Are these savvy marketers cashing in on all the women who are sick and tired of the all-too-frequent it’s-easier-to-do-it-myself-than-to-wait-any-longer-for-some-guy- to-help delay? Maybe, or maybe there's something to the notion that many women are simply becoming more independent. Whatever the reason, both home improvement chains estimate that half of all purchases in their stores now are made by women.
Hmm. Wonder which power tools are the hottest sellers?
