I had to laugh at this one. I had bought a set of tools for my classroom several years ago. They came in a pink tool box and had pink handles. One day the male teacher across the hall was in my room and saw me using the pink hammer and teased me about it. A few days later, though, he came to my room and sheepishly asked if he could borrow my pink hammer! It became a joke between the two of us, although he eventually brought his own hammer to school.
Now I have that pink tool case in my sewing studio, although my DH is great about loaning me his tools and fixing things around the house. He, too, is an engineer, so I can relate to alll the engineer posts, too. My dad was an engineer, too, so I grew up with "it".
