Claim 11:
12. The system of claim 10, wherein the determined physical attributes of the engagement area comprise a material composition of the work-piece engagement area, and a material strength of the material composition of the work-piece engagement area slot; and wherein the processor executes the program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium via the computer readable memory and thereby selects the substitute tool by selecting a third tool of the subset of alternate substitute tools that has a third body portion that conforms less closely to the physical dimensions of the work-piece engagement area slot than a fourth body portion of a different, fourth tool of the subset of alternate substitute tools, in response to determining that the third tool is formed from a material having a greater material strength than a different material used to form the fourth tool.
