They aren't the same thing but there's basically no room between "these are the tools I know"-thinking and "if all you have is a hammer"-thinking.

Freely admit this is somewhat irrelevant though as most languages are the difference between a felling-ax and a splitting-ax or two sizes of screwdriver, as opposed to hammer vs drill.
