That other thread about alchemist's tools reminded me of this. If the things you can craft with alchemist's supplies are unclear, the uses for tinkerer's tools are an enigma. There is a single solitary example of something you can craft with them, and it's just on the rock gnome racial traits. So, like, these are tools for making weird devices or something? For modifying other devices? Inventing things that don't exist already? Could I craft a firearm with them? According to Wikipedia, tinkers were tinsmiths that repaired silverware. That doesn't really help. What do you tink?
