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.

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 Tools Caveat

Some things to watch out for:

I have found that a lot 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 sometimes want more than pink. But, the problem with finding tools with colors that suit us is that these colored 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: $19.99 (as of 02/13/2012)

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 Tools Buyer

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. As a writer that also recommends products in some of my work, that made me feel super good. I thank her and want to document it here: Thank you, Lee!

Lee is an artist and shares her work here at Squidoo and at other places online. She has also written an article about Eco-Friendly Tiny Houses that you just might find interesting. No, it's not a pink house, but it sure is small. And cute!

Great article! I am a tomboy tools consultant, and love our pink tools! Keeping them away from the men with their color, and being able to fix things on my own without having to haul around my husbands bulky tools is nice! Now I have my own toolbox full of tools and my own impact drill to build and fix whatever I want, and try some new crafts like my new favorite, mosaic tiling!

In addition to pink being one of my favorite colors, I often threaten my husband that I will be buying pink tools to deter him from stealing mine.lol. Congrats on your purple star and I love this pink lens.

I have worked many years as a laborer in the construction world. I own a pink extension cord. When I would bring it to work, it was the ONE tool that was always safe (not "borrowed"...)! The guys wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole! I SO agree with this!

Nice lens!

I very much like the idea of pink tools.

I have been known to spray-paint a tool pink hoping the men in the family would not touch it with a 10-ft pole!
