Though you might think of men when you hear about power tools, these are something women should have as well. Though a lady might not have any need for a jackhammer or a jigsaw, there are some that can be very useful. Every woman should have a few of these things, and they should know how to use them. Nothing says independence like the ability to fix your own stuff, or to hang things in your home on your own without any assistance.
Power tools can be a bit daunting if you have never held one and used one. They are certainly nothing to be scared of for the most part, but a little uncertainty is actually a good thing. This means that the person picking up the power tools for the first time will be very safe with them. Those who seem to think they don't have anything to worry about are often the ones who end up screwing their hand to the wall, or ever worse, cutting off a few fingers. Power tools should generally not be in the hands of children for those reasons, but teenagers can safely learn to use some of them with the proper guidance of their mother, father, or other trusted adult.
Women might want to have, at the very least, a few power tools in their home. One important one would be a screw gun. Though they can certainly use a screw driver for just about anything they need to do, having one with some power behind it will make jobs easier and will yield better results. I know personally that when I use a screw gun there are things that come right out when I have tried and tried to remove them with a hand screw driver. They are quick, and they are very easy to learn about and use.
Though some women will never have a use for their own circular saw, they should know how to use one. These can open the door for all types of great projects that they would normally have to hire someone to do. While I wouldn't recommend anyone without building knowledge try to add an addition to their home, there is no reason why someone couldn't get power tools and build a dog house or even a small shed. The circular saw is a bit dangerous, but it is also very useful. Not only that, but just the knowledge that someone can use one can be a great self-confidence builder.
