Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated with workmen’s tools. There is something very appealing about their shiny appearance and usefulness. Of course the first tools I got acquainted with were the hammer, screwdriver and wrench. These were among the tools that the carpenter would bring when he was summoned to fix something in the apartment. However, as I grew older, I discovered that there are all kinds of tools and the tools I was acquainted with in my childhood had cousins that are more technically advanced. There are air tools, cordless power tools, electric power tools, etc. Since a man is only as good as his tools then I guess he also had to innovate and improve his apparatus to cope with the new demands of a technologically driven society.
