These companies are missing a market

It occurred to me this morning that Ryobi and Makita could be making a lot more money, and I don't mean by selling their items in pink, floral designs. If you've ever been inside a Home Depot, you know that Ryobi & Makita are top names in hand tools. They sell manly things to manly men. Think mitre saws and drill presses. But it could be so much more! Here are a few ideas:

The Footsie Line:
Footsie Rasps - Carpenters know that the best way to remove excess wood from curved surfaces is with a sharp toothed rasp. What better way to file down those thick, crusty heels than with woodworker's tools? Now made with non-corrosive materials, the Footsie rasp will restore your scaly hooves to the demure pink pads you remember from high school. Your delicate sandals can come out of the back of the closet!

Footsie Orbital sander - Do you run pantyhose just by sliding them past your ankles? Does your man complain that playing footsie with you ruins the shine on his shoes? If your feet are more like granite blocks than silk purses try the Footsie orbital sander. Our sanding discs have patented Pumice Stone technology. Unlike conventional methods you can quickly smooth those rough spots and callouses instead of spending 3 hours in the bathroom with a cheese grater pilfered from the kitchen.

Special offer: For holiday parties buy the Footsie orbital sander today, and try our special SofSkin package. This incredible deal includes five Foot-B-smooth discs and 3 Babysof DermAbrasion discs. Babysof discs are not intended for use on the delicate skin near your eyes.

Beauty Line:

Torquing Vice-grip tweezers.
Ordinary tweezers slide off coarse chin hairs. These powerful vice grips hold on to the toughest stubble ends, and the special torque bar adds extra leverage to pull out even the most stubborn whiskers.


Of course, these tools might sell better with pink floral handles.
