Gardening Tools You'll Love - Just for Women
Filed in: Pink Tool Reviews
With the weather starting to get nice, Shelly (my daughter) decided that it was time to end the planning and begin the planting of our garden. I'm the type to get the rototiller out and dig up the whole yard. Once that's done I feel virile, want a pizza, and then a nap. Shelly, on the other hand has a lot more sense (and discipline) than I do and just gives me that 'Oh Dad' look, gets her tools out and starts working
A couple years ago she bought this pink tool set. I asked her if the color really made any difference in how well the tools performed. I was being a wise guy and figured I had the upper hand. Again she gave me one of those looks and said "yes, they make the job go easier, I can find them when I put them down cause they contrast with the ground, and mostly cause you won't pick them up and walk off with them".
Hmmm, I guess I can't argue with that reasoning. She's right too about me not using them. A guy has his pride you know and just wouldn't be seen using a pink tool... Actually, it has nothing to do with pride and more to do with security, or the lack thereof.
In any event, when we finished the task, there was a welling up of pride in having accomplished a lot today and the best thing about a garden is the idea that there's more to come and unfold as the days get warmer and the seeds start to germinate and grow towards the sun.

New - Tools For Women is Born

As a father of a young and beautiful daughter, I have always tried to instill a sense of self-reliance. Part of that education has been in the use and care of both hand and power tools.
Early on I realized that most tools were made for men and didn't fit a women's hand - or were too heavy to be used effectively. Fortunately, manufactures saw the problem with this and developed tools meant to address this situation.
This site augments that effort. By taking what I know about tools and coupling that with the needs of a woman, I believe I have put together a pretty good choice of tools any woman would be proud to own and use.
As time goes on, this blog with showcase tools, pass on tips, and talk about how a women can grow to be independent and self-reliant with regards to fixing stuff, putting together a project, and the use of tools.
Mankind, for the most part, is set apart from our mammal counterparts because we use tools. Unfortunately, the term Mankind has come to be dominated by men. This is wrong and I hope to make a point of it here.
