October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and being a woman, that’s a huge concern of mine.  I love supporting Susan G. Komen and the companies that donate to them as well. SKIL has partenered with Susan G. Komen and has launched “Tools for the Cure”, which includes the Pink SKIL iXO Palm-Sized Screwdriver Kit.
I’m hoping something breaks or I need a screwdriver for something because I’m dying to use the pink SKIL iXO Palm-Sized Screwdriver, it fits perfectly in my hand and it’s PINK! It is perfect for things around the house and since Jeff keeps losing all of his tools, I now have this handy tool to do things on my own and not need his help. The kit includes the iXO pink cordless screwdriver, right angle attachment, 5-piece bit set, charger and a cute pink carrying bag.
For every pink iXO Palm-Sized Screwdriver kit SKIL sells between August 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 they will donate ten percent (10%) to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, with a minimum donation of $100,000 to the organization. I’ve seen them sold at Walmart and it also sold on Amazon for $39.98.
THE GIVEAWAY has ended.
One lucky Eighty MPH reader will win their very own pink SKIL iXO Palm-Sized Screwdriver kit ($39.98 ARV)
