Be a Jill of All Trades

You aren’t waiting for Jack to start nesting – and neither are millions of other women. According to The National Association of Realtors, single women make up 22 percent of the U.S. real-estate market.

So how will you hang all photographs of you bungee jumping off that cliff in New Zealand, measure the space for your new plush coach, and assemble your coffee table in your new condo? With your new tool kit! Sorry ladies, the day you take out a mortgage is the day you stop calling your fix it guy any time you see the words “assembly required.”

And you’ll want to start assembling and fixing (and perhaps building) when you get your hands on the Think Pink Tool Set.

The tool set comes with everything you need – pliers, 5 combination wrenches, a utility blade, nails, screws, and a tape measure.

But what the heck is a 5 combination wrench? We aren’t going to leave you in the lurch. Go visit Tool Girls. They’ll help you decipher terms like dry wall and reciprocating saw with a fine-toothed blade. Tool Girls is an online community where women can ask questions about all things tool-related. Their only disclaimer is: “We’re not here to show you how to do every project – we’re here to show you that you CAN do every project.”

That sure sounds better than “Where’s Jack?”
