Final answer:

Tools should retain enough hardness when hot to cut effectively.


Explanation:

A tool should retain enough hardness when it's very hot that it continues to cut. As temperature increases, some materials lose their hardness, becoming malleable or weak like rock at high temperatures. However, for tools to effectively cut at high temperatures, they need to maintain their hardness to carry out their function.
