Many of the items found in hardware stores are so common that it's easy to forget that when they were invented, they represented technological breakthroughs--some even revolutionized entire industries. MORE HARDWARE examines various tools to see how they've evolved, including the wrench, rope, sandpaper, and locks and keys. Whether you're looking for an ancient tool like a hammer or a modern one like an electronic lock, you'll find it at the hardware store--the place to go when things fall apart or when you decide to build your dreams from the ground up.
