I've never seen a female customer in there, though. It's a guy
place, for sure.

Hint: Leave a coupon for HF on her sewing machine.

I just looked through the latest catalog. There's not much in it
that would appeal to her. Or many women. What do you suggest
would be useful to her?

My wife is a DIY'er, but she can ruin a good tool in no time at all.
I have bought her HF tools - screwdrivers, ploiers, etc so that mine
do not get damaged by mis-use (screwdriver for a pry bar, etc)

Freshly sharpened wood chisel as screwdriver . . . (-:

I also keep HF tools around as loaners to neighbors who have also
shown in the past they don't know the correct use of hand tools and a
few power tools as well. I keep them in a tool box that is easily
seen when one enters my garage. I call it my loaner box.

I only lend tools if I come with them and leave with them. I hate being a
hard ass but I hate getting back a ruined tool even more. Or not getting it
back at all. But it's something to consider. I didn't see much of anything
that would impress my wife at HF. I'm the DIY'er here. She's the
occasional "keep your finger here" and "shine the light there" person. (-:
