#1 | | Pink is my favorite color Name: City: State: County: 12-28-2008, 02:13 AM

Yep - guys take warning... A few years ago I bought my wife a small little estwing hammer which I nicknamed the girly hammer, she was complaining that my 28oz hammer was to heavy for her to use. She liked the girly hammer BUT she said it's not pink  So I said if I ever see a pink handled hammer I will buy it for you. Guys that was over two 2 years ago OK.
So we are in super walmart picking out presents for the brother in law and my father. I gravitated to the tool section proudly telling my wife, a guy can never have enough tools - which you all know is the truth  So my wife spots a girly tool bag (pink) complete with a pink hammer, pink screw drivers, pink tape measure and a couple other pink things all in a nice neat little pink zip up bag and gave me those you told me you would eyes. Guess who eat his words for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Yep that would be me... See if I would not have bought her that cute pink girly sized tool kit - I would have lied, so I ended up buying it 
Now if your wife is anything like mine - watch what you say because she never forgets.
Here are the pink tools

Jeff...
I do believe you've got me running to WalMart. Maybe that'll keep my wife from digging through my stuff.
I know in my house (and probably all married men's homes) a happy momma means a happy pappa.

Man, I'd love to see a photo of Jeff working with some pink tools...
And YOU KNOW that the time will come when he's working on a quick "honeydo" in the house, and he'll grab 'ol pinky in the interests of being expedient!
Hey Jeff - that pink tape measure might be a good thing to bring to the next lumber run. One things's for sure, you wouldn't have to worry about it walking off! | |

Don't want to hijack the thread here, but some places like Sunbelt & United Rentals keep pink hardhats. You might up the ante with one of those. I buy 'em to keep on the jobsite. If anyone is caught without theirs on I make 'em wear it until they get theirs. Saw many a guy hightail it to his truck. Trouble is, the roach coach & truck drivin' women want 'em all! .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)")

I would not be so sure of that. We have some very talented and charming Lady WW ( Amy, Lorriane, Barbara, Cathy,....) who might jump at the chance to score a bonus such as that.

Even though she has yet to open the bag she's gotten very possessive... Last night I came in from the shop with a pair of safety glasses on my head, I forgot they were up there else I would have left them in the shop. She looked at me and said you have safety glasses? I said yeah lots of pairs in the shop (little does she know I by them by the gross ). I said why you need a pair? She said no, I have my own pair in my PINK tool kit, they are MINE, not yours. She emphasized the words pink and mine, which means to me shes has taken ownership of said pink tool bag items.
I'm waiting to see how all this plays out. I may be able to somehow leverage pink girly tools to acquire the new 8' diameter chainsaw log splitter I've been wanting... Yeah right fat chance of that happening  | |
