Tools

I really love finding a new tool that works especially well and makes my work easier. In my work tool bag I have an adjustable end wrench (a "cresent wrench") that I have used almost weekly for more than 20 years. I might go many weeks without using it but when I need it, it is there: the right tool for the task at hand. Here is a poem about another type of tool:

A tool rests upon a shelf
Clean
but worn from years of use
The Carpenter smiles fondly
and picks it up
Faithful
Dependable
Ready to work
as a team.
