At what age should kids be introduced to tools?

This is my grandson, and these photos were not solicited or set up, according to my son (and, I believe him). The kid already has the keen curiosity to use his play tools on things (even of they do not directly apply to the vehicle in question).

Get that kid a tool belt and some tools!

I have pictures of me in diapers “helping” my dad by holding a screw driver while he was working on something in the house so I’d say pretty early in life is a good age.

Haha! Awesome! Agree! He needs more tools, and to be a helper! Thanks for sharing! Great stuff. [emoji106][emoji16][emoji631]

I have a killer picture of my daughter at 18 months. I had to replace the squirrel cage in our furnace, and had it in pieces all over the hallway. I looked up to see her with a cheese eating grin. She had a ratchet in one hand and a teething cracker in the other.

Javier is putting on the new air deflector on his 2004 Grand Marquis. (Thanks @95escahoe) He didn’t want to get the jack out so he took advantage of the driveway approach slope.

Gotta love young eyes. Now I'd have to be three feet away from that to see what I'm doing, with glasses, and my arms usually aren't long enough. :(

I was wondering if the old air deflector could be re-shaped using a heat gun. You probably thought of that already.

It might have been but I came home one day and he told me he took it off and threw it in the trash before the trash truck came so.......

Understand about seeing stuff. I moved to progressive lens in my glasses a year or so ago and find myself having to either really crane my neck back or take my glasses off for stuff that close.
