With a passionate dream of giving women the opportunity for a hands-on education, quality tools, and a fun way to earn money from home, 3 highly-skilled women committed to DIY projects launched Tomboy Tools in 2000. Starting with A modest 1,000 square foot facility in Denver Colorado, the Tomboy Tools facility has grown to 13,000 square feet with expansion into Canada and the United Kingdom.
Their mission is to empower women and give them the confidence to do their own projects using quality tools designed for a woman’s hand and the opportunity to build a business in the process. Tomboy Tools’ motto is learn, teach and build. Learn the required skills. Teach the skills to other women. Build forever empowering future generations from the foundations built by mothers and grandmothers.
In 2002, they wisely borrowed from the house party business model and launched their own version of a house party appropriately named “Tool Party.” Tool Party’s goal is to bring together women in a relaxed, non-threatening environment who want to learn how to do their own projects and introduce them to the Tomboy Tools business opportunity.
Some of the skills taught at a tool party include:
Basic knowledge of tools.
Proper use of hand and power tools.
painting methods
tile installation
Dry wall repair
plumbing methods
Home Trim Installation

Like most advanced MLM companies, Tomboy Tools offers its clients and consultants a monthly newsletter containing inspirational words from founder/CEO Janet Rickstew, monthly tool specials, how-to tips, and the latest corporate information. In a recent newsletter, Tomboy Tools announced that they will be rolling out a new website in the coming months that will be of great benefit to their MLM business partners. The website will contain the following:
Administrative business management tools
Order Placement
Management of customer information
social media tools
digital product catalog
Tomboy Tools is not only passionate about empowering people, they are also passionate about supporting the following charities:
Official Sponsor of Avon Walk For Breast Cancer
For every pink hammer sold, $7.00 is donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
Habitat for Humanity (women have been known to band together and build houses themselves)
Girl Scouts of America
Anyone looking for MLM business opportunities should seriously consider Tomboy tools. They have clearly established themselves in a niche market. Even with the shaky economy, they have the potential for substantial growth in the years to come. A recent report released by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University indicates that homeowners plan to invest in their homes and spend professionals whenever possible and do the work themselves.
However, there is a major drawback, like most MLM companies, the old school of marketing is still taught today, such as “make a list of everyone you know”. The problem with the list building technique is that eventually you run out of people to contact and find yourself wasting time chasing people.
The best marketing strategy used today allows you to attract people to your opportunity without making lists, annoying your friends and family, or cold calling. To find out more, click the link below:
