Description
Includes a bonus poster of Theodore Gray's PERIODIC TABLE OF TOOLS! Tools is arguably Theodore Gray's most personal book yet. Hand tools and power tools have been a central part of his life for as long as he can remember. Using them, collecting them, and appreciating them is as much a part of his DNA as his passion for the periodic table. This book is the story of those tools, from Gray's personal favourites that have stuck with him through to years, to new and exciting antiques and modern inventions that he's discovered along the way. Organized into 118 categories, (and cleverly arranged into a periodic table of tools where each tool in a column shares properties and builds from lightest to heaviest) each tool is featured in a great big beautiful photograph on the left-hand side of the spread. On the right side of the page, Theo regales us with history and personal stories and shows us multiple variations on the theme. Tools is an unprecedented collection featuring 500 stunning examples of the world's most wonderful workshop implements. It's the must-have book for every tool lover.

Remarkable
A well edited and beautifully illustrated overview of an extraordinary number of tools, both the basic types and the many variations.Recommended for engineers and also for those who simply want to know more about how devices are designed, maintained and repaired.

Great Book
I really enjoy all of the books from Theodore Gray and learn a lot of information that I wish I had known years ago. My only complaint, which isn't really a complaint, is that I wish some of the more obscure tools could have been shown at work because I would have understood better some of the descriptions of what they were for. I know that doesn't fit the format of the books, though, and was glad to be able to learn about all of the many tools shown anyway. There is something to be learned from every descriptive page, even about tools that I was already familiar with. I believe that Tools and Engines are my favorite books in the series because I learned the most from them.
