Are you building? Improving? Or destroying? Be sure you pick the correct tool for the job.

Look, it's not the fault of the tool, you know? It's just that there's a difference between taking apart a pair of eyeglasses with a tiny screwdriver and taking apart a pair of eyeglasses with a hammer. So think about it, and choose the right tool for your job.

For example, if you try to engrave your name on the back of your iPod and you use the rotary tool? You're very likely going to be sad. Alternatively, if you want to sand down a piece of metal for a project, and you use the engraver, it's not going to work as well as you'd hope.

We're not taking sides. They're both two perfectly good tools. It's just that if you want to play on a slide, you don't want to be at a park with nothing but swings, you know? So plan accordingly.
