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

Thanks

Nice, his-and-her tools. That should keep them straight. Now you just have to make sure you never get caught borrowing a pink one!

Funny how times change. During the Renaissance, pink was a manly color... akin to red it was aggressive, strong, and attention-getting. (Think red Ferrari.) Women wore blue, considered softer and quieter.

Anybody with a pink DW 788, PC 7518, or ClearVue they are too manly to own, I'll be glad to take it off your hands.

Jeff, I bet she can tell you what you were wearing when you told her that!

Well she used her girly tools to put together this towel rack

Even though she didn't know the difference between a big and small pan head screw and I had to show her that one screw was too big to be screwed in the small hole. Then I showed here the difference between a pan head screw and a flat head screw. One less honeydo crossed of the list

When she was done, the last words she said to me "don't touch my girly tools" and to my youngest daughter "I don't want to see another towel on the floor again"

By the way I got a good look at the tool colors they are both mauve and pink

Thanks

Your a good man but your in trouble now, better keep her away from the shop.

Nope not in trouble - She won't go in the shop, says "there are cobwebs in there and deer antlers over the door" I like it that way

She did try an get me to cleanup the cobwebs once by buying me a shop vac but I never got around to it, probably never will either.

I will be going to see if I can get my girls a set of these!! I got them some pink kids sized hearing protectors for Christmas and this will be a plus as well!

Thanks for posting.

BTW - I will definitively use them. Tools are tools, and for me, the pink ones will be easier to find as they will stand out!
