Category-specific inspection guidance: Begin with the fastener or material, required reach, working space, force or precision needed, and frequency of use. Buy the correct size and type rather than relying on stacked adapters or an oversized kit. For hand tools, compare grip shape and span in the position where the work will happen: NIOSH guidance emphasizes tools that fit the job, available workspace, and the user's hand while reducing force, repetition, and awkward posture. A tool that feels comfortable on a shelf may still be a poor choice overhead, in a cabinet, or during repeated high-force work.

Use the category guidance above to examine the relevant stress points rather than relying on a headline claim.
