www.protoolreviews.com: It’s a fact: innovation doesn’t take place by coloring inside the same lines each generation before has. Sure, you can get really good at doing the same old thing, but it’s building on the solid efforts of those that came before you that really drives innovation. Just like Henry Ford revolutionized the auto industry, tools come out every year that defy the previously known boundaries.

Looking through these lists make me think about how interesting it would be to see a comparative timeline of all the new tool innovations that come out every year. I mean, it is cool to see what today’s tools and equipment can do on their own, but it would also be cool to track the progress and over what amount of time it took to achieve however much progress has been made. The author touches on the subject of advancement pace in this paragraph:
“2015 saw the introduction of smart tools that can communicate with devices outside themselves. We’ve seen three cordless drills exceed 1000 inch pounds of torque. 18V Lithium-ion batteries hit 6.0 amp hours, then jumped to 9.0 amp hours. Workwear is reaching levels of comfort and durability that we didn’t think possible ten years ago. Impact rated accessories are really starting to get dialed in to everyday fastening applications.”
But there is no physical representation or comprehensive timeline that can be studied and applied to the progression of all of this equipment. I am very impressed by the numbers, however, and the general surprised and impressed tone by the author in this article is really comprehensive to the situation.
