Trowel used in brickwork or stonework for leveling, spreading and shaping mortar or concrete.
Tape measure and measuring tape used to measure distance
Wooden float or concrete float used to finish a concrete or mortar surface by making it smooth
and level.
Goggles, or safety glasses, are forms of protective eyewear that usually enclose or protect the
area surrounding the eye in order to prevent particulates, water or chemicals from striking the eyes.
A Helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head from injuries. More specifically,
a helmet aids the skull in protecting the human brain.
Rubber Boots are a piece of armor that provide adequate protection against falling damage.
Gloves resist puncture, cut, abrasion and chemicals.
Framing hammers, used for framing wooden houses, are heavy duty rip hammers with a
straight claw.
Hand saw used to cut pieces of wood into different shapes.
A spirit level, bubble level or simply a level is an instrument designed to indicate whether a
surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb).
screwdriver is a tool, manual or powered, for turning (driving or removing) screws.
chisel is a tool with a characteristically shaped cutting edge (such that wood chisels have lent part of
their name to a particular grind) of blade on its end, for carving or cutting a hard material such
as wood, stone, or metal by hand, struck with a mallet, or mechanical power.
Framing square used as a straight-edge, finding and establishing right angles and marking cut-
off work on widestock.
plumb bob, or plummet, is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, suspended from a
string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It employs the law of gravity to
establish what is plumb (that is, what is exactly vertical, or true).
Hacksaw a saw with a narrow fine-toothed blade set in a frame, used especially for cutting
metal.
Masons line used to create straight lines and a level surface. It is needed when laying
out posts, patios, footings and more. A mason's line is necessary when doing these
projects because you will not have to pick up the level so many times.
Brick Hammer, has one flat traditional face and a short or long chisel-shaped blade. It can thus be
used to chip off edges or small pieces of stone, cut brick or a concrete masonry unit, without using a
separate chisel.
paintbrush is a brush used to apply paint or sometimes ink.
Chalk line or chalk box is a tool for marking long, straight lines on relatively flat surfaces, much
farther than is practical by hand or with a straightedge.
shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk materials, such as sand, gravel, mortar and
concrete.
pickaxe, pick-axe, or pick is a hand tool with a hard head attached perpendicular to the
handle.The pointed edge is most often used to break up rocky surfaces or other hard surfaces.
The chiseled end, is used for purposes including cutting through roots.
Digging bar is a long, straight metal bar used as a post hole digger, to break up or loosen hard or
compacted materials such as soil, rock, concrete and ice or as a lever to move objects. Used for
breaking up clay, concrete, frozen ground, and other hard materials, moving or breaking up tree
roots and obstacles, and making holes in the ground for fence posts. They are often used where
space would not allow use of a pickaxe.
Concrete mixer is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or
gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the
components. For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete
can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it
hardens.
Hand tamper or tamp is a device used to compact or flatten an aggregate or another powdered or
granular material, typically to make it resistant to further compression or simply to increase its
density.
Concrete float is a tool used to finish a concrete surface by making it smooth. A float is used after
the surface has been made level using a screed. In addition to removing surface imperfections,
floating will compact the concrete as preparation for further steps.
Bucket is used to carry liquids and granular products
Club hammer used for hitting cold chisels to break masonry or simply to bash things up like a tiny
sledge hammer.
Sledgehammer similar hammer to a club hammer, except they have a longer handle and tend to be
a little heavier. They are used for breaking up masonry, stones and concrete. The longer handle will
provide huge momentum and hitting power when combined with the weight of the head.
tile cutters are used to cut tiles to a required size or shape. They come in a number of different
forms, from basic manual devices to complex attachments for power tools
concrete vibrator is a construction tool typically used on concrete pouring sites. The vibrators are
used to ensure that the pour is free of air bubbles and are even. This is so that the concrete remains
strong and has a smooth finish even after removal of the form work.
compactors are used for compacting crushed rock as the base layer underneath concrete or
stone foundations or slabs. The plate compactor (vibratory rammer) has a large vibrating
baseplate and is suited for creating a level grade, while the jumping jack compactor has a
smaller foot.
Ear protection refers to devices used to protect the ear, either externally from elements such
as cold, intrusion by water and other environmental conditions, debris, or specifically from noise.
High levels of exposure to noise may result in noise-induced hearing loss.
A utility knife is a knife used for general or utilitypurposes. The utility knife was originally a
fixedblade knife with a cutting edge suitable for general work such as cutting hides and
cordage, scraping hides, butchering animals, cleaning fish, and other tasks.
Putty knife used for scraping surfaces or spreading material such as plaster in various
construction trades.
