78% of women ‘handy at DIY’
Men may need to start taking DIY advice from their female partners after a new study revealed 78 per cent of women are happy to do home improvement tasks.
Research by Bosch Power Tools showed 72 per cent of people in Britain believe women are good at DIY because they are more patient than their opposite sex.
Chris Tidy, home improvement expert with the organisation, said the survey shows the gender gap in DIY is beginning to shorten.
"Men are traditionally driven by a desire to fix things to display their authority," he explained. "It's interesting to see that women are using DIY instead as a way to express creativity."
According to the statistics, more than two-thirds of women cited financial reasons as their primary motive for picking up the power tools.
This is despite Halifax Home Insurance claiming last month that around 50 per cent of under-35s are unable to do basic DIY tasks such as wiring a plug.
