"Reviving old tools is significantly more environmentally friendly than buying new, primarily by reducing waste, lowering demand for raw materials (steel, aluminum), and avoiding the high energy consumption and emissions involved in manufacturing. Repairing keeps products in use, supporting a circular economy and minimizing one's carbon footprint."
