My Tool Box
Have your own tool box for in the house. When ever I needed a tool I had to go out to the garage and get one of my husbands. If I forgot to put it back, I heard about it. So, I went and bought myself an inexpensive tool box. Then every so often I would buy some basic tools to put in it. I keep the tool box in the house in the pantry. Now, hubby knows better then to touch "MY" tools.

Mark "Your" Tools
I've heard that marking "your" tools somehow with something pink will help keep them separate from your husband's tools!

Fishing Tackle Box
A small fishing tackle box does an excellent job of serving as a small in-house toolbox. I've had one for many years and love it. My husband knows that any tools in that box are strictly hands-off for him, unless I loan them to him.

Small Handy Tool Box
Put together a small tool box for making minor repairs around the house. Fill it with the essentials: hammer, screw drivers, a chisel, pliers, scissors, a small level, a tape measure and anything else you find yourself needing frequently. Keep it in a safe convenient place and make sure all the tools and the tool box is put away when it's done being used.

I also have my own toolbox. I bought a bright red one at the hardware store and adorned it with bright 'girly' stickers. I also wrapped the handles of all my tools with bright pink and purple electrical tape so that my husband wouldn't use them. Hee hee. I always know where my tools are and he comes and asks me if he wants to borrow. I can also pad lock it if necessary.
I made both my adult daughters similar boxes for Christmas and put in a set of basic tools for each. They love them!

i received one of these from my ever-practical father for a christmas gift when i went away to college and had my own apartment for the first time. he would give me his cast-off tools. i was so proud i had it b/c i didn't have to rely on my male neighbor friends for every little repair. as i became more adept at fixing things, i would ask for special tools for christmas and birthday gifts. i think my dad got a kick out of buying them for me and showing me how to use them. might make a good gift for a new grad or newlyweds and single mom's too.

RE: Household Tool Box
This is a great tip. I've had my own tool box for years.....seems my hubby even got me some of the tools as stocking stuffers years ago. Besides the typical screwdrivers and such, I also keep a small hammer and small nails so that I might hang pictures w/o having to wait on my hubby to do it! Also a tape measure is handy in your box too....oh and needle nose pliars come in real handy.
