"Tomboy Tools launched its power tool line in April of 2003, with a
9.6v cordless power drill manufactured by Porter-Cable/Delta.
According to Wilson, this tool was on the back shelf at
Porter-Cable/Delta?it was a bit small for men. Then the two companies
collaborated, and realized the drill would be a perfect fit for the
burgeoning market of female tool users."

Barbra K manufactures her own tools?

An is Porter Delta the only supplier for Toimboy tools?

Clarification of Answer by bobbie7-ga on 08 Aug 2005 11:22 PDT
mi2mia,

Unfortunately I was not able to locate any information about the
manufacturer for Barbara K or if in fact they manufacture their own
tools.
No additional information is available for Tomboy Tools either.
Private companies do not ususally disclose this type of information.
