I find myself unreasonably frustrated by this arrangement. "Screwdriver Bits" are not the base level of the screwdriver column -- "Screwdrivers" are. And the second column from left is just a mess: stampers are similar to rivets are similar to nail guns... how?

I'm sure this is a personal preference thing but (to me) the columns should be thematically similar, off the top of my head (I am not skilled at manufacturing nor construction):

    1. Things that pound things into other things (hammers)
    2. Things that twist things into other things (screwdrivers)
    3. Things that join things (staples, rivets, etc. -- yes, I get that this covers both nails and screws)
    4. Things that shape things
    5. Things that split things
    6. Things that cut things
    7. Things that break things down
    8. Things that mix things
    9. Things that contain things
    10. Things that move single things
    11. Things that move aggregate things
    12. Things that etch things
    13. Things that measure the size of things
    14. Things that measure the mass of things
    15. Things that measure force
    16. Things that measure other attributes?
I'm sure there are more.
