Pretty Pink Tools For Women!
Hey, ladies! First and foremost, we're girls, and we want things to look pretty — even our handy-woman or handy-ma'am tools!
So, here are a few recommendations for pink tool kits for women. They delight the eye as well as make fixing broken things around the house so much less of a chore.
With pink tools for women, you won't have many of the male persuasion borrowing and not returning your tools, either. For some reason, men are allergic to pink. ;)
Pink tool kits for women make great holiday or Christmas gifts to consider for the handy women in your life.
The "Little Pink Toolkit"
Choosing Pink Tools For Women
Pink Commentary
Many women don't aspire to be die-hard handy-women. They're not looking for the best Makita, or DeWalt, or Bosch. They don't want the latest in gas guns or high-powered drills. They're just looking to have something on hand that will take care of the normal chores, projects, or emergencies that come with being a homemaker. The recommendations that follow will do the trick — and then some! The first two items are my favorite; you can't beat the guarantee!
As gifts, these suggestions should make any practical woman's eyes gleam — as long as she's not receiving it from her husband. (Note to hubbies: If she asks for it, though, make a beeline to the checkout with it. Wrap it purty, now. :)

Pink Caveat
Some things to watch out for:
I have found that lots of makers out there change their products only through color. They don't change the ergonomics — the weight, the handling, and such. In other words, just because it's pink, it doesn't mean it's "designed for women."
Another problem I've found is the quality. For instance, there's a pink tool belt made of leather just like the ones for men; it has that pink color bleeding onto the clothing worn beneath it.
Pink Not-So-Pink
Women want more colors! The problem with finding tools with colors that suit us is that the tools are created mostly as a fad and not with attention to detail or quality in mind. So, if pink is not your color, I suggest buying the better-known hand tools I've chosen for women and dipping them in, or painting them with, Plasti Dip, from Performix. It lasts for years!
Plasti-dip 12209KIT "Performix" Plasti-dip Multi- Purpose Create Your Own Color Rubber Coating Kit 22 Oz.
Amazon Price: $21.99 (as of 11/28/2009)
Tints included are red, yellow, black, blue, and clear. Want something in the purple family of colors? Use red and blue tint. Want something in the green family? Use yellow and blue tint. ...As you are creating your ultimate color for your first "dip" or paint job, make sure to write down every step in the process so that you can re-create it for your other tools.
Pink Thank You, Pastiche!
Pastiche left that message on my graduation lens when we graduated from RocketMoms. She is the first lensmaster to tell me she's purchased through a lens of mine. Now that made me feel super good. I thank her and want to document it here: Thank you, Lee!
Do visit Pastiche; you are sure to be impressed.
Thank You For Stopping By
I hope you enjoyed your visit :)

- Great lens, but you knew that :) Just wanted to remind you that this is featured on the Women and Girls Shopping Headquarters: http://www.squidoo.com/groups/women-girls
It's now transformed into a lensography and I would love it if you could feature it here, or lensroll it or something.

- I can't see me buying pink tools, but if they were in the house I would use them :) I agree with you about changing the color doesn't make them fit better for women-ergonomically.

- Love this lens. My husband purchased me a pink with flowers screwdriver so I would stop using his. It was so much nicer than his that now he only uses mine. I tease him that he looks good in pink flowers. I should get him a matching tool belt.

Quick Story About This Lens
RocketMoms is a group of Squidoo ladies that have come together to support each other. It's headed by Giant Lensmaster bdkz (Bonnie). Bonnie's second assignment for us was to create a "niche" lens — a lens about a topic where we've drilled down and gotten very specific. This lens is about pink tool kits for women — not just tool kits for women, but pink tool kits for women. :)
Here are the Top 100 RocketMoms lenses.
