maybe with little dried flowers inside a clear lucite. Does anyone make them. If not, maybe we should go into business. Why do tools have to look ugly to be practical?

My husband is the handy one so I just have a draw in the kitchen where I keep 2 screwdrivers, pliers and various other bits like string and glue. I once bought a friend a very pretty set of small tools with pretty handles but I have never seen them sold again.

Actually I have a few tool boxes and a little container that contains all my pliars, I have several styles for my different needs such as cutting necklace chains and stuff. Considering how many tools I have it would be too expensive to get pretty ones. My Dad bought me a lot of my tools. My hubby is not handy so I do most of the things around the house, that means that I am the owner of most of the tools here and if hubby borrows something he knows he must bring it back to me so I know where it is next time.

Go to Micheal's they have really pretty ones cheap!
I listed below what is in the kit. You don't have to pay for shipping either. Hope you have a Micheal's near you!

pretty does not make them any more functional. I bought a pair of small scissors with pretty handles but went back to my old ones as they seemed to work better...Sally

I have been tempted by them in Lincraft, Which doesn't help you much because that is an Aussie store, but they definitely make them.

Found your store and the tool page link. Looks and has the same/similar items as in the USA.

I have a set with purple flowers on them. The set has a hammer, screwdriver, needlenose pliers, Snippers and a tiny needlenose plier. I got them at Micheal's. They still have them because I saw a prettier set that I wanted. But couldn't justify buying another set. LOL

Here is a site with tools made for women.
Amazon has floral on the second page.

I have a drawer in the kitchen with screwdrivers, hammer, pliers, sockets, nuts, bolts, batteries, sandpaper etc. Not very pretty to look at but very functional. Sometimes it is hard to get the drawer closed. These are well used tools. Anything pretty is only made for looks not for use.

LOL-I have one of those drawers too Marg-it's funny too because every once in awhile I take a notion to clean it out a bit and return some stuff back to the tool chest in the basement-darn tools always seem to make their way back to that drawer when we're sleeping and it just keeps cluttering up-even with the sectioned drawer sorter-it's full of screws, nuts,tacks, wire nuts, washers, etc.

Ummmm..."Anything pretty is only made for looks, not for use!" That is what I tell my hubby when he says I am pretty! LOL

what I use most is That purple ting

What is that purple thing????

I saw a lady with a cane like this once - but I haven't seen tools like this. I've seen pink tools. I actually have a small pink hammer and my husband laughs at it - he asks me what I'm going to do with it - he used to put in hardwood floors so he likes nice heavy hammers and I like lighter hammers for my woodworking projects.... one I can swing with one hand not two!! They would be pretty... I'll bite - lets start a business!

Do you mean like hammers, screwdrivers & plyers tools? If that's what you mean-they do make them for women-porcelain handles with pretty flowers on them-forget where I have seen them before?? Sears maybe- Nobody but myself sees my stuff anyway-because I am set up in the basement-so I don't care what the tools look like-as long as it does what I need it to do lol.~linda~
