MTM 1-2(Crate): The best answer
is (c), measuring tape, handsaw, nails, and hammer.
Discussion:
- A hand saw could be essential for cutting wood
stock to the proper length.
- A measuring tape would be very helpful both
in the design phase for measuring the size of crate required,
and in the construction phase for measuring and marking wood before
cutting. Note: a marked stick, or story pole,
could also be used for this purpose.
- Nails would be a good choice for fastening
the cut pieces of wood together. Staples might be used, but are
typically too short. Screws could also be used, but would be too
time-consuming to install to be cost-effective. Adhesives might
also work, but again, would be too time consuming to be appropriate
for a low-cost item such as a packing crate.
- A hammer would be needed to install the nails.
In a mass-production facility, a nail gun might
also be used for this purpose.
