Tools--the Old and the New

 

Author: Sharon Foltz, EdD
When we began telling folks about our new internet website, many of them commented that there was no need for another tool store. We explained that we would look for the bargains, the sales, and the sales promotions that would save our customers some money and, perhaps, some valuable time that would no longer be wasted in shopping.

Why did we choose tools? Because that subject is one that Dick knows best. He could advise even better in welding equipment, but such specialization provides much less opportunity to be helpful. We will incorporate welders and welding materials and tools into our site.

We chose tools partly out of respect for the tools and the craftsmen and women who use them everyday to their intended purpose. They repair the things so useful to our way of life. They create beautiful new and useful things.

All kinds of tools will be represented. Hand tools...let's consider the hand tools that are so familiar. The hammer is the first that comes to mind. The first hammer was probably a rock that fit the user's hand comfortably for pounding something, so he set it aside for use in future pounding. What do you suppose that caveman said to his mate when she picked it up and used it and then left it lying on the floor?

Then let's consider the screwdriver...while the hammer runs on brute force, the screwdriver uses the inclined plane to secure one material to another in almost permanent togetherness. But even with that advantage, the screwdriver has sometimes been a bear to use. You could almost break your own wrist trying to turn a screwdriver. But no longer...because now the most delicate young lady can outperform the strongest carpenter when she uses a power drill or a power screwdriver and he uses his old faithful hand screwdriver. She can predrill the hole for the screw, then change bits, screw in the screw with very little resistence or splitting of the wood, and still beat him.

You could be finished much sooner if you employed a modern power tool in your building or repairing chores. The same illustration works for almost any power tool. They are rising in popularity and going down in relative price. We see a good tool as a small investment in our lives. The tools save our economic lives as well as increase our pride and self-esteem by saving expensive maintainance and repair costs.

Old tools, new tools, brand new concept-tools. We love them all. Some of the really cool new ones are begging you to become familiar with their uses. For example, can you explain how a laser level works? And it works so well; no more crooked picture frames.

If you could use some new tools to replace your well-used, worn out, or broken tools, or you just want a new toy for yourself, we encourage you tog browse around the internet and choose one. If you aren't sure what you want/need, please email your questions to us so we can try to help you.

Dr. Sharon Foltz is a retired teacher now enjoying the fascinating new world of tools. Her husband Dick thinks it is great to be so immersed in one of his favorite subjects. There are literally thousands of types and brands of tools, so she will be happily learning about tools for the rest of her life. Her mission is to foster an increase in both knowhow and confidence in the use of tools among their women visitors and customers. Richard and Sharon Foltz are administrators for ToolHill.com, which specializes in the latest information about power tools and other types of tools.
