Pink Hammers

Why not - not secure enough in you masculinity :).?

Everyone should get whatever color they like, but I have a feeling that tools that look like tools are safer. I don't think I'd prefer a tool that invited me to let my guard down. I'd prefer red warning stickers to pink. How can you hand anyone a pink anything, and expect them to take it seriously? ;)

Was it a fuschia pink or more of a dusty rose?

Powdered pussy willow pink would crow bar my wallet, fer sure ...

....as long as it isn't that disgusting pony-pecker pink.

Hell, even putrid puss pussy pink before that ...

Well, we handed the Iranians a bunch of pink F-14s and when ever one of those lit off its radar the entire Iraqi air force would look for a place to hide.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Pink hammers are probably a symbol, same as pink ribbons, of acknowledgement of the event.

Also, if they have the pink ribbon symbol for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, part of the price goes to research.

My daughter has done the 60 mile walk to raise money and the OverLord and daughter do the 3 mile for the last few years - in fact this coming Sunday.

At one time, there was a line of pink colored tool especially for the women. It was a psychology thing, hoping they'd be more likely to buy them.

I wouldn't refuse to use a pink tool, but given the choice between two equal tools would probably buy the non-pink version.

Last I heard, the group now has a new theme, "Big or small, save them all".

Gotta love it.

When I rented space in a cabinet shop where I could only use the space on off hours, the regular day shift guys (who I got to know pretty well) somehow seemd to always visit my utility belt and "borrow" stuff. I once replaced one of those red handled screwdrivers with the changable tips with one from my daughters toy kit that had a flowered pattern. They never took it, so I bought some pink spray paint. I still have a few clamps and squares, etc that are pink.

Think of the benefits, though... it would never get stolen. :-)

Afterall, the pink tool would clash with your other tools.

Check out:

Pink tools sound like the basis for a woodworker's club 'booby' prize where you award one monthly to the woodworker who can build the most outlandish woodworking project. Would be great for some laughs.

Pink? You guys probably don't watch rugby and won't have seen the Stade Francais strip. Here is a picture of the SF forwards:
