#REDIRECT Tool (disambiguation)
:''This page discusses common devices known as "tools", for other meanings see Tool (disambiguation)'' A tool is, among other things, a device that provides a mechanical or mental advantage in accomplishing a task. Most tools employ some form of simple machine, or a combination of them. For example, a hammer simply functions as a lever with the fulcrum (pivot point) being the hand of the user. The further out from the pivot point, the more force is transmitted along the lever. A sword combines a lever and a wedge. Philosophers once thought that only humans used tools, and often defined humans as tool-using animals. But observation has confirmed that chimpanzees and other animals, mostly primates, but also some birds (ravens, for instance) can use tools as well. Most anthropology believe that the use of tools was an important step in the Human_evolution. Humans evolved an opposable thumb (useful to hold the tools) and an increase in intelligence (aiding in the use of tools). Most tools can also serve as weapons, such as the hammer and the knife. Similarly, people can use weapons, such as explosives, as tools. "Tool" as a verb can also mean "to travel in a vehicle; to ride or drive". "Tool" as a noun (slang), a meaningless individual. Also see TOOL: nima ==Varieties of tools== * A device often typifies a newly invented or specific-purpose tool. * An implement tends to be a small and relatively simple tool. * An instrument is a concrete or abstract tool, in particular a refined one. * A utensil often appears as a tool in a kitchen or dining-room setting. * A machine can function as an ordered system of tools or as a super-tool. * A Placeholder name can represent a generic tool or a part thereof. ===Physical tools=== * Hand tools such as pliers, adze, axe, chisel, drill, file (tool), hammer, Halligan bar, machete, plane (tool), saw, screwdriver, shovel, stone tool, straightedge, rake (tool), ruler, tire iron, scissors, wrenches. *Agricultural tools such as scythe, sickle. * Power tools such as crusher, drill, paper shredder, power grader, wire bonder, wood router. * Machine tools such as lathe, milling machine, shaper,grinding machine, drill as used in metalworking. *Hydraulic tools such as the Hurst tool or hydraulic ram. *Pneumatic tools such as pneumatic grinder, pneumatic sander, pneumatic drill, pneumatic screwdriver, pneumatic tapping machine, pneumatic hammer, pneumatic hack saw, pneumatic trimmer. * Heat-based tools such as soldering irons, gas weldinges and thermic lances * Eating utensils such as chopsticks, fork, knife, spoon. * Food preparation utensils * Cleaning utensils, e.g. a brush, including toothbrush and broomstick, a cloth, a washing-glove, and cloths for drying, often after washing, e.g. a towel. * Writing instruments such as ballpoint pen, brush, fountain pen, pencil, quill, stylus. * Measuring instruments, Musical instruments *Special use tools: Buggy whip, Ox goad, dildo, vibrator, knife sharpener, hair dryer, egg poker, flat iron *Multitools: Swiss Army knife, Leatherman * Sports equipment: Jump rope, Punching bag, Chess pieces, Pommel horse (gymnastics) * Other household implements such as backscratcher, bottle opener, can opener, fan (implement), flyswatter, syringe, toothbrush, washcloth (or flannel). Toy tools make popular playthings. Some simply consist of a cheap or small version of the real thing, such as a shovel and bucket to use on the beach or in a Sand art and play. Others are less functional, e.g. a dull plastic knife, or not functional at all. ===Mental tools=== * Language * Logic * Tradition * Algorithms In computing, the term "tools" can also apply to software programs that assist people doing work on computers, such as CASE tools, Lint programming tool, software or web-based collaborative tools, software development tools, programming tools. ==Functions of tools== Many tools or groups of tools serve to perform one or more of a set of basic operations, such as: * cutting (knife, scythe, sickle, ...) * concentrating force (hammer, maul, screwdriver, whip, writing implements, ...) * guiding (set square, algorithm, straight edge, tradition, ...) * protecting * seizing and holding (pliers, glove, wrench, ...) ==Popular Aphorisms== *"Don't blame your tools." --Unknown *"When all else fails, clean your tools." --Robert Pirsig *"A poor workman blames his tools" -- Unknown *"A fool with a tool is still a fool" *"Not the sharpest tool in the box" -- Unknown ==History== Use of tools started at the beginning of the Stone age. Humans have fabricated knives, amongst the oldest tools, since that time. Mechanics devices, though known to Alexandrian Greeks, experienced a major expansion in their use in the Middle Ages with the systematic employment of new energy sources: water (waterwheels) and wind (windmills). Machine tools occasioned a surge in producing new tools in the Industrial revolution. Advocates of nanotechnology expect a similar surge as tools move down-scale.

==Image Replacement== I recently replaced the knife image with that of a hammer, on no ground other than the fact that I think a knife is perhaps a tad too violent. True, this is derived from one's personal associations, but I know that when I first viewed the page I thought I entered the wrong article. It seems more appropriate this way. -- User:Itai 00:10, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC A knife, is sometimes called a tool, i.e: He was tooled up. (meaning he had a knife). Therefore the image of the knife should have remained. A knife is an inanimate object and therefore cannot be voilent, the user of the knife is voilent. Griff. We've got some funky grammar going on. I fixed it. The first tool that I visualize upon hearing the word tool, is a 'hammer.' I think it was a good change. -- Jim Cripps ==Tools and Human Evolution== I split the sentence about evolution into two sentences, but in doing so I may have lost some of the original meaning. Before it said: ''"Most anthropology believe that the use of tools itself intertwined with the opposable thumb (useful to hold the tools) and an increase in intelligence (aiding in the use of tools) in spurring along the Human_evolution."'' ...I think there must be grammatical error in that sentence. I rewrote it, but maybe we're missing the "spurring" point now. -- User:Nojer2 15:06, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==The philosophy and interrelation of tools like language== The cyclical dynamic between imagination, visualization, creativity, expression, invention, implementation, advantage, competition, desire as the pursuit of happiness, revelation, revolution, leading once again to, imagination. The new use of an otherwise common item to achieve a more timely result, such as picking up a stone to open a clam, we call invention. Combine a stone with a stick by tying a knot with string, and we were well on our way to improving our inventions. Discovery or exploration, through curiosity or necessity, is very hard to separate between which came first. Even harder to say which one is more dependent upon the other. Whether our stone age ancestors were first to see a stone as able to open a clam, or first saw a stone fall and open a clam and then visualized themselves playing a part in the act of opening still further clams, might seem a topic to explore elsewhere. However, when it comes to how we as humans interact with tools of all sorts today, it seems appropriate to discuss the chicken-egg relationship as it has come to be for us now. Imagination, creativity, invention (with words is if tools, or tools as if words) all seem to go hand in hand so to speak. Invention and its product, often a savings in time or a something like a change in scenery such as the view of Earth from the window of a newly invented space rocket, becomes a cyclicly enlarging and ever more complex interaction with our world. Although intention or desire does play a very large part in motivation, such as hunger, shelter and defense from aggression, it is something quite unique to humankind to "see in the minds eye" a vastly more complex interaction with our world by creating the "next" tool. This reordering, by visualizing a possible thing in the mind and then setting out to fashion, carve, mold, or otherwise craft it into being, is why we can so easily share words and concepts between tools, speech language, as either ideas or objects, as if coming from the same motivation within our mind. The reordering of words into new phrases or expressions, leading to new thoughts and responses, is the very same process used by a tool maker, desiring a new cutting expression, or leverage upon an otherwise unmovable object. This activity always leading to even newer thoughts and responses vastly outnumbering/outweighing the product of the original, practical pursuit. This wiki software tool, combined with a practical pursuit of crafting a "better" encyclopedia, leading to innumerable advances in many other realms of thought and activity, and yes, ever more sophisticated, refined or best of all, elegant tools. :just some thoughts I think could/should find there way into this article. The very concept of Tools, absolutely embody great portions of both our Humanity, just as well our darker side of war making. The creation of the wheel like Shakespeare, comes from the same ability in our minds as the creation of the sword like atom bomb.
