Knowing and using the right tool for the job can save you time and allow you to effectively perform a task.
There are two definitions of “tool” that I am referring to: (mainly the first for now)- an implement, especially one held in the hand, as a hammer,saw, or file, for performing or facilitating mechanical operations.
- anything used as a means of accomplishing a task or purpose
Every job has it’s own set of tools
- Chef: knife, garlic press, rolling pin …
- Electrical Engineer: soldering iron, wire cutter, Voltmeter …
- Carpenter: saw, level, drill …
- Game Designer: Computer, design software, internet connection
As a science teacher and a summer time builder, I love tools! My wife always gets nervous when I go to Home Depot with the credit card. I recently bought a Leatherman Wave for everyday random situations where a tool is helpful.

I liked really well the way you explain on the part that you say that everyone needs a different tool for example a chef needs a knife etc… also It might be a bight better if you related the tools to something 6th graders or 7th graders or as well as 8th but dont compare it to chefs or thing like that thats one comment you might like to add on some information about it,.

I used a swiss army knife in boy scouts to help me start fires and cut wood, i also made paths on trees to know where we were.

Knowing how to start a fire is a great skill. To survive in the wilderness or to impress your future girlfriend with a romantic fire 🙂

if i could buy any tool, it would be a drumel. it is an electric pencil, used to carve and wittle wood, by electrically spinning the tip. you can attach different tips to a drumel, like a drill, or a spiked ball, or a barbed pike. my grandfather has one, and he has made many things with it.

What tools do you use or own? What tasks do they help you do?
I own and use a lot of tools. They help me do lots of things, depending on the tool. For example, my computer helps me search stuff, my shoes help me walk and my cap conceals me from the heat.
What tool would you like to buy or use? Why are you interested in this tool?
I would love to own a phone. A good one. Phones can take pictures, take videos, call, see the time, and communicate. Most phones, anyway….
If not, I’d like a Swiss Army Knife. They’re cool, and useful.

I also like butterfly knifes. 🙂

No playing with knives. Only under adult supervision. I am going to keep my eye on you.
February 15, 2013 at 5:48 pm
I think you should invent a Swiss Army phone 🙂
