Created by glamorous construction manager Barbara K who wanted "to make women feel as if tools are like an accessory", the kits come in little blue carry cases and include miniature sized, light weight tools and a step by step guides on how to do a multitude of tasks that would make even Handy Andy jealous.

And, although the tools are designed to fit smaller hands, they have all the quality you would expect from a heavy-duty tool. In fact, word on the street has it that the power tool range (not available in the UK) double up nicely as heavy duty bedroom tools, too.

If the hardest task your delicately manicured hands face is to furiously pounce the keys in late night Excel spreadsheet workouts, these tools might come in handy.

The barbara k! 30-piece Do It Yourself Tool Kit, Roadside Safety Kit and Hang It Up Kit, now available from Selfridges and Amazon.co.uk
