Default Pink Hammers

Not all woodworkers are men. I may go and get one for my daughter.

I stopped by Ace Hardware today to pick up a few small items. As I was
checking out I was surprised to see a display of PINK HAMMERS on the
counter! Apparently it is some kind of breast cancer thing. I asked about
them and was told that there was more pink tools coming. I asked if they
sold any of them and was told two.

I can't imagine this being any kind product that many people would buy. I
think of it almost as a gag item. Anyway, I was a little puzzled by the
whole thing. I know that women in the trades will paint their tools to keep
them from being stolen. But this was no hammer for anybody in the trades.
It was consumer, light weight model.

Maybe it is some kinda publicity thing with the tie in to the breast cancer
research. Would you buy a pink hammer? Not me.
