TOOL’S NAME DEFINITION / FUNCTION


1- LEVEL -Instrument used in building and carpentry to determine a
level or horizontal plane. The device consists of a horizontal,
slightly curved glass tube filled with a spirit such as alcohol
or ether, with a single air bubble. The tube is embedded in a
wooden base with its convex side upward and its exposed
surface marked with a scale. When the tube is placed on a
level surface, the air bubble rises to the top, indicating that
equilibrium exists. Any angular changes of inclination are
shown on the scale bythe movement of the bubble.
2- MALLET -tool resembling hammer: a tool with a large usually
wooden or metal head that is used for drivinganother tool
such as a chisel or for striking or moulding a material.
The head of a mallet is larger than that of a hammer and
usually cylindrical in shape.

3- STEEL SQUARE -a tool that carpenters use. They use many tools to lay out a
square or right-angle, many of which are made of steel, but
the title steel square refers to a specific long armed square
that has additional uses for measurement, especially of
angles, as well as simple right angles. Today the steel square
is more commonly referred to as the framing square. It
consists of a long arm and a shorter one, which meet at an
angle of 90 degrees (a right angle).
It can also be made of metals like aluminium, which is light
and resistant to rust.

4- TRI SQUARE -woodworking tool: a woodworking tool used to test and


mark out right angles, consisting of a rectangular handle
with a thin flat rectangular metal blade fitted perpendicular
to it.
5- BLOCK PLANE -small carpenters plane: a small carpenters plane with
the blade at a low pitch.
Use: cutting across the grain of wood.

6- JACK PLANE -tool for smoothing surfaces: a large carpentry plane


used for rough planning of wood and other surface.

7- SCREW DRIVERS -tool for driving screws and rotating other machine
elements with the mating drive system. The screw driver
is made up of a head or tip, which engages with a screw,
a mechanism to apply torque by rotating the tip, and
some way to position and support the screw driver.

8- DRIFT PINCHES -name for a tool used for enlarging holes, or aligning
holes prior to bolting or riveting metal parts together. A
drift pin is not used as a punch in the traditional sense of
the term. A drift pin, is used as an aid in aligning bolt.
Punch is constructed as a tapered rod, with the hammer
acting on the large end of the taper. The tapered end of a
drift punch is placed into the semi-aligned bolt holes of
two separate components, and then driven into the hole.
As it is driven in, the taper forces the two components
into alignment, allowing for easy insertion of the
fastener. Unlike most punches, forces should never be
applied to the tip of drift pin.
9- CENTER PUNCHES -tool used to make guiding hole: in metalworking, a
pointed tool used for making a dimple to guide a drill bit
prior to drilling a hole.

10- COLD CHISELS -chisel for metal: a tool consisting of a solid metal shaft
with a sharply bevelled point or edge that is struck with a
hammer or mallet.
Use: to break up or shape hard materials such as metal or
stone.

11- PLIERS -gripping tool: a hand tool with two hinged arms ending
in jaws that are closed by hand pressure to grip
something.

12- LEATHER PUNCH -a measuring device. The rule is appearing in astrolabes


where they rotate over the rete and are marked with a
scale of declinations.

13- ELECTRIC PLIERS -type of pliers used by electricians and other tradesmen
primarily for gripping, twisting, bending and cutting wire
and cable.

14- WOOD CHISELS -a tool with a characteristically shaped cutting edge (such
that wood chisels have lent part of their name to a
particular grind) of blade on its end, for carving or cutting
a hard material such as wood, stone, or metal. The
handle and blade of some types of chisel are made of
metal or wood with a sharp edge in it.
15- AUTOMATIC DRILL -part of tool that bores holes: a long pointed piece of
metal that is held in a machine and rotated at high speed
to bore holes in hard substances such as wood, metal,
masonry, or rock.

16- AUGER BITS -the most common tool for drilling wood is the auger bit,
which is provided with single or double helical cutting
surfaces and is revolved by a hand-operated crank like
brace or an electric motor. A number of special forms of
wood bits are also employed, including the expanding bit,
which has a central guide screw and a radial cutting arm
that can be adjusted to drill holes of different sizes.

17- NAIL SETS -tool for making nail lie flat: a tool that pushes a nail level
with or lower than the surrounding surface.

18- BRACE -tool for holding drill bit: a tool with an adjustable socket
at one end for holding a drill bit, and a handle like a crank
at the other for turning the bit.
19- TACK HAMMER -a hammer with a small head designed for pounding
in small nails. Tack hammers are commonly used for
cabinetwork, moulding, trim, and upholster. They
have a wooden weighing 5 to 8 ounces. Some
models have a slotted, magnetic face that holds nails
for starting them, and a plain face to drive them
flush. Others have a small nail-removing claw instead
of the magnetic face.

20- MACHINIST HAMMER -is a type of peening hammer used in metal working.
It is distinguished from a point-peen hammer or
chisel-peen hammer by having a hemispherical head.
Though the process of peening has become rarer in
metal fabrication, the ball-peen hammer remains
useful for many tasks, such as striking punches and
chisels.

21- FIVE POUND HAMMER -it is a tool used primarily on metal work.

22- CLAW HAMMER -hammer with fork at head: a hammer with a


tapered fork at one end of its head for removing
nails.
23- HATCHET -small short handle axe: a small axe that can be used with
one hand.

24- COMPASS SAW -a handsaw with a narrow blade for cutting curves.

25- SAWS -tool with a metal blade designed to cut wood, plastic,
metal, and other materials. The blade of a saw has small,
sharp metal teeth along the cutting edge. The teeth are
slightly bent alternately to either side of the blade; this
makes the kerf (groove) cut by the saw slightly wider than
the blade itself, preventing the saw blade from binding
against the material being cut. There are basically two
kinds of saws: handsaws and power saws.

26- PIPE WRENCHES -Two jawed wrench: a wrench with two adjustable,
usually ridged jaws, one fixed and one moveable, used to
grip and turn pipes and other tubular objects.
27- WRECKING BAR -crowbar: a short crowbar forked at one end and bent at
the other to provide leverage.

28- HACK SAW -saw for cutting metal: a handsaw with a small toothed
steel blade stretched taut across a frame, used for cutting
metal.

29- BLADES(HACK SAW) -blades for the hack saw.

30- TIN SNIPS -shears: shears used for cutting sheet metal.
31- CRESCENT WRENCHES -actually a brand name for an adjustable wrench
which features a sliding jaw that changes the width
of the wrench depending upon how wide your bolt
is. It’s called a “crescent” because of the shape of
the head of the wrench, which is shaped like a
crescent moon. The crescent company’s version
was so widely used that it became the common
name of the tool for many situations.

32- END WRENCHES -A tool used to provide grip and mechanical


advantage in applying torque to turn objects
usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts or
keep them from turning.

33- File Cleanser -It is used to clean files to prevent rusting.

34- Files -metal tool: a metal tool, usually long and narrow
and with sharpened ridges on one or more of its
surfaces, that is used to smooth down or wear away
wood or metal.
