Many women are convinced that if there is no man present around the house, then the tasks and repairs requiring power tools will be left untouched. Well, set the excuses aside ladies. Household repair is made easy with a few cool tools to help us out! Starting with the Barbara K. Powerlite cordless drill, this tool has the precision of any other drill, but a few helpful elements to help women out a little! The removable battery can be clipped to your belt, leaving the tool weighing a whole two pounds less! This makes repairs that are difficult to reach a little easier on the body.

For the general home user, Black and Decker tools seem to have the better reviews due to low cost, comfort, and accessibility. The Black and Decker 3.6 Volt Rechargeable 3-Position Screwdriver is recognized for its control, comfortable grip, slim nose for tight spaces, accessibility from forward to reverse functions, and of course, the ability to change its angle. Plus, for only $20 at Home Depot (or $22 on the B&D website), this handy little tool is an easy purchase for multiple screw repairs.

One of my personal favorites, the Powermate Stroke Air Hammer has been so helpful with so many different tasks. Whether it’s cutting, chipping, piercing, or scraping, this little tool is only five pounds and has a BPM of 5000 (blows per minute). I found this gadget very reliable when I was taking off some old wallpaper in my bathroom! The scraping function worked perfectly!

All in all, ladies, don’t feel discouraged or uncapable of performing the small household repairs, just because they require a power tool. Change it up a bit, surprise your man, (or yourself!), and make Tim the Tool Man proud!
