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.

As a 30 year veteran mechanic, this is absolutely awesome!!!! When I stop laughing enough to be able to, you get a huge star!!!
I could probably add a few to this, but I shall just suggest more tools, like an air ratchet, impact wrench, rivet gun, and oh yeah, tools made in Taiwan.
Thanks for making my day!!!
