This troper is one. Given she owns the Alleged Scooter Bike, she had a little choice: become one or enjoy an immobile piece of plastic and metal junk in her backyard. Now she has to replace that damn cylinder head and put a gasket between the cylinder and the muffler to make that piece of crap running perfectly again...

One of these works at my local motorcycle shop. I have to stop myself from spending every waking minute there, otherwise I'd never get anything done.

This troper has noticed a fair few pretty ladies in the running department (drivers, firemen and cleaners) of the preserved railway he works at, despite the fact that nothing on earth gets you dirtier than cleaning a steam engine, and despite having what a friend called a "Steam Train Fetish"

I don't, honest! It's purely a platonic thing.

Where is this place? It sounds like heaven to me.

This troper's sister is one. This is unsurprising, since she's pretty much a brunette Winry Rockbell.

This troper does theatre tech. She got to confuse the boys at her church by knowing what a Leatherman was (since she's been ogling them online for a couple years now).

She's been ogling what?

Leatherman is the name of a company mostly known for creating multi-tools. They're like the American version of Swiss Army Knives.

Is it wrong that I interpreted that as "ogling the boys from church online for a couple years now"?

This troper has a friend who looks REALLY cute with a wrench and goggles. Then again, she's pretty much a gnome.

She has a beard?

This troper is one. The topper on her Christmas list? A HelloKitty chainsaw. It even has gold lettering that says LOVE on the blade. Precious.

No effing way! Where do I get that?!

One of this troper's friends definitely qualifies, given that she builds bicycles from scrap parts and spends a good deal of time repairing her alleged truck. This troper herself isn't one most of the time, but she has her moments. Mostly in the theatre. Putting up and painting sets and hanging lights is ''fun''.

This troper's current girlfriend's sister is one. After coming out as gay to her dad, he decided that if she wasn't going to have a man in her life, she was going to need to know how to fix stuff herself. He's a heavy duty mechanic who owns a trucking business. She demasculates me in all things mechanical and outdoes her sister in a dress and make-up. I really hope my girlfriend isn't a Troper...

Does carpentry count? I'm reasonably competent with mechanics (mostly bike repair), but I'm pretty good at woodworking, if I say so myself. Helps that my dad is a carpenter, and I grew up around it.

Most of the ladies in my family are this trope. My grandma, who looks like a perfectly dignified lady(especially when she's wearing her MinkCoat)is often seen with a wrench and a hammer. My aunt and me are both tomboys, though the geeky kind, and we both love woodworking(and are pretty good at it). Even though my mum is the Girly Girl to my aunt's tomboy, she won't let my dad fix stuff in our house. And my aunt's wife, who has worked as a carpenter, car repairer and is currently a stonemason, probably beats us all.

My ex-girlfriend is a gorgeous, BuxomIsBetter Army mechanic, constantly covered with grease and dirt smears after work, regularly drops {{ClusterFBomb}}s, and can keep up with most male Infantry soldiers when it comes to ball-busting. Pretty incredible, while it lasted. - Martello

I officially declare myself full of envy.

You shouldn't be - it's over now. Luckily, post-deployment leave and the women of Tel Aviv await. - Martello

This troper is a lighting techie for her school theater organization and is never without her 8 inch crescent wrench in her backpack (and will use it if you get in her way)

One of my female friends in high school took auto shop for 3 years, then became a mechanic in the Army.

My niece may also turn into one, what with having my brother as her dad. One of her first toys was a toy chainsaw.

This troper's ex/BFF is the cutest 5'6 girl you'd ever see; bouncy, full of energy and adorable one-liners, and best friends with everyone, including people she's just met. She's also been taught how to repair cars ever since she was 5 and is a better mechanic than this troper could ever be.

This troper is known for being the resident MacGyver at her workplace. When things break, she is summoned. The workplace being what it is (a store that sells handcrafts from around the world), she doesn't use a wrench so much as she uses things like glue, sandpaper, jewelry pliers, and twine - but her success rate of repairs is around 98%. Her coworkers will sometimes bring things in that they break at ''home'' for her to fix. And because she's a ''FullmetalAlchemist'' fan, she took a cue from Winry and purchased a magnifying visor to help her see what she's doing more clearly...the apparatus is known throughout the store staff as, simply, "the Rockbell."
