    I bought myself quite a nice screwdriver with flowers all over the handle, thinking it might mean it stays in MY toolbox. All at did is now he can find it quicker. I guess if ALL the tools were flowery it would slow him down a bit.

    Probably a woman

    I remember a sports stadium I designed for a high school a long time back. I employed an architect to finish the detail and manage its construction. I went back some time after it was finished to find it various shades of bright pink. I know my taste in colours is not necessarily perfect, after all a lot of people like pink and it was a mixed school, so I asked him who ultimately picked the colours - he admitted it was his wife.

    haha that would not stop my husband one bit. I know I had pink tools and he found them brighter to see and at work no one would pinch his tools because they were pink. HAHA he one of those people it colour does not faze him one bit so much as I was given a flowery hammer with guarantee that man won't take. Well i neve had it for more than an hour before he had a need. LOL
    bye Toni

    Maybe its not women they are marketing to. Could be the "Pink Dollar" that some talk of. Although I do sometimes catch myself wishing that tool boxes came in more interesting colours. Had to settle for a yellow one. But I don't think pink would be my choice. Purple perhaps.
