"In the ancient days of the chosen spanner people, there were two tribes called 'Snap-On' and 'Draper' - the people of Snap-onia lived by the letter of the ancient "holy socket set manual of the lord", wherein it is written (on whatever it is that they write it on up there), that "verily, these sockets shall from this day forth, only ever be used with official Snap-On shafts; they who defy this commandment will suffer eternal death in a lake of sulphur (and void their lifetime warranty)".
However, over in the land of the Draper tribe, the people had lost their holy manual, and they did wiggle their shafts in whichever brand of hole they seemed to fit in - some of the sockets didn't work as well, but they found that mostly the sockets worked fine in non official holes. Sure they coupldn't make baby sockets (stay with me), but most of the people continued to follow the traditional ways of the socket, handed down orally, so enough baby sockets were created anyway. Of course, the people who didn't follow the traditional ways forfeited their "Holy Lifetime Socket Replacement Gurantee" with their actions, but very few of them had ever actually applied for replacement sockets anyway, and some whispered that the lifetime guarantee was actually a lie invented by the early priest-mechanics for their own ends.
Nonetheless, the people who found no pleasure in standard socket configurations lived peaceably as part of the community. What's more the intellectual freedom continued to grow in draperland as the people started to question all the ancient tool texts to work out if they were still relevant to their time - some they kept as they were useful, but many they discarded as they had lost relevance since the great allen key plagues.
Meanwhile, over in Snaponia, the culture languished in a dark age as the focus on the rightness of ancient times prevented them from living in the present and looking to the future"
