@jab01701mid That's how multi-function tools became a thing, though. Multi-bit screwdrivers, modular heads, etc. allow those things.

@neal So I think there is a loop where tool-builders improve the design of common tools like screwdrivers and electric drills, adding accessories and specializations. Printers go from 2D to 3D. But that's different from responding to "what people with non-technical skills want to do". Sometimes, as Steve Jobs was good at sometimes, you have to build the right tool, even if people are not asking for it right now.
