With a passionate dream of providing women with the opportunity for hands on education, quality tools and a fun way to earn money from home, 3 highly skilled women committed to Do-It-Yourself Projects launched Tomboy Tools in 2000. Starting with a modest 1,000 sq ft facility in Denver Colorado, the Tomboy Tools facility has grown to 13,000 sq ft with expansion to Canada and the United Kingdom.
Their mission is to empower women and give them the self-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 to Learn, Teach and build. Learn the required skills. Teach the skills to other women. Build forever by empowering future generations from the foundation built by mothers and grandmothers.
In 2002 they wisely borrowed from the home party business model and launched their own version of a house party properly named "Tool Party". The goal of the Tool Party is to bring women together in a relaxed non threatening environment that desire 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 tool knowledge
· Proper use of hand and power tools
· Painting methods
· Installing tile
· Drywall repair
· Plumbing methods
· Installing household trim
Think of the tools in a tool-box: there is a hammer, pliers, a saw, a screwdriver, a rule, a glue-pot, nails and screws.—The function of words are as diverse as the functions of these objects.
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

In a recent newsletter Tomboy Tools announced in the coming months they will be implementing a new website that will be a huge benefit to their MLM business partners.

The study of tools as well as of books should have a place in the public schools. tools, machinery, and the implements of the farm should be made familiar to every boy, and suitable industrial education should be furnished for every girl.
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
· Customer information management
· Social networking tools
· Digital product catalog
Not only is Tomboy Tools passionate about empowering people, they are equally passionate about supporting the following charities:
· Official sponsor of Avon Walk For Breast Cancer
· For each pink hammer sold, $7.00 is donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

· Girl Scouts of America
Anyone researching MLM business opportunities has to seriously consider Tomboy Tools. They have clearly established themselves in a niche market. Even with the unstable economy they have the potential for substantial growth in the coming years. A recent report released by the Joint Center of Housing Studies at Harvard University indicates that home owners are planning to invest in their homes and by passing professionals whenever possible and doing the work themselves.
There is however a major draw back, like most MLM companies the old school of marketing is still being taught today, Such as "make a list of everyone you know". The problem with the list building technique you eventually run out of people to contact and you find yourself wasting your time chasing after people.
The best marketing strategy used today enables you attract people to your opportunity without making lists, pestering your friends and family or cold calling.
