Black and Decker is female weekend warrior tier.

They advertise to their customers.

Women use drills to turn their dildos.

Ok so let me start with some back story: I always wanted to own a drill.

So anyway today I bought this drill set:

It's pretty sweet actually. The Father in law told me about it. He gave me some older drills he had and I broke them both but now I finally own my own reliable drill with all the accessories. It went on sale for 70 bucks and today was the last day of the sale and I HAD to get it

Got it home but excitement waned upon further inspection:

I don't know why there's a picture of a lady using a drill. I got this at Canadian tire and it's no woman's drill but I feel like I bought a feminine product. Men is the primary market so why would they have this picture on the box. When women buy a curling iron there's not a picture of a man curling himself. I would be less embarrassed if the picture was of a big buff shirtless dude putting in drill work. And why is she drilling a board over her siding? What is she up to

But hey check it out

$150 value and I got all these do dats and whats its - gunna be a good time. I went in the basement to play with it and put random screws in places just cause I could.

That’s the same drill I have! I don’t remember a woman on the packaging though, maybe that’s a Canadia-exclusive thing

Clippy, dont let your insecurities get in the way, it's unmanly. If you're a man then you dont need a male model who knows nothing about home improvement to pose on a box to prove it.

Now go lift some weights.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

They’re trying to convey the idea that it’s a woman’s drill and that men who buy it are bitches. Personally, I think they should have men on boxes of tampons.











The same men who bought that drill.

 

[hillelslovak87]

Women can use drills too you sexist pig

You are confusing can with should.

You bought the girl version, this means you're a giant sissy Clippy. And you have small wrists

I got sent the most outrageous marketing from a hardware company a few months back.

Every image had a girl in it *somewhere*, and they were only wearing body paint.

We thought eventually after 20 pages that we found an image without one of the girls in it, but eventually realised there was a reflection of one doing a retarded pose in the reflection of a tape measure. It was like hardware smut, sent as legit corporate correspondence.

I'll try to get my colleagues to send me a copy, though I'll have a fun time explaining why.

Look at all the " SUBSTANCE " in this Goddamn thread. If there was anymore I might shit out of sheer awe.

[Prefect]

Damnit Clippy.

A. DeWalt
B. Makita
C. Choose A or B.

No love for Milwaukee?

 

[dog y]

Once you go black... Ive only ever owned a Makita.
Im only half japanese too.

 

[west42]

I didnt know you could buy B&D somewhere besides a yard sale.

 

[The Hash Slinging Slasher]

Black and decker is a ladies drill.

 

[90 50]

As everyone has covered already, b+w while they used to be a respectable mans brand in the 1700’s , has become the single woman’s hardware at Walmart, target , etc etc.

Men buy dewalt, Milwaukee or Makita.

 

[90 50]

20V is a lot. I have an 18V and do a lot of work with it. 20V is for the contractors.

Voltage doesn’t mean shit , it’s about amperage to make power.

It’s marketing shit. I guarantee my old ass 18v dewalt is stronger. And the old ass 14v dewalt before that was too.

 

[Thai Domi]

Should've gone with Dewalt, you .

A stun gun might by 50,000 volts but it isn't able to run my fridge. Amps do work.

And any weekend warrior should probably look out for Ryobi deals. They will outperform any thing in their price range and outperform any douche who thinks he needs contractor grade tools.

I worked on construction sites for over ten years.

Think of it this way:

Black & Decker tools are not meant to do anything , except the lightest of light duty tasks and event then they are totally crap. Once upon a time, they used to make decent tools but now they just make stuff destined straight for the recycling center. It's a zombie brand, i.e. owned by Stanley tools, and made in China. It's their lowest quality brand. Stanley also owns DeWalt , which is ok, but their quality has gone down since production moved to China.
