25 Tools of the Future

I don’t think it’s a spoiler to tell you that one of the pivotal moments in Clint Eastwood’s new blockbuster movie, Gran Torino, is when his neighbor learns how Eastwood's character accumulated all the tools next to the classic Gran Torino car in his garage.

Eastwood’s character no doubt inherited tools from his father and uncles. To celebrate the movie Gran Torino, here is a cluster of tools that may accumulate in your life and fascinate a young person someday.
