   Chatting about tools with @mk I was reminded of a curious interaction with a colleague, a technician.

   He complained about his fading eyesight, and having issues identifying tools. So I suggested color coded hex tools, already used by others in the shop.

   "I WILL NOT USE GAY TOOLS!" [and walked off angrily]

   It really threw me off how a well-educated, soft-spoken and otherwise likeable person turned into a demented hermit crab when confronted with small bits of colorful metal.
