of luck.

The big momma prize consists of:

One (1) Craftsman 10" Laser Miter Saw( # 21236). Approximate retail value ("ARV") of $129.99

One (1) Craftsman Digital Miter Gauge (# 929939). ARV of $79.99.

One (1) Craftsman 30 pc Router Bit Set (#926366). ARV of $109.99.

One (1) Craftsman Bar Clamp (#31484). ARV of $19.99.

One (1) Craftsman Base Plunge Router (#17540). ARV of $89.99.

One (1) Craftsman 10" Table Saw (#21807). ARV $299.99

ARV of all prizes is $729.94.

We love the all or nothing vibe of this contest...no second place, no runner-up, just one completely dominant winner laughing at everyone else. Sort of like Thunderdome.

If there ever was a reason to join Twitter, this is it.

Official rules are here.
