Tools
A tool is a thing used to achieve an objective. Tools may be a physical object like a hand tool or power tool, a piece of software, a process, a technique, or something more conceptual like a way of thinking (paradigm).
Tools may have multiple uses, some intended and some not.
It is well understood that quality and efficiency suffer when one uses the wrong tool for the job.
