Free Tool Bonus at Lowe's

If you shop at Lowe's (or know someone who does), here's a way to get a free 10-piece screwdriver set, 2-piece pliers or a 13-in-1 speed fit screwdriver. Between now and June 15th, if you purchase $50 or more in gift cards at Lowe's, they have a mail-in offer for your choice of one of these three tool items mailed to you for free.

If you know a handyman who shops there and always enjoys picking up new tools, a gift card can always come in handy. But even if you're not planning to give someone a gift card, there's no reason you couldn't use this deal yourself.

If you're going to Lowe's and plan to buy more than $50 for some item(s) you need for a project, you could always buy a gift card for that amount (saving that receipt to qualify for the tool rebate) and then redeem the gift card on the same visit to get your items.

When redeeming the gift card, don't forget to also see about using the $10 off $25 Visa coupon I wrote about in my blog a while ago. I think you could buy a $60 item with the gift card and that coupon.

Lots of ways to combine savings and pick up a nice spare tool in the balance.

Here's the link to the free tool rebate.
