What were the first tools of man?
We have our hands and teeth  just like all other animals then we found that a sharp stone would be useful for cutting and that if one stone is harder than the other it can be u to shape the softer stone to the desired shape whether it be  utility or decorative.
We have continued to develop them through the ages the wheel then the axle stone was replaced with metal and in some cases ceramics have replaced tool steel for machining metal into components for common use.
The Egyptians must have had some good tools and craftsmen who fashioned granite into tombs in the pyramids where the joins between the stones are perfectly straight and and parallel.
