As is the case with every trade, the tools and equipment that are used have evolved and adapted over time to effectively carry out the most modern processes. Whilst new innovations provide us with the most useful and convenient technologies, some of the tools that we still use are centuries old.

Using tools correctly is important for both safety as well as efficiency on the jobsite. Tool satisfaction is also something that is directly linked to the progression of mastery.
