I think it was a great job done as well as we could expect from Middle Schoolers. So many youths have little to no clue about most tools.

Yea, they did good );

(or did they do well? I don't remember ;P)

Breaker Bars used to just be called handles, so they aren't all that far off,
 oddly, "Breaker bar" used to refer to a completly different thing, the moving bar in a Magneto that moves the contacts that Break the circuit (eg the points)

Hey Keykeeper, I always thought it was Tri-Square also. but looked it up, both spelling are used.. go figure?
Must have been their dads tools & what he called it... Lots of Farm tools from horn cutters, gardening, tree tape, woodworking, general auto & welding, etc. never seen some of those; i.e. Elastrator?, Emasculator? ouch!!

Thanks Krusty. I did not know that, therefore, I stand corrected.

I think a lot of the descriptions are pretty common sense, but there not bad. Pretty good job overall.
