Bangor Daily News:
“Being the only one in Maine has its advantages and disadvantages,†said Gormely, who has been with Tomboy almost 11 months. “Disadvantages in that I’m it and I have to do all, but I also have all the potential sales and if they (Tomboy) get any leads on, I’m it as far as contacts.â€
Tomboy Tools was started as an online store in 2000 by three women – Sue Wilson, Janet Rickstrew and Mary Tatum – and became a Web-based direct-selling business in 2004.
“The first time I heard of it was a couple years ago through a friend of mine, who heard about it on the Today Show,†recalled Gormely, whose day job is as an administrative assistant at Tyler Technologies. “This is right up my alley because I was looking for a part-time job and this is perfect because I can make my own hours and be my own boss. Plus I’m a single homeowner and do a lot of fix-up and maintenance things around my house all the time.â€
Tomboy Tools specializes in hand and power tools designed exclusively for use by women.
“They’re lighter weight and also ergonomically designed for a woman’s smaller hand,†said Kelly Bell, Tomboy’s director of marketing and consumer relations. “They’re also about being convenient and utilizing a smart approach.â€
