Tag: Tool or Tools?

Posted under General

Tool or Tools
I am unsure and so is jxh2154. So what should happen with it?
Would "tool(s)" be acceptable or unacceptable here?

Should the tag be more specific to what is seen? "hand_tool" and "power_tool". Assuming that there would be more than one object in the picture, then add an "S".

I'm personally in support of tools, as they're generally always depicted in a set of either the same type of tool or a assortment of other tools. Though I wouldn't particularly care if tool is the one used instead.

As for specifics, I think tool/s would work fine to cover them all. If you need a specific sub-tag then I'd say only power_tool would likely be needed if we really needed a specific tag. In that case though I'd think power_tool would be the tag I'd support, since they're more likely to be depicted individually, unlike regular tools.

The only reason I'd say to go for tool over tools would be if we want to use it as a group tag with a bunch of implications à la instrument. Otherwise, yeah, tools is the way to go, since any single tool should have a more specific tag.
