The aquanauts were impressed with the tool performance and the possibility of obtaining 

 suitable tools for their normal underwater work. Many excellent suggestions were received 

 from them on ways to improve the tools. These encouraging results appear to warrant further 

 development of tools designed specifically for the underwater worker in his demanding environ- 

 ment.
