Out in the workshop yesterday making some tool handles. Before I had the triangle end wrapped in some foam sheet with gaffers tape.
The Vacuum attachment is great. I can take the cover off my igniter hole and vacuum from above without taking the ash pan out.
Also great for the fines compartment. The handle wood is one large ash hammer handle I got somewhere to make knife handles.

There are other animals that make and use tools. Although "make" may be a somewhat strong word. Modifying what they find (regardless if it is natural or not) is more like it.

Yes I remember seeing on tv how primates use sticks to get honey or dig out ants. Or use rocks to smash bones for marrow. Birds will drop shellfish on rocks to break them. It seems the use of hands and creativity were determining factors.
