Hand tools covers wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, saws and many others I can't think of at this moment. I have 3 tool boxes of hand tools that I use regularly. One is auto related, including box wrenches, Allen keys, small sockets etc. The next box is all my Plumbing and electrical tools, electricians pliers, wire cutters, multi-bit screwdrivers, screw-gripping drivers, basin wrench, seat wrenches, pipe cutters etc. The third is all assorted heavy tools, big sockets and bars, heavy hammers, chisels, dead-blow hammers etc.

Power tools I use regularly are in my van in a large drawer , an 8 1/4 DeWalt rotary saw, (one of the last good tools made in USA), a DeWalt demolition saw, a B&D heavy duty drill (Made in Italy in 1978), a Bosch jigsaw,(made in Switzerland) All of these tools were made properly and have lasted me for years. The only Chinese tools I use are 4" angle grinders, which I buy cheap and they last me about a year.

  • The automotive hand tools are very important and with their ergonomic design and varied sizes, they can do an excellent job of reaching into tight areas, making them easy to move around engine parts.
  • · tools make life easier because they ease the work man has to do with his own hands. Not only do power tools help you finish a job in a fraction of the time you would have taken if you attempted to do it without them, it also produces better results.
