    No pink tools By CRAILLE MAGUIRE GILLIES, The Globe and Mail
    What does every mother want? An ergonomically designed, lightweight power drill, of course

    Indeed, you could argue that the feminization of the market has improved quality overall. The new trends in power tools include slimmer, more lightweight options and ergonomic modifications like gel-padded handles and rubber grips. Cordless drills come with built-in levels and magnets to hold screws. And, of course, they now come with keyless chucks, which means you can change drill bits without having to find that little L-shaped thingie.
