Tomboy Tools makes a splash in the tool industry

Now women can have tools of thier own. "Tomboy Tools" has hit the market and the new, so called "smarter" tools are being marketed just to women.

They are typical handyman tools you would find in any tool box. But, what makes these items unique are the special added features that make them easier for women to use. "They are just more comfortable to use," says Kim Barnett, who tried Tomboy Tools for the first time. "It's surprising that you can say that but they really do, they feel different then the regular tools you pick up out of the tool box."

One of the most unique things about "Tomboy Tools" is how they are sold. They are sold at parties similar to Tupperware or Pampered Chef. Groups of friends get together and a "Tool Consultant" shows them the tools and also teaches them a skill. The host picks the featured skill. You can learn: drywall and plaster repair, painting tips, leaky faucet or toilet repair, trim molding, tiling, and even how to change a tire.
