Barbara K! BK24214 30-Piece Signature Tool Kit

Everyone needs a basic tool set for projects like fixing leaks, hanging picture frames, or patching drywall. This fabulous 30-piece tool kit from Barbara K is designed specifically for women and is a great option for the average do-it-yourselfer. Whether you're searching for a gift or you're buying your first tool kit, Barbara K's package is ideal.

One problem women often have with standard tools is that they're too big and too heavy. Barbara K Enterprises is unique among tool companies because its products are made to suit women's ergonomic needs. For instance, the handles on most tools are slimmer than usual and many of the tools weigh less than comparable items from other manufacturers. In addition, Barbara K pliers have spring-loaded handles and the screwdrivers have special thumb rests. The philosophy is simple: Women shouldn’t be deterred from using tools just because the tools aren't user-friendly.

You might think that shrinking certain tools and putting extra moving parts on others would diminish quality. Wrong. The superior quality of the products is reason enough to buy them. These tools are built to last, and will stand to some serious abuse. Don’t be surprised if the tool snob in the house decides to start using these babies on a regular basis. Guys, these tools are good! Still, what makes them stand out is their ease of use. For example, think for a second about how hard it is on your wrist and forearm to pound nails for an afternoon with a 16-ounce hammer. By reducing the weight of its hammer to 7 ounces and slimming down the handle, Barbara K has enabled you to swing harder and longer. If that doesn’t convince you, imagine this scenario: It’s December and your hose is frozen to the water spigot. You desperately need to get it off, but you just can’t squeeze the pliers for hard enough to force a good twist. Enter Barbara K's spring-loaded pliers. With these, holding tight is a cakewalk!

Another really cool thing about the set is the stylish blue plastic carrying case. We're impressed by the compact size and love how it helps you store your tools in an orderly fashion. No more rummaging through the closet or the shed! As long as you remember...
