A tool is an entity used to facilitate more effective action. The most basic tools are simple [[machines]]. For example, a crowbar simply [[functions]] as a [[lever]]. The further out from the pivot point, the more [[force]] is transmitted along the lever. A hammer typically interfaces between the operator's hand and the nail the operator wishes to strike. | A tool is an entity used to facilitate more effective action.
