The first case corresponds to a worker in an industry or work
shop who knows what to do and has all the tools of the trade.

The second knows what to do but you have to tell him what
tools to use.

The third (or worse) crewman isn't even in possession of any
tools, you just hope he will take them because before you told
him to get going you placed them in a, in your mind,
well-found place for the purpose ...
