Hand Tools

The oil serves to to remove the heat of from friction between the oil stone and the parts of the tool in contact with it. It also washes away the products of wear, the swarf - the particles of stone and steel that are worn off by the grinding action. These are the same reasons that water is used on a grind stone.

because its harder in...hardness than the material you are chiseling and chips away pieces because it is 'pointy' and penetrates the material being chiseled out.

The maintenance needed for the blades of cutting tools is sharpening or replacing the blades when they get dull. For power cutting tools, oil must be checked and added when low. If they have a spark plug, they must be replaced from time to time. For battery cutting tools, the battery must be charged when low and new ones must be purchased from time to time.

Powered cutting tools must be kept out of the rain. Blades of cutting tools need to be kept clean.

Tongue in groover type pliers made by the Channel Lock Inc tool company of USA.

You first make sure the socket in the head is clear and smooth. Fit your shaft into this socket and bang the other end on a firm surface, -the head will settle into position, but now needs to be pounded on with a soft face or dead blow hammer. When the end of the shaft is level with end of head you have it in position. Now you pound a small metal wedge into the end of the shaft to spread it. These wedges are available in all hardware stores in packs of 3-4 quite cheaply.

hoe, handfork, spade, shovel

to cut very easily round objects and material

A garden tool that is used for digging and starts with the letter "s" is the garden shovel called a spade.

Diagonal pliers (alos called wire cutters or diagonal-cutting pliers) are pliers intended for the cutting of wire (they are generally not used to grab or turn anything). They are sometimes called side cutting pliers or side cutters, although these terms are shared by other pliers designs, such as lineman's pliers, and may lead to confusion. The plane defined by the cutting edges of the jaws intersects the joint rivet at an angle or "on a diagonal", hence the name. Instead of using a shearing action as with scissors, they cut by indenting and wedging the wire apart. The jaw edges are ground to a symmetrical "V" shape; thus the two jaws can be visualized to form the letter "X", as seen end-on when fully occluded. The pliers are made of tempered steel and inductive heating and quenching are often used to selectively harden the jaws.

a flat head screwdriver is used to drive or to screw screws.

For a crosshead screw the "Phillips" screwdriver is used .

A hacksaw is used to cut metals. The blades are easily changeable and come in many tooth sizes. Very hard metals like tool steel need many small teeth, so here you would fit a very hard 32 or 36 tpi blade (teeth per inch). Softer metals can be cut with cheaper blades with teeth of about 12 -16 per inch.

Cutting wire or wire nails, twisting wire, and using them as a temporary clamp are all appropriate uses of lineman's pliers. I've even used them to hold a nail in a particularly precarious position so that I could safely drive in the nail with a hammer.

chisel is when you would use a chisel, (a tool), to carve any shape or whatever out.

carving is when you you use any carving tool to get a shape.

Pliers make work easier by holding parts. By gripping small things in awkward locations. In the case of long-nose pliers by reaching into places you can't get fingers in. Many other uses are found almost every time you use pliers.

A light (as in light-weight) hoe is a hand-held garden tool. It is used to weed between rows of plants or vegetables. It is a long pole with a squarish metal blade on one end. The blade is pushed into the top of the soil to chop off weeds at their roots.

A 10mm wrench, or if you don't have metric wrenches, a 13/32 wrench.

Keep the blade lightly oiled and every time you use it, sharpen the bladeon a 25 deg. angle.

Many tradespeople in all facets of industry use wrenches. They are widely used by auto mechanics, aircraft technicians, hydro workers, electricians, plumbers, bicycle mechanics, small engine technicians, truck mechanics, and many other people. Most of us have at least two sets, SAE and Metric wrenches plus an adjustable or crescent wrench. There are many kinds of specialist wrenches too.

handheld saws have two main types; the coping saw and the tenon saw. The coping saw has a thin blade allowing for intricate curves whereas the tennon has a very thick blade so is good for straight edges.

In terms of electrical saws there is the scroll saw; another one that has a thin blade which is pused up and down in quick succesion to create a cutting arm.

Similar to this is the jigsaw which works on the same principal but is free-standing and can be moved around giving you more freedom.

There is also the band saw, which has a long ring blade which circulates on two pulleys. This gives a very strong cutting motion and is used for thicker materials.

Answer

Basically there are two types of hand saw'

A cross cut saw which cuts across the grain of the wood.

A rip saw that cuts along the grain of the wood.

Wedge the tip under the lid and rotate the can, moving the top around a bit at a time. It will come off , but not all at once.

They are pliers with 2-3 rounded indents on the jaw that will crimp different sizes of bead or electrical connector.

The longer handle gives you more leverage.

You use Force to push or pull an object in an attempt to make it move.

When you want to cause something to rotate (tighten or loosen a nut for example), you need Torque.

Torque = the force you apply to your spanner times the distance your hand is from the nut you are trying to turn.

Thus, if you have a longer spanner, you can place your hand farther from the nut and the Torque on the nut will increase.

You have to be careful about long handled wrenches or slipping a piece of pipe over a wrench to make it longer as you can generate so much Torque that you can snap the bolt clean off or strip the threads.

If you have to tighten a nut/bolt very firmly, but don't want to strip/snap it, you can use a Torque Wrench. It has a gauge that tells you how much Torque you are applying to the nut/bolt so that you can tighten it to specifications without going over.
