Why are primates the only animals to use hand tools?

Primates are the only animals with enough association area (the area of the brain that controls conscious thought, interpretation, creativity, etc.) to be able to be creative and intelligent enough to think of using objects as tools. Primates are not the only one's to use hand tools, ever hear of an otter? They break shells on their stomach by use of a rock. How about rats. The common rat (Rattus) has been seen to use very basic tools in working out minor problems. Many rodents do actually, but it is more common for rats. Some birds also have been seen to use what are considered tools--dropping shellfish from height onto rocks to break them open.
