Hand Tools

With the plethora of different types of saws available, it can sometimes be difficult to know which saw is the right one for the job. From band saws to miter saws, eBay can provide listings for any type of cutting tool, so research is key when looking for the appropriate saw when buying online. This guide will sort through the major categories of saws, and describe the tasks for which they work best. The broadest type of distinction between saws is whether they are hand saws or mechanically powered saws. Keep in mind that saws can go by several names, depending upon regional and cultural variations in nomenclature, so be sure to include several different variations when searching, so you can maximize the number of available search results.

A hacksaw would be used to saw any metals.

A stone age axe blade.

Flat nose pliers are to hold and grip things, or to twist wires together as for electrical connections.

A wooden mallet is usually used to strike the end of the chisel's handle when the chisel is used to remove waste wood.

Pliers are made of steel. There are plastic pliers for children too.

It is impossible to say exactly where pliers were invented.

Wherever fire was tamed by early humans, there would be a need for a wooden stick to manage the coals. Then two sticks would be used to lift and move hot objects. Then a partly broken branch with both halves still attached to each other would create natural tongs. Then two sticks would be joined together by wrappings of vines to form rough pliers.

Any location that shows early forging of metals can be guaranteed to have seen the use of wooden, and then bronze, pliers for handling the hot metal.

Early humans were not stupid. Pliers were probably invented many times, in many places.

There are electricians straight pliers, wiring pliers, long nose pliers, angled long nose pliers, side cutting pliers, parallel jaw pliers, locking pliers, aircraft twist locking pliers, channel lock pliers, oil wrench pliers, water pump pliers and fencing pliers. -I have each of these and I'm sure there are many more kinds.

Slotted screws were invented at a time when screws did not require so much torque to tighten them ,and when tool making was less complex. Now that many other screw drive systems have been invented, ( Philips, Robertson, Torx, Allen, Bristol etc) the slotted screw has gradually become an anachronism.

Cold chisels are a blacksmithing tool that is used without fire or heat sources, hence the name cold chisel. These tools look like other types of chisels and can even resemble wood working chisels. However, they are much heavier looking upon closer inspection and typically are black or dark in color. They are completely made of metal as well, and do not have handles like a woodworking chisel.

Because it holds the screw straight while you insert it. There is also a 'split blade' screwdriver for this purpose.

A range of wrenches going from 3/16 up to 3/4 inch , composing 10-12 wrenches is usually considered a complete set. Many mechanics have these sets in SAE and metric and in flat, box and ratchet.
