This rather surprising posting showed up at Women in Woodworking, and fit right into the “Think Pink” theme of this issue's Websurfer's Review. I thought that some of you might be interested in my product: A heavy-duty suede leather tool belt in PINK! I don't want to post "spam" so I hope that this doesn't come across that way... Just thought there might be some "Women in Woodworking" who might like my idea! Thanks... Kellie

While prowling the Internet message boards, I came upon a posting about pink tool belts. I included it in last issue’s WebSurfers’ Review, just in time for Valentine’s Day. It sparked enough interest that I thought I’d delve a bit further and find out what was behind, and in front of, this unlikely offering. Pink Tool Belt.

Behind it is a woman named Kellie Reamer, a self-taught contractor who was buying “fixer-upper” homes and restoring them for resale. Frustrated with the tool belts she was forced to work with, she developed her own.

“Men’s tool belts are made bigger,” Kellie said, “and the pockets sit too far forward. I was looking for a smaller, lighter weight tool belt that would fit well on my hips.” The ones she found in women’s sizes and shapes were typically canvas or nylon, not the heavy-duty leather she wanted. She designed a high quality pink tool belt tailored to fit a woman’s profile. With that, GIRLGEAR Industries™ was born.
