A socket wrench can drive sockets that totally encompass a nut or bolt head, thus getting a much better grip of it than a wrench.

A Phillips screwdriver shaft is round with a pointed head with 4 tapering splines that engage the cross shaped indent in the screw head.

The coping saw cuts softer materials, such as styrofoam and wood.

For cutting a variety of straight or angled cuts at varied depths.

Because the long handle allows more leverage to be applied to the nut.

A bubble of air is in a small slightly curved tube of alcohol. The bubble will float at the highest point and indicate level or not level.

A standard screwdriver would be a common one , usually 6" blade in flat, phillips or robertson.

Long nose pliers. These are very handy pliers to have in your toolbox. I have several, of differing lengths and shape. Some of mine have angled jaws, some others have extra long jaws. I used two different ones on a job today.

For holding small screws in awkward locations, so you don't have to hold them with fingers.

No, the hex key for fitting it is part of the saw.

Screwdrivers require little maintenance, -just common sense. Don't use the blade as a crowbar, keep it straight, don't crush the handle or put it into chemicals. In general just take care of it.

Make sure the hammer actually hits the end of the chisel, not your hand. Make sure the pointed end of the chisel is held firmly against what you wish to break or move.

That's a matter of objective opinion, but I believe Hawk scrollsaws to be the best make. Their Hawk G4 is an excellent and very well built scrollsaw.

Posidrive is a variation or improvement on the Phillips screwdriver. It has flat sided faces, instead of the slightly tapering Phillips, but this is only really an advantage when using posidrive screws.

Wheelbarrows are used to tansport heavy or otherwise unyieldy loads. They were instrumental in technological advancement.

The sharpest handsaws are made of highly tempered steel. The sharpest power saw blades are carbide tipped.

There are bits called 'fly cutters'. I have one that cuts up to 8" diameter and is very good with thin woods and all plastics. I have seen more robust ones in specialty wood stores.

Not unless it was reasonably loose. Usually when faced with this, I drill into the bolt with a very hard drill bit a tiny bit thinner than the bolt - ie if it's a 3/8 bolt, I drill in first with a 1/8 drill to create a guide hole, then after with a 5/16 drill to cut right through, yet not harm the threads. You have to be very careful to stick to an exactly straight course. After the hole is cleared, I pull the threads left from the bolt out as far as I can, then use a 'clearance' tap of bolt size to re-tap the hole.

The Milwuakee Electric Tool Co. had the first use of the sawzall in 1952.

There are few potential risks as long as you follow general safety rules and keep your hands away from the blade while it is in motion. A scroll saw is not a particularly dangerous tool.

A brad gun, as the name implies, is a power tool that shoots brads, a kind of a small nail. Brad guns are usually powered by compressed air.

It has hammer action, which I assume is what you mean.

A volt-amp (va) is the same as a watt (w). A 2.8 kva generator can provide 2800 w of power which is more than sufficient for a 1000 w saw, as long as the safety circuit breaker on the generator can handle the load.

Short answer, yes.
