Pick up a hammer, and let your ponytail fly! Well, all right. Many of us have grown out of that youthful age and I don't have long hair anymore. But do you remember that exhuberant "I can do ANYTHING!" attitude? And the sense of accomplishment that followed the completion of a task? Keep that feeling in mind as you read on.

Now - how's your home? Do you love your "space", or do you dream of improving it? Does it need repairs or maintenance work? From general fix-ups and interior redecorating to gardening and renovations, there's a lot we can do ourselves which will save us a bundle of money. Unfortunately, as women, we're often faced with 3 problems: working with tools designed for men, knowledge, and confidence. The solution: Karen and Tomboy Tools!

TOMBOY TOOLS® is a company providing unique designed-for-women hand and power tools for home improvement projects. We encourage women to become confident and competent caretakers of their homes at In-Home Tool Parties! We have hands-on demos with a tell-show-do-feedback approach to home improvement projects. We tell you how it's done, show you how to do it, give you a chance to try it yourself and then provide feedback so you can recreate the project in your own home.
