Household Tool Box

By Karen. (Guest Post)

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 HAVE A SMALL PLASTIC FISHING BOX FOR MY TOOL BOX AND MY HUBBY BOUGHT ME TOOLS THAT WERE NEON IN COLOR SO I ALWAYS KNOW WHICH ONES ARE MINE

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.

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.
