After the discovery of copper working and before the discovery of bronze, the History channel said that copper was used to make tools and decorations. They showed a lot of copper decorations, but no tools. So, what tools DID early man make from copper? Could they make swords, even if they had to be sharpened often? Could they make axes? Hammers? What tools could they make? P.S. It was hard to decide what topic to put this question in.

Q. I do some of my own repairs on my car. I have some tools that I have bought from the snap-on and mac trucks. They are expensive but great tools.

Q. I'm kitting out a workshop for my fiancee as a surprise when he moves to his new home. He wants to "tinker" mechanically, not woodworking, more car fix up or alternative energy creations. What would you put in his new workshop for tools? Thanks to all in advance! 3 great answers! Thank you everyone...
