    Abstract: A tool system is used for a plurality of tools. Each of the plurality of tools is a portable tool and includes: a driving unit to be activated with power supplied from a power source; and an image capturing unit. The tool system includes a reference image generating unit and an output unit. The reference image generating unit generates, based on a second captured image, a reference image to be compared with a first captured image. The first captured image is shot, while a current work target is being identified, by the image capturing unit. The second captured image is also shot by the image capturing unit. The output unit makes a display unit display the second captured image while the reference image generating unit is generating the reference image.

    Abstract: A tool system includes a portable tool, an image capturing unit, and a control unit. The tool includes a driving unit to be activated with power supplied from a power source. The image capturing unit is provided for the tool and generates a captured image. The control unit controls the tool based on the captured image. The control unit has a work support capability. The work support capability is the capability of placing a restriction on operation of the tool when a work target identified based on the captured image does not conform to a working instruction defined by a working procedure. The control unit suspends, when finding a lifting condition satisfied while performing work-support-enabled operation, the work-support-enabled operation and thereby lifts the restriction on the operation of the tool.
