What do you think?

I think you need to give her the Skeletool. My daughter agrees.   :assimilate:

Welllll... from my experience women do think "differently" sometimes and she might have had other things in mind than you  :D

On a side note, our daugther snatched my only Juice I had and she loves it  :tu:

I don't know. Skeletool bites a lot. And it's pointy. She has some ADHD and she's often careless.

She'll find a lot of use for the scissors too. She's sewing stuff and we got her a Pfaff seeing machine when she finished high-school. Now she's an industrial designer and she is making things. She's deep into ceramics but tried all traditional materials, including wool knitting.

I’d say definitely get her a tool then.  If not the Skeletool, maybe a LM PS style or Squirt; smaller form factor and pointy/pinchy but still useful tools.

I think the juice is a perfect fit. I think it brings more versatility and is more compact than the Skeletool. If she ends up wanting one then you can work you way towards it. She may think it's neat the Skeletool can connect to a belt loop
