An axe, a hatchet, a wedge and a maul are all examples of inclined planes and they can all be used to chop wood

The Philips screwdriver is easier to keep in the head of the screw. When wood is hard it's often difficult to keep a flat blade in the slot.

Depends on the size, but in general at least 2-3 times the cost of a comparable regular drill. I have a 1 inch diamond holesaw bit that cost $26 -A regular steel one is about 8-9.

A thin metal rod with a shaped point and a handle at the other end.

Slip joint pliers are common tools in the workshop typically used to pull things that are stuck.

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.

For removing fasteners at a faster rate by using a ratcheting wrench as opposed to the traditional combination wrench which requires you to remove the wrench and reposition it after the range if motion has been reached.

A tenon (also called a back saw or Jack saw) is a rigid back cutting saw used for cutting furniture joinery: tenon joints, housing dados, sliding dovetails, even box and flat finger joints. Tenon saws come in two basic varieties: rip for cutting with the grain, and crosscut for cutting across the grain.

For all practical purposes it's 9/16 inch.

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.
