They must have had some training on how to hold these power tools. She wears this drill on her imaginary holster. She was a model and fitness queen who obviously got this gig as a Makita girl! 1992 Makita Power Tool Girl – It’s All The Power You Need! 1993 Page Langton – Makita Power Tool Girl: No date on this poster but when combined with the rest, my guess is early 80s and that’s because of the 70s vibe that it still has. That’s a big drill for such a little lady! Early 80s Rainbow Bathing Suit: We all recognize this decade from the hair alone but when combined with the high cut bathing suit, it’s a classic 80s girl look! 1987 Makita Power Tool Girl: These days, people are less likely to be swayed into purchasing these tools based on these posters alone but don’t forget that they doubled as calendars so that they served a purpose on the walls of any man’s garage or shop for an entire year! Now, let’s start with some of these posters from the 80s: 1986 Calendar Poster Pin Up Tool Girl – Makita Also, there’s nothing about these posters which indicates the quality of the tool but for whatever reason, that did not matter. Obviously, these women were far from inclined to use any of these tools themselves and when you take a look at some of these posters, you will see how ridiculous they look posing with some of them. Apparently, these women were chosen to be the official (sexy) representatives (models) for these companies and were often present at trade shows, signing their posters for the men who used these tools. Many of these posters were double sided and one of them even has a signature from the Tool Girl featured on the white bikini poster. Vintage Tool Girl Calendars From the 80s & 90s
So, the best that I could do was photograph them and preserve them here on. I’ve searched the internet and found only a few of these hot babes (who apparently enjoyed being in a bikini while operating their industrial strength power tools and equipment…) which makes this the largest collection that you will find, in one place, online.Įven so, there’s no real preservation going on with these posters as they were all well worn with holes due to being placed and replaced on the walls of one man’s garage over the course of 30 years.
Well, we haven’t seen these posters in a while! These, in particular, are the remains of a “man cave” that were evidently taken down when the wife decided that enough was enough! Reluctantly, he let them all go for one price at a yard sale! That was how I got my hands on a ton of posters that will probably never be seen again.
