I think it works quite well with "carpenter" and "hand tools". I don't
think contractors supply carpenters with hammers and screwdrivers. And
I think that what he's lacking, in terms of hardware and connectivity,
really are the basic tools (IE sophisticated? Firefix costly? <g>), not
the power tools. And as for "carpenter" instead of "contractor", he
*has* said that he just wants to be the laborer.
