There are plenty of "wives" who buy and use big tools, too! Not only that, but they KNOW how to operate them! Chuckle, chuckle.

So I'm in Home Depot yesterday, I need a drill because I need to drill six pilot holes to put hardware on my kitchen cabinets. And I pick up this $24 corded Royce drill and this guy next to me, covered in drywall dust with kneepads and goggles around his face, hair sticking out from his yellow hard hat looks over and says "Buying a drill for your wife?" I immediately dropped it like it was a spider and grabbed a 36 volt Hilti TE 6-A Rotary Hammer drill with a $1,059 sticker price, gave him a "what the hell are you talking about kemosabe?" look and edged sideways out of the tool corral shouting "hey, I'm building a four room extension. Last weekend I built a freakin sixty foot SAILBOAT out of TEAK." So I drilled my six pilot holes. Thinking I might drill something else in again in a couple of years if the mood strikes me. I think this is EXACTLY how I ended up with my leica....
