Description
Tools are a common part of our everyday lives. We use hand and power tools at home and work for a variety of reasons. Work tools are very useful but can also be very dangerous. Anyone that has had a wrench slip from a bolt and scraped their knuckles or hammered their finger instead of the nail knows the pain that can occur from a simple mishap. Unfortunately, more serious injuries can and do occur with the use of such tools.
