 cloth is a tool to make clothes which are tools to replace the hair we used to be covered with as monkeys a chair is a tool to help one to continue standing but without the weight of the body pressing into the legs as a friend responded "wear and consumption are two different things. consumption is directly transformative but wear is like decay" and I would have to agree. so toothpaste is a consumable and toothbrush is a tool  @liaizon I tend to make a (similar) distinction between tools and materials (although in this case materials could either be consumed (such as car detailing products) or become part of the item being made/repaired (eg a replacement cabin air filter in a vehicle) @garlic_onions one could rethread their toothbrush bit you cant recalcify your toothpaste |
