A Unique Tool is an individually assigned and tracked item that requires monitoring throughout its lifecycle. These tools are typically checked out, used, and returned, ensuring accountability and detailed usage history. Unique Tools often require maintenance, certification, or calibration, distinguishing them from bulk-distributed Quantity Tools.
