Because hey, sometimes your Victorian/Steampunk/etc stuff breaks, you know? 
These tools would work pretty much in any scene from about 1840 through 1939. After that, metal toolboxes started to become more common, claw hammers were a bit differently styled (and better at pulling the more modern machine-made "flat-head" nails), and that old "monkey wrench" style of adjustable wrench was long since gone, replaced by modern box-wrenches and crescent wrenches. The claw hammer in particular is very period-specific - it was designed to be able to pull the kind of nails that blacksmiths used to make by hand - large, flat-sided, square-headed nails. As modern technology improved, however, machine-made nails became a lot more common, rendering this tyle of blunt, broad claw obsolete, and leading to the thinner, more modern claw-hammers we're used to today.

*****README FOR THE VICTORIAN TOOLKIT*****
What it is:
------------
This is a set of Victorian-style tools complete with toolkit. The set uses both texture maps and procedural textures, so it will only work well in Poser 5+, best in Poser 7. The "spanner" (or wrench, as we call it here in the US) is a type of adjustable wrench invented by US inventor Charles Moncky in the 19th century - it later became known as a "Monkey Wrench." The hammer and screwdriver are fairly ordinary for the period (hammer heads varied widely in style, based on the manufacturer and their intended purpose).
What you can do with it:
------------------------
1) You're free to use these models in any render, non-commercial or commercial.
2) You may not sell the models, either individually or as part of a compilation.
3) If you re-post this archive on your website or as part of a free compilation, the archive must include this readme file.
How to use it:
--------------
First, extract this archive to your Poser runtime directory. The files will fall into the following directories:
The props will fall under Runtime:Libraries:Props:Victorian Toolkit
The textures will fall under Runtime:Textures:Jim's Custom Textures:Victorian Toolkit
Then simply load Poser, open the folder for the props, and click to add them to your scene.
