Today is National Worship of Tools Day. . .

The love of tools goes back just about as far as humankind, and Time the Toolman Taylor is a part of our very earliest existence. Whether you are inside or out, if your are in the trades or just a homeowner or even renting, tools make the world go around. Many tools have great useful properties and origins. Tools also go back to caveman days, some of which go back even further than the wheel, which is one of the litmus test inventions everything is compared to.

Tool History and Memorabilia:
The Stony Brook University, in the United States observes that the Lomekwi 3 is an archaeological site near Lake Turkana in Kenya where ancient stone tools have been discovered dating back some 3.3 million years ago, which make them the oldest ever found in history. Through the evolution, the very existence of some early stone tool making were developed by at least roughly 2.6 million years ago starting the Early Stone Age. The bludgeon which consists of a stick or rock used as a weapon to smash things, was one of the first tools made by humans. Also, some basic stone implements including Oldowan tool kits which included hammerstones, stone cores, and sharp stone flakes came as tools developed over the span of early human existence.

Hand Tools 101:
It is important to note, if you are in any trade, a toolbox suggestion such as these never determines that you should ever enter a jobsite without one or more of these suggested toolboxes. In fact, the more of these that you have, not only the easier, but the more possible. Substituting the wrong tool for the type of work you are trying to complete is almost certain disaster. In other words, if you try to use a priers when you really need a channel locks, you are not only not able to fully perform the task, but can cause definite damage to the materials, tools and risk of injury. To make matters worse, if you try to use the right tool after the causing damage to say a stripped bolt makes it sometimes near impossible to perform the task and recifying the damage can be time consuming and sometimes devastating. As you can tell there are several duplications of individual tools in each toolbox set.

Why All Those Tools?
Did you ever have a toolbox up and need another tool that is outside in another box? Having several duplicates in each style set of tools assists in less running down and getting “the one” tool that you need. The work or occupation that you are in make a difference in the box that you need, but sometimes you may find yourself in a position of “Jack of all trade”, so having a set of tool boxes may really come in handy. Tools are used in all trades and also for some crafts projects and even yard work. Being for years in the trade of being a tile installer, I carried four to six different job’s tool boxes, almost more tools than materials. Nowadays, being into environmental services, I still find many tools a valuable asset.

In the End:
Always, and I do mean always–use the right tool that you need first! Also, when using your tools–measure twice and cut once–not the other way!

More tools, depending on your profession can always be added to these suggestions. The more, the merrier!

Tools Around the World, In All Ages:
There are other highly specialized sets of tools that plumbers, automotive mechanics, electrician and other highly specialized tool consumers use. Even my highly specialized trade of tile and also environmental services, I have used one or more of these examples. Always consult with your prOfessional training notes before starting a project.

Education is also important, If you have children who look oriented to taking on a trade, highly suggest that they take courses in school to learning proper of use of these tools. Industrial arts education covers shop classes which usually cover the subjects of wood shop, metal shop, electrical classes, auto mechanics and way many other fields of the industry. The more courses at your child’s disposal at an early age, the more chances that one or more of the fields of trades can interest them so that they learn what they would like to perform early on, so that college can be an easier choosing. Trades can work very well to a successful career choice.

As you can see, tools are what made this world. Anything could be considered a tool, even your computer or Android phone. This is because highly specialization makes these also work like a tool. Tools will be here for the duration of mankind. Lets make use of these a skill worth living for.

Tools, Tools and More Tools

I worked as a self-employed business for the highly successful company known as VersaTILE from the period of September 1985 to December 2004. Due to the onset of orthopedic conditions from excess wear and tear on my hips and knees, I had to give up doing floor work. My expertise in the construction trade has had not only influence on this article, but I am also highly qualified in the field on tools, tile installation and construction.
