LOL Maybe you should paint the handle pink & flowery! Would that help keep him from taking it?
No, my tools have purple and pink flowers on them and they keep turning up on hubbys workbench. He says mine were easier to find. Duh!! If you put things away after you use them they are easier to find. My hammer has red nail polish around the handle, (and is missing) and my tool box is purple. I still can't locate my screw drivers, but he knows nothing.
Oh, Miss Mona - - are you talking about your DH or mine? I've tried EVERYTHING to keep him away from my tools. HE bought ME my own tool box years ago so that "Now you won't be asking me everytime you need a nail or a screwdriver". Yeah right. Now I have to ask him where MY nails or screwdrivers are!!! Just the other day I texted him the following: WHERE'S MY TAPE MEASURE????? So he phones me and denies all knowledge and tells me to use "something else" to measure. Arrrggg.... like WHAT?
He knows where to find my stuff because I put it away when I'm finished with it. Why oh why can't he do the same? Another arrrgggg.
but I do love the guy.....
I've had mine over 40 years and nothing has changed. What I have done is bought an extra 25' tape measurer, and extra needle nose pliers and have hidden them in my things. These are the ones I use the most. My extra hammer and screw drivers are missing. I used them and he saw me and borrowed them right away. Now they are missing. Now when he asks where something is I say in my tool box. Last time, he said it wasn't there. I said "Gee, someone must have used it and not put it back. I haven't touched my tool box for ages. My tool box is so empty you wouldn't know it was a tool box.
