Ok, obrigada!
rir Jul 15, 2011:
pois, rustler quer dizer muita coisa e tem varias aplicacoes, mas eu acho que neste contexto nao tem nada a ver com ladrao de ferramentas.....mas com:
pessoa ativa (hustler, rustler), indivíduo despachado (rustler), ..ele era o que lidava e percebia tudo sobre as ferramentas e ou ate poderia funcionar como uma caixa de ferramentas,,,...logo um tipo de handyman.
Alessandra K (asker) Jul 15, 2011:
Como "rustler" também quer dizer "ladrão de gado", será que ela não quer dizer que ele também furtava as ferramentas da oficina?

pau para toda a obra

Diria que "tool rustler" tem um significado semelhante a "jack-of-all-trades" : pau-prá-toda-obra
