SECTION TITLE HERE 10 INSIDER With new developments in construction techniques, technology advancements and building materials, the hardware industry is more sophisticated than ever. It can be overwhelming sometimes with the different choices out there and it may leave you thinking - which one is right for me? Finding the right tool for the job is a fundamental responsibility that we have to take on with knowledge and understanding. The overall basics of tools have not changed much over the years but have become more specialized to cater to increased job productivity. When determining which tool might fit the job best, a great place to start is looking at the size of the project. Let’s look at framing a house for example- a hammer and a pile of nails will get the job done, but not as efficiently as a pneumatic nailer will. A pneumatic nailer is not only there to get the job done faster, it also allows for more precise building techniques that equate to a more polished end project. Sometimes the right tool for the job is not in your toolbox yet. Replacing a worn-out tool or adding a new one can make all the difference when it comes to finding the right tool for the job. With development in new technologies, updated tools not only keep the project moving but can improve the work in different areas. Batteries in modern tools have become stronger, longer lasting, and smaller all to get the job done in less time and with more comfort. Although the tools may not look much different, there are differences like more ergonomic grips, built-in flashlights, and magnetic tips that can elevate the way you operate on any given job. One of the most important reasons to discover the right tool for the job is safety. Using the wrong tool can lead to a multitude of dangers on a jobsite. Using the wrong tools can cause unwanted damages that lead to projects being reworked, thus prolonging the time expected to complete a specific project. There is potential for a serious injury when using the wrong tool or a tool that was not designed for the work it was being used for. Ultimately, finding the right tool for the job keeps you safe in doing your job everyday. When using the proper tool for a certain job, you stay out of harms way all while getting the job done.
