I agree with this take. Tools should rarely require style updates. Sometimes you see style updates in hammers for example, but mostly they are gimmicks. A hammer from 89 years ago still hammers or pulls out nails. Some forms may be better for certain jobs (framing hammer, pein hammer, etc), but overall the design does not change very much.
When you introduce things like “titanium” and nail holders, etc., it’s mostly marketing gimmick and is reminiscent of kids’ toys. Kids need to constantly be provoked for new interest.

- s0rce 4y agoI guess to some it is, to me its just a tool. I don't want ti to be a hideous monstrosity but its not a luxury, I have a largely pointless mechanical wrist watch for that purpose. I used a Macbook Air from 2012-2020 and never really cared that it was stylish, my previous computer was a big black brick (aka Thinkpad).
- hajile 4y agoTitanium hammers have half the weight and 10x less recoil to the user for about the same energy imparted to the target. This translates DIRECTLY into reducing the chances that you wind up with carpal tunnel or jacking up your wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
