Tools are lifeless, but people are not. Even with good tools, people need to be taught how to use them in order to fully utilize their functions. In the past, education and training, as well as user guides, were not valued by the traditional industry. Workers used to rely on trial and error, which not only consumed time and effort, but also delayed construction and could potentially cause physical harm due to improper use. Grainger not only sells equipment and materials but also compiles guides on how to use tools and equipment, allowing companies to train workers and technicians more quickly.
