I also chose a red hammer and a bit of google-fu came up with this explanation...

I would imagine if the same test was carried out on someone from rural Tanzania they might choose a mattock or similar, if an electrician was quizzed he might pick a screwdriver. Because, unlike most, we are using a fairly specific set of tools for our hobby it isn't surprising that people are choosing knifes or axes rather than a hammer.

red screwdriver... because i thought of red and the only red tool i have is a set of bright red screwdrivers.
however, its unlikely a normal member of the public would consider a knife or axe as a tool, more likely to call them weapons ....
