Women with Wrenches: Hand Tools for Bicycle Safety
Filed in: Pink Hand and Power Tool News
Have you ever noticed that whenever you get a new car, you tend to notice how many other people are driving the same make and model as the one you just got?
Well, the same thing is happening to me - not about cars, but about stories of women working with hand and power tools, etc. All of a sudden I'm finding tons of stories about women finding better ways to get acquainted with tool sets and learning how to use them.
I don't normally like to write words about some other words, but I found this article about a woman that's put together a workshop for women wanting to learn how to repair their own bicycles. There's more than one reason why I like this story so much. I remember my mom telling us kids that she didn't divide her love among us, she multiplied it. Well this story does the same thing - this woman's efforts multiply the good she's doing.

Filed in: Womens Tool Tips
There's no doubt that this economy has stressed budgets to the breaking point. Nearly everyone I've talked to has a story to tell about something they have needs replacing.
The truth of the matter is that for so long we have become accustomed to replacing something instead of repairing it.
True, many items just aren't manufactured with repair in mind but many things around the house can be fixed with the right tools.
Once you invest in a good quality tool, there's a good chance that tool will last you a lifetime. Tools are an investment, not and expense and will pay for themselves over and over again.
