Craftsman’s SCREW*D Reality Show: Help Alan

After my visit to the Craftsman Experience earlier this year I realized just how much fun using some tools can be and how much I LOVE Craftsman. Craftsman prides itself on having the right tools for any job. Whether or not you know how to use them, is another story. But anyone can learn right? That’s what we’re going to find out. The brand launched an online reality series, SCREW*D: Where Survival Comes Down to the Right Tools.  The series is following one unhandyman’s journey to learn tool skills in anticipation of a series of extreme, high-risk tool and survival challenges.  His only resources for these challenges – Craftsman tools and the brand’s online community. That means us!

The tool clueless hero, Alan Weischedel, has absolutely no tool experience or skills, but is striving to become the ultimate handyman. Alan’s home base is the Craftsman Experience in Chicago, and episodes of the series air each Sunday on www.craftsmanscrewd.com. He survived the Bayou a few weeks ago and will be dropped someone new next week. Find out where he’s going to be dropped and what he needs help with to get out of his next challenge.

Wanna Get SCREW*D?

Wow, you might be thinking, isn’t she a mommy blogger, I thought I was safe going to her site. I know, I know what you might be thinking…

I visited with Craftsman a few weeks ago, I was terrified of power tools before I went to the Craftsman Experience in Chicago. TERRIFIED. I had no idea how to use a band saw and then I made a sword. Now I’m not afraid and I want others to face their fear. Do not fear the power tool, Get SCREW*D.

Craftsman Tools is looking for a reality star for a new online series: SCREW*D: Where Survival Comes Down to the Right Tools.  If you’re like me, of course, I’m not sure that I qualify anymore having had a few power tool lessons under my best.. The chosen person will make $50,000 — in just three months – not bad in this economy – not bad in any economy. It’s down right awesome if you ask me. As far as reality TV shows go I think this one is going to be pretty good!

 

Entries were taken on-line and in person (in Chicago at the Craftsman Experience and LA). Soon they are going to open it up to a vote. The chosen individual will undergo boot camp training sessions and is THEN taken on a series of extreme, high risk, survival challenges with only brand’s online community to guide him or her along the way.   The adventure will be chronicled on www.craftsmanscrewd.com beginning August 14.  Voting will begin July 20th.
