IDEAL Tools Support Women in Construction: with Jill of Trades Promotion

March 13, 2026

Empowering women in the trades starts with opportunity, and the right support behind it.

Across job sites and workshops, women are building strong, successful careers in the skilled trades. E.B. Horsman & Son have proudly partnered with IDEAL Industries for our Jill of Trades promotion, celebrating the women shaping our industry and helping equip them with the tools and confidence to keep moving forward.

From apprentices to experienced electricians, women across Canada are building successful careers in construction, electrical, and skilled trades. IDEAL is committed to equipping every professional with reliable, job-tested electrical tools that deliver performance, safety, and confidence on site.

Why IDEAL Electrical Tools Stand Out

For over a century, IDEAL has manufactured professional-grade electrical tools trusted by contractors across North America. Their focus on innovation and durability makes them a staple in tool bags on residential, commercial, and industrial job sites.

Whether you’re just starting your apprenticeship or managing large-scale projects, IDEAL tools are built to perform in demanding environments.

Enter the Jill of Trades Giveaway to Win IDEAL Tools

To celebrate women in the trades and IDEAL’s dedication to supporting a stronger workforce, E.B. Horsman is excited to bring back the Jill of Trades giveaway. If you’re a woman in the trades, complete the form below for your chance to win one of four IDEAL tools.

Winners will be contacted March 26th.
