Pink Power Tools

Richard asks…

would pink power tools sell?

I’ve seen pink hammers and tool belts.

Matt Matty answers:

Pink power tools and hand tools are the real thing.  In the beginning, many were just cutesy pieces of junk made to capitalize on varnerable buyers.

This is NOT the case anymore, however.  Sure, there are still some unscrupulous manufacturers and promoters of the old school crap, but now the big guys in the biz have taken notice.  They soon realized that there were many women that wanted good quality tools and wanted them to be just as reliable as the more masculine conterparts but sized to their hands a bit more.

Consequently, all the major manufacturers have developed tools designed specifically for a woman.  A good number of them are pink too.  Some of this may be due to emotional appeal, but I would suspect that major reason is to keep the guys from walking off with them.  After all, these are the real deal and if they were some other color, it’s almost a sure thing they would get confiscated.

Just because a tool is pink doesn’t mean it’s junk.  Remember that old saying we learned way back in grade school; “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”.

To help women find tools designed for them and their needs, you can visit a great site with reviews and recommendations.  You’ll find the best tool help at Pink Tools for Women.  Hope this sets things a bit clearer.

 
 
 

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.

 
 
 

Pink Hand and Power Tools For Women

For projects around the house a woman deserves to have her very own pink tools on-hand. It’s not just the color that sets them apart as ‘just for her’. These power and handtools are designed for the right size, weight and fit that’s appropriate for gals.

A good pink tool set for women includes a wide and basic variety of screwdrivers, interchangeable bit sets and driver, a light to mid-weight hammer, and especially a good range of pliers. Many also include a storage bin of nails, screws, fasteners, eye-hooks and hangers that come in handy for all sorts of things around the house. As important as the tools themselves, a quality pink tool kit will have a good tool case or toolbag to protect and neatly store the tools. It should also have additional compartments for wire, tape, and other sundries one is likely to need.

When looking for pink tool sets and kits, keep a few things in mind…

  1. Number 1, DON’T scrimp on quality.  Buying a tool more than once is wasteful and inefficient.  Live within your means but stay away from the cheap junk.
  2. Two, Buy the correct tool for the project at hand.  Getting a screwdriver when what you really need is a chisel is not smart either.  Tools are designed for specific tasks and trying to ‘jury’ rig a tool to do something other than it was designed for is asking for trouble.  People often get hurt using tools incorrectly.
  3. And three, make sure the tool fits your person.  If you can’t find a tool that’s comfortable to use, then call someone in to do the repair or whatever else needs doing.  Using a tool that’s too small or even worse – too big is dangerous.  It’s important to feel comfortable with the tool you selected.  Remember, a tool is basically an extension of your body.

In addition, specially made-for-her Pink tools aren’t just limited to hand tools, there’s also a growing range of Pink power tools like drills, saws and more that are right-sized for a woman’s hands. And there’s more specialized pink tool kit options especially for craft and hobby needs.  Even pink garden tools, make gardening a treat  for gardening in the pink. An excellent gift for girls heading off to college – or for your own household tool needs – explore these tools that aren’t just toys and aren’t just for boys.
