Comment: "Thank you to everyone suggesting an answer. The job got put on hold, and I am not yet sure exactly what I'll put, but "tools" seems along the right lines. I don't think it's utilities (just can't work that out in English to make sense here)... Thanks again!"

sono d'accordo con te. L'origine della scelta di utilizzo del termine è senz'altro da verificare, ma ritradurre un termine inglese in inglese, è poco sensato. Grazie per l'agree
