Recently we reported how women are influencing the design and styling of many new power tools. Some feature lighter weights and smaller grips because they're developed specifically for women. Why this sudden shift to include the ladies? Besides there being more families headed by single moms today, there? are more female homeowners, as well. The homebuilders association reports the number of women homebuyers more than doubled over the last 15 years. During that same time, the number of female construction workers also doubled. More female homeowners means there is more maintenance and repairs being performed by women. And, with more women in building than ever before, it's no surprise that the sale of power tools last Mothers' Day was as high as it was on Fathers' Day. Picking out gifts for mothers and daughters, wives, nieces and grandmothers just got a whole lot easier. Cordless drill anyone? And that's the On The House tip for today.
