Please please please don't make the handles pink (or purple or flowery). They already exist and I think they're awful! I would never buy a pink hammer. (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Essentials-32-Piece-Tool-Set-Pink/15257246 -- and only $20!)
What would be more helpful, I think, is power and hand tools for women, built with something physiologically measurable, like the size of women's hands. I would be much more likely to buy a tool set that was meant to make it easier for me to use, than look "pretty" when I use it.
Of course, on the scale of manliness(0) to femininity(100), I scored a 52, so maybe I'm not "ladylike" enough to have a meaningful opinion here. And I have giant man hands, so it's regular hammers for me, anyway. :)
So you think I should make it variable sizes perhaps? With still the same power and effectiveness? What about different types, to go with different personalities?
I wasn't just going to make the tools pink per-say, it was just something quick i put together just to get an idea rolling.

This is probably a better example. The other ones looked like toys!

Sorry, I panicked.... :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone is actually going to do exactly what they wrote down. I'm not.
How about MORE powerful?
ReplyDeleteWith interchangeable snap on handles?
