A center punch is used to mark the centre of a point.

It is usually used to mark the centre of a

hole when drilling holes. A drill has the tendency to "wander" if it does not start in a recess. A
centre punch forms a large enough dimple to "guide" the tip of the drill. The Tip of Centre
Punch has an angle of 90 Degrees.[1] When drilling larger holes, and the web of the drill is
wider than the indentation produced by a centre punch, the drilling of a pilot hole is usually
needed.
An automatic centre punch operates without the need for a hammer.
Abench vise (American) or vice (British) is a mechanical apparatus used to secure an object
to allow work to be performed on it. Vises have two parallel jaws, one fixed and the other
movable, threaded in and out by a screw and lever.
A bench grinder is a type of benchtop grinding machine used to drive abrasive wheels. A
pedestal grinder is a larger version of a bench grinder that is mounted on a pedestal, which is
bolted to the floor. These types of grinders are commonly used to hand grind cutting tools and
perform other rough grinding.[1]
Depending on the grade of the grinding wheel it may be used for sharpening cutting tools
such as lathe tools or drill bits. Alternatively it may be used to roughly shape metal prior to
welding or fitting.
An adjustable wrench (US) or adjustable spanner (UK) is a wrench with a "jaw" of adjustable
width, allowing it to be used with different sizes of fastener head (nut,bolt, etc.) rather than
just one fastener, as with a conventional fixed spanner.
An anvil is a basic tool, a block with a hard surface on which another object is struck. The
block is as massive as it is practical, because the higher the inertia of the anvil, the more
efficiently it causes the energy of the striking tool to be transferred to the work piece. In most
cases the anvil is used as a forging tool. Before the advent of modern welding technology, it
was a primary tool of metal workers.[1][2]
A ball-peen (also spelled ball-pein[1]) hammer, also known as a machinist's hammer, is a type
of peening hammer used in metalworking. It is distinguished from a cross-peen hammer,
diagonal-peen hammer, point-peen hammer, orchisel-peen hammer by having a hemispherical
head. Though the process of peening (surface hardening by impact) has become rarer in metal
fabrication, the ball-peen hammer remains useful for many tasks, such as striking punches
and chisels (usually performed with the flat face of the hammer). The peening face is useful
for rounding off edges of metal pins and fasteners, such as rivets.
A chisel is 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 by hand, struck with a mallet, or mechanical power.[1]
The handle and blade of some types of chisel are made of metal or wood with a sharp edge in
it.
In use, the chisel is forced into the material to cut it. The driving force may be manually

applied or applied using a mallet or hammer. In industrial use, a hydraulic ram or falling
weight ('trip hammer') drives the chisel into the material to be cut.
A claw hammer is a tool primarily used for pounding nails into, or extracting nails from,
some other object. Generally, a claw hammer is associated withwoodworking but is not
limited to use with wood products. It is not suitable for heavy hammering on metal surfaces
(such as in machining work), as the steel of its head is somewhat brittle; the ball-peen
hammer is more suitable for such metalwork.
A cold chisel is a tool made of tempered steel used for cutting 'cold' metals, meaning that they
are not used in conjunction with heating torches, forges, etc. Cold chisels are used to remove
waste metal when a very smooth finish is not required or when the work cannot be done
easily with other tools, such as a hacksaw, file, bench shears or power tools.
A crosscut saw (thwart saw) is a general term for any saw blade for cutting
woodperpendicular (against) the wood grain. Crosscut saws may be small or large, with small
teeth close together for fine work like woodworking or large for course work likelog bucking,
and can be a hand tool or power tool.
Crow Bar It is used as a lever either to force apart two objects or to remove nails. Crowbars
are commonly used to open nailed wooden crates. Common uses for larger crowbars are:
removing nails, prying apart boards, and generally breaking things. Crowbars can be used as
any of the three lever classes but the curved end is usually used as a first-class lever, and the
flat end as a second class lever. Inmining, crowbars are used to break blasted rocks and to
remove loose rock on roof sides and the working face, but not much in modern mining.
A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a garment covering the wholehand.
Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb
A hacksaw is a fine-tooth hand saw with a blade held under tension in a frame, used for
cutting materials such as metal or plastics. Hand-held hacksaws consist of a metal arch with a
handle, usually a pistol grip, with pins for attaching a narrow disposable blade.
A jack plane is the general-purpose bench plane, used for general smoothing of the edges,
sizing of timber but only making it smaller to correct size wood edge jointing.
[clarification needed] Jack planes are about 12-15 inches long, and the blade can have either a
slightly curved edge for smoothing stock, or a straight edge for jointing stock.
Needle-nose pliers (also known as long-nose pliers, pinch-nose pliers or snipe-nose pliers)
are both cutting and holding pliers used by artisans, jewelry designers, electricians and other
tradesmen to bend, re-position and cut wire. Their namesake long nose gives excellent control
while the cutting edge near the pliers' joint provides "one-tool" convenience. Because of their
long shape they are useful for reaching into small areas where cables or other materials have
become stuck or unreachable with fingers or other means.

A micrometer (/makrmtr/ US dict: mkrmtr), sometimes known as a micrometer

screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated screwwidely used for precise
measurement of components[
Pliers are a hand tool used to hold objects firmly, possibly developed from tongsused to
handle hot metal in Bronze Age Europe.[1] They are also useful for bendingand compressing
a wide range of materials. Generally, pliers consist of a pair ofmetal first-class levers joined
at a fulcrum positioned closer to one end of the levers, creating short jaws on one side of the
fulcrum, and longer handles on the other side.[
A screwdriver is a tool, manual or powered, for turning (driving or removing)screws. A
typical simple screwdriver has a handle and a shaft, and a tip that the user inserts into the
screw head to turn it. The shaft is usually made of tough steel to resist bending or twisting.
The tip may be hardened to resist wear, treated with a dark tip coating for improved visual
contrast between tip and screwor ridged or treated for additional 'grip'. Handle are typically
wood, metal, or plastic[1] and usually hexagonal, square, or oval in cross-section to improve
grip and prevent the tool from rolling when set down. Some manual screwdrivers have
interchangeable tips that fit into a socket on the end of the shaft and are held in mechanically
or magnetically. These often have a hollow handle that contains various types and sizes of
tips, and a reversible ratchet action that allows multiple full turns without re-positioning the
tip or the user's hand.
A sledgehammer is a tool with a large, flat head attached to a lever (or handle). The head is
typically made of metal. The sledgehammer can apply more force than other hammers, due to
its large size. Along with the mallet, it shares the ability to distribute force over a wide area.
This is in contrast to other types of hammer, which concentrate force in a relatively small
area.
A try square is a woodworking or a metal working tool used for marking and measuring a
piece of wood. The square refers to the tool's primary use of measuring the accuracy of a
right angle (90 degrees); to try a surface is to check its straightness or correspondence to an
adjoining surface. A piece of wood that isrectangular, flat, and has all edges (faces, sides, and
ends) 90 degrees is called four square. A board is often milled four square in preparation for
using it in building furniture.[1]
The vernier, dial, and digital calipers give a direct reading of the distance measured with high
accuracy and precision.
Locking pliers, Mole grips (Mole wrench) or Vise-Grips are pliers that can be locked into
position, using an over-center action. One side of the handle includes a bolt that is used to
adjust the spacing of the jaws, the other side of the handle (especially in larger models) often
includes a lever to push the two sides of the handles apart to unlock the pliers. "Mole" and
"Vise-Grip" are trade names of different brands of locking pliers.

A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM (Volt-Ohm meter), is anelectronic

measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical
multimeter would include basic features such as the ability to measure voltage, current, and
resistance
Welding helmets are headgear used when performing certain types of welding to protect the
eyes, face and neck from flash burn, ultraviolet light, sparks, infrared light, and heat. Most
commonly used with arc welding processes such as shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten
arc welding, and gas metal arc welding
A meter stick is a measurement tool that measures length in metres. The measurement is done
by placing the meter stick against the object whose measurements are to be taken and the
readings read from zero. The readings can then be converted in to other units such as
centimetres, inches and feet as deemed convenient.
Vise-grip pliers have a myriad of uses beyond removing broken screws and loosening frozen
nuts. You can use them to clamp small things in place, to remove stripped or broken screws
and even to open a zipper when the pull breaks off. Vise-grip pliers are also good in a pinch
to close off a leaky radiator tube until you can get your car to the service station. But be
careful with them: Since they're so strong, you can accidentally damage or break whatever it
is you're clamping. Vise-grip pliers have a myriad of uses beyond removing broken screws

The function of a socket wrench is to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts. It doesthis better by
completely encompassing all sides of the nut.
A steel tape is a tape measure that is made of steel and is marked off in a linear scale. The
scale could be in inches and/or centimeters. The steel tape is used for taking measurements
and it is also referred to as a tapeline.
