   Hi Steve, I'm not sure what you want to classify as "tools", but I can 
tell you somethings that I would love to see. I would love a hand scanner 
that can read characters (ocr) that could be used by people with limited and 
shakey hand control that also is in a price range that the disabled could 
afford. I would like a battery operated screwdriver that has a Tbar or strap 
handle that would make it easy to hold and use. I would love kitchen 
cupboards where the bottom shelf would slide out and rise up. I would like a 
light switch that can be voice command specific, such as saying light on, 
light off instead of the lame ones they sell in the stores that respond to 
any loud noise at all.
