You could always buy a toolbox that you like the style of and have it painted pink at a body shop. If you don’t want to spend the money on that just tape everything off with masking tape and paint it yourself. Be sure to scuff the original paint to be sure the new paint will stick. If I were you I would use a “hot” or “flourescent” pink to make it really stand out. Good luck. Hats off to you. My Dad was a  Tool and Die Maker himself and have never seen any girl show interest in the trade. When I told him about your question, he just smiled and said “Good for Her!!”.  My congrats too with good wishes as well.

btw, I did do some looking and found a couple of pink tool chests/cabinets on Amazon.  Maybe these might be a good place to start your search.

Pink Tool Kits

Steven asks…

Do they make pink tool kits for women that are a good brand name?

Looking for a gift for Mother’s Day. Do you have a link to where I could buy it?

Matt Matty answers:

Actually, almost all the major manufacturers now build a line of tools designed just for women.  Visit Tools-for-Women to find tools from the makes of Apollo, Fiskars, Black & Decker, and Rockwell – to name a few.  Women have come into their own and manufactures have finally tuned in.
