Copper tools are implements made primarily from the metal copper, known for its malleability and conductivity. These tools have been used since ancient times, particularly in the Copper Age, when early civilizations began to discover the advantages of metalworking. Copper tools are often used for tasks such as cutting, shaping, and crafting materials like wood and leather. The use of copper tools marked a significant advancement in technology, allowing for more efficient work compared to stone tools. While copper is softer than other metals like iron, it was easier to shape and could be cast into various forms. Today, copper tools are less common but are still valued for specific applications, such as in electrical work due to their excellent conductivity.
