Answer:

Yes They were weak

Explanation:

Copper offered people a great advantage over stone. The metal was far more durable than the stone tools they had previously used, which could shatter if hit too hard. Metal tools could also hold a sharper edge. Gold was far too soft for anything but ornamentation, but copper made metal tools possible for the first time.

Originally, metallurgy, the science and craft of metalworking, was quite simple and involved forming tools from copper by hammering the metal. Around 4500 BCE, someone discovered that copper hardened if it was melted down and allowed to resolidify. This process, called smelting.
