The word "meathead" was made up by writers for the All In The Family Show - Archie called his son-in-law meathead. ......dead from the neck up - referring to his brain as meat.
People use these lame names like pinhead, bonehead - also meathead.
Tool is just a useless inanimate object.

I'm really not sure where it started, however Archie Bunker made it popular when he kept referring to his son in law as "Meathead".
Archie used it because he thought his son-in-law was an idiot.
As far as "tool".... I'm not really sure where it came from, but a tool does nothing on it's own without someone w/ intellect using it to accomplish a task. So...

Meathead...has meat instead of brain in his head. Dense. Popularized by Archie Bunker in the TV show All in the Family.
Tool...inanimate object, can't think, useless.

meathead - someone with meat for brains instead of "brains" for brains. A dunce, a moron, or maybe a democrat.
tool - someone who blindly follows the script of another, doing their bidding without much reflection or thought. Sort of like how minorities almost always vote for democrats... they are liberal tools.

i don't know its origin, but it was an expression that Archie Bunker (All in the Family ... Sitcom in the early 1970's) often used to describe his son-in-law.
