"Cagney and Lacey" premiered on this day in 1982. The show broke new ground as the first TV crime show in which both main characters were female. Women are having a big impact on tools, as well. One of two big trends in power tools this year is a model developed specifically for women featuring lighter weights and smaller grips. The other also appeals to the make-sense 'softer' side of building and construction -- with more multiple-use tools. They're drills, sanders, saws and screwdrivers -- all in one. They offer convenience while keeping costs down. Finally, the brakes are on as power tool-makers realize top-of-the-line monsters now weigh a ton. Today, the trend in power tools has two new schools (of thought) and women rule. Thank you, ladies. And that's the On The House tip for today.
