I think Makita has one of those as well and I’ve read stories from supposedly¹ cis-male construction workers being super happy with those sets, because finally everyone else stopped stealing all their shit.

¹ I mean: We all know how this goes: You buy it because you’re an egg and you justify it with indisputable, rational advantages to other people. I mean, that is just what I hear; I totally would never have done that myself. 😉︎

Sadly most pink colored tools are just just cheep crap. but there are exceptions like for example the Makita drill, but even the Makita drill is sadly not available with 18v batteries(with most other makita tools use). qwq Makita if your reading this MAKE A 18V PINK DRILL!!!!!!!
