Worship of Tools Day is celebrated annually on March 11. Tools are really the unsung heroes. Unfortunately, we don’t give them enough commendation. There are so many different types of tools, and this day is meant to worship each one of them. Upgrade them, organize them, or buy new ones. They come super handy when you need to build or fix something.
History of Worship of Tools Day
We wonder who created this constructive holiday dedicated to the worshipping of tools. It most definitely has to be someone very passionate about their tool kit. In ancient times, humans were able to build tools as simple as knives from rocks. In fact, the screwdriver can be traced to the 1400s. However, with the advent of technology, there is a surge in the creation of modern tools that can almost do a job as good as a machine.
A tool is essentially a physical object used to fix or build a thing, and it’s hard to imagine a world without tools as part of our daily lives. Right from a hammer, screwdriver, or wrench — these tools are essential. However, it is important to keep them clean and sharpened because, when frequently used, they can get blunt or rusted and may not be of any use. It is even important to have a good tool kit to keep the tools in place. Many times we even see construction workers carrying around tool kits on sites.
Many tool enthusiasts know a good tool when they see one and have their preferred brand or style. Tool lovers end up having an extensive collection of tools, and it’s almost like a hobby. There is even a code in tool borrowing and loaning as they often don’t get returned. This phenomenon has been picked up by many sitcoms and shown humorously from time to time.
With the ever-growing need for tools in our home, it’s only right that there is a day dedicated to worshipping these objects that play a significant role in our lives.
