So we had the conversation about pink gadgets. Well today amongst some rather random e-mails I came across this cordless power drill, in amongst a lot of other tech gadgets from Aria Technology. They always have lots of fun gadgets and I get a regular update of their latest deals. This one however I particularly liked.

There was no messing. Straight to the point with the usage, and requirements. No comment on the colour (only one link to this tool being aimed at the women… “Handy Mandy”). I actually thought, hey this is quite a cute and cool tool to have around! I’m seriously tempted to get one for in the office. (I have a fair bit of hardware around that’s all…) Although I know I would get ribbed by the guys in the office for the colour.

I really don’t like all the corded drills and tools, they are just so clunky and heavy so to find a small, light and reasonably strong tool (assuming the plastic is up to the job) I think it would be one of my fun but geeky tools.

The funny thing is this actually reminded me of one of the girls who was at the Women’s Enterprise Ambassadors day. Hafida Sarachi founder of Handy Girl, set up her company as a result of poor workmanship and dodgy tradesmen. At the event she brough with her her very own hard hat. (pink of course…. cringe!) But the purple power tool would fit with the idea quite nicely if it’s up to the job… Maybe I should send over the link to her and get her to review the tool… (we’ll see, she’s probably very busy with work but it’s worth asking. )
