About changing into indirect speech:

• The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
• When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed and 'that' must be used in its place.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form. But here inside the quotes we see that there is an eternal truth.
• Proverbs and eternal truths need not be changed into past tense while converting into indirect speech. Thus is remains the same.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly, if needed. But here even within quotations we have third person (his), which need not be changes in reported form.
• Therefore the answer is: He said that a bad carpenter quarrels with his tools.
