Remember those window treatments I blogged about the other day?
Well, part of our 2012 DIY Blog Squad duties involved trying out a new tool from True Value, and since we used it to put those window blinds up, I thought this would be a good time to blog about it. It’s called the Swift Driver, and it’s made by Master Mechanic…
We recorded a little video to show how much easier it made the un-fun task of hanging blinds…
Pretty handy dandy, eh?
To be honest, when we first got it, we were sort of thinking it was just going to be one more unused tool in our already jam-packed, mess of a tool room. But we’ve used it several times since the day we hung the blinds, and we’re thinking we can probably just get rid of the 8 million regular screwdrivers we have laying around because this thing works so much better than they do.
Which gives me an idea. (Literally just hit my brain as I am typing this.)
Kev! Let’s give away a couple of Swift Drivers! (I just yelled that to him from my desk.)
(He just responded, “Okay!”)
So- if you’d like to enter for a chance to win one, just leave us a comment on this post (if you’re reading this in an email, you’ll have to click over to our blog to leave a comment) between now and Monday, July 16th (9am CST) and we’ll randomly select a couple of winners sometime after that. Good luck!

That looks pretty awesome! I’ve skinned a lot of knuckles trying to turn screw drivers in those tight spaces.
Yes please.
Ooh, my husband loves tools of all kinds and since I’m all the time getting him to “fix” things or “help me out” this would be perfect. Love, love, love your blog!

My husband would love this! With both the blinds and the curtain rods we have there are screws only half way in due to being at a hard angle.
This looks like a cool little tool!
Looks pretty cool, I’m excited to use it.
Just purchased a small cottage in MI. Have to replace all window treatments – looks like it won’t take up too much space in my suitcase.
