Sticks and stones were probably the first tools used, and they were used before recorded history. We can only guess as to the year, decade or even the century that someone picked up one or the other and applied it to some purpose. It was so long ago that time and history have hidden the facts from us.
The metals copper, gold, meteoric iron, which are available in their metallic form naturally without needing smelting or other high temperature processing of ores. The first commonly used metal tools were copper tools. Gold and meteoric iron due to their rarity were usually reserved for kings or religious purposes.
The difference between the Stone and Bronze Age is that during the Stone Age, people used stone to make tools and weapons. During the Bronze Age, people used bronze to make tools and jewelry. In the Bronze Age, the first metal that people used to make tools and jewelry was copper.
During the Chalcolithic period, also known as the Copper Age, copper was the primary metal used to create tools and weapons. This period marked the transition from stone tools to metalworking, as people began to smelt and shape copper into various implements. While stone tools were still in use, the introduction of copper allowed for stronger and more durable tools and weapons. The use of copper significantly influenced the development of early civilizations.
Copper was the first metal to fashioned into tools during this time period. Humans had not yet developed the technology to create bronze (an alloy of copper and tin) or to smelt and forge iron. The addition of tin in bronze made it a much stronger and durable material. Iron when it came into being c.1000BC proved stronger still.
The first tools used by convicts in Australia were supplied by Great Briatin, and brought with the First Fleet. These tools were unsuitable for use, as they broke easily in the hard Australian soil. The tools then needed to be replaced, but there were few convicts in the First Fleet who had the skills for tool-making. They would have used parts of the broken tools to make new ones which would serve them until free tradesmen (and perhaps better skilled convicts in subsequent fleets) arrived in the colony.
