really qualify as a fetish?

A subjective view
Well, I think so.
I draw strength and understanding and calming from handling tools. I feel diminished when they've been taken from me without my permission.
I do the other fetishes too. I have black leather wrist cuffs. I usually wear a "Pagan" pendent, (it's the waning moon, so it's my bear medicine shield today). I've been known to wear a bear claw or a shark's tooth. In my younger days, I even wore one of those Avon arrowhead pendents (hey, it was the late 1970s, at least I didn't wear the disco suit).
I've been experimenting with body paint for rituals.
So I do know a little something about fetishes.
Draw you own conclusions.
But I would invite you to consider why you believe "modern" tools can't be fetishes…
