Inclined planes form a column. Unguided inclined planes: knives, axes. Guided: planes, scissors. Inclined planes wrapped around cylinders: drills, screws.
Blunt objects form a column: Hammers, presses, brakes.
I agree with your categorizations involving tools that rely on heat, but I guess the problem with any such taxonomy is the next person comes along and goes "well I would do this differently, and that..."
- kortex 3y agoObviously everyone has their own classification. But TFA doesn't even distinct cutters from air pressure tools. I'd at least make a group for Fluid Workers: air compressor, water pump, hydraulic ram, hydraulic press.
- theodoregray 3y agoOh, yes, you found another place where I had to make an arbitrary placement. Air pressure tools just did not fit anywhere else, so I slapped them there in transition metals, which is unforgivable. See my longer comment for more whining about how it's not nearly as arbitrary as you make it out to be.
