What is They’re using better tools or methods?

They’re using better tools or methods means they have something that helps them do their job faster or better than before.

Imagine you're building a tower with blocks. At first, you just stack them one by one, it works, but it takes forever. Then your friend gets a new tool, like a block grabber that lets them pick up several blocks at once and place them quickly. Now they can build the same tower in half the time!

Better tools are like that block grabber, they help you do things faster or easier.

Better methods are more like learning a smarter way to stack your blocks. Maybe you figure out that if you make a base first, then add layers on top, the whole tower is stronger and doesn’t fall over as easily.

So when someone says they’re using better tools or methods, it means they’ve found a way to do something more quickly, more efficiently, or with fewer mistakes, just like your friend who got a block grabber or learned the best way to stack.
