What are the tools on the Mircrosoft training books?
I am staring at the 70-290 book and the tool on the cover looks particully useless and unrelated, anyone know what this tool is or what use is has?

If I remember correctly, they are just 'tools' and not IT ones either.

For some reason they seem to enjoy pipe-wrenches, compasses, set squares and all kinds of rubbish.

Try not to worry about it.

 

yep, perhaps the images on i-stock were cheaper for diy than I.T stuff.

 

Somewhere in the book should be a page that explains the tool, it's use and the reason that it was chosen for the cover. (or is that just O'Reilly books with the animals?)

 

dont give away the exam questions

 

Hmmmmmm i have read the book cover to cover several times and unless i have missed it, there are not even and subtle or cryptic clues

 

I think he's right - but it may well be in the small print somewhere rather than in the main part of the book.

I wonder if MS did some analysis on what sort of tools were 'clever'.
I bet they ruled out chisles, spanners and toilet plungers.
