The Smell of Molten Projects in the Morning

Tools for Ladies

Wandering through the Sears tool department, I found this corner:

Sears Pink Box Tools
Sears Pink Box Tools

Neither of the Ladies in my life favor pink, so I wasn’t even tempted…

Mary wonders if the designers scaled the grips and spring tensions to suit women’s hands. Her experience shows that “tools for men” are too big and require too much grip strength for her comfort; applying pink plastic won’t improve them in the least.
