Though a toolbox is sometimes viewed as a grown man’s toy box, the reality is that women also need to be able to identify and use basic tools.
I was blessed with a father who imparted much of this knowledge to me as I was growing up, but I know many women who didn’t have this experience. They sometimes feel tentative when sorting through the oddly shaped objects in a toolbox! If this describes you, then you will likely find the following overview to be very helpful.

These are the basic tools that I use most often. Are there others that you use frequently? Which would you add to this list?

This is just what I need! My husband is a real tool-man, but I’m clueless, and now he is getting out four-year-old son involved. Your explanations are really helpful. Thanks for sharing with the Blog Fair.
