A wire brush is a tool consisting of a brush whose bristles are made of wire, most often steel wire.

The steel used is generally a medium- to high-carbon variety and very hard and springy. Other wire
brushes feature bristles made from brass or stainless steel, depending on application.

Sandpaper and glasspaper[1] are names used for a type of coated abrasive that consists of sheets
of paper or cloth with abrasive material glued to one face. Despite the use of the names neither sand
nor glass are now used in the manufacture of these products as they have been replaced by other
abrasives such as aluminium oxide or silicon carbide. Sandpaper is produced in a range of grit sizes
and is used to remove material from surfaces, either to make them smoother (for example,
in painting and wood finishing), to remove a layer of material (such as old paint), or sometimes to make
the surface rougher (for example, as a preparation for gluing). It is common to use the name of the
abrasive when describing the paper, e.g. "aluminium oxide paper", or "silicon carbide paper".

Cleaning Cloth A cloth used for cleaning; specifically, a cotton fabric of coarse spongy texture,
woven by the aid of two needle-bars.
Tinner's snips, also known as tinner snips or tin snips, are one of the most popular type of snips. They
are defined by their long handles and short blades. They usually have extra wide jaws and are made
of drop forged carbon steel.

Pliers are a hand tool used to hold objects firmly, possibly developed from tongs used to handle hot
metal in Bronze Age Europe.[1] They are also useful for bending and compressing a wide range of
materials.

A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw, originally and mainly made for cutting metal. The equivalent saw for
cutting wood is usually called bow saw.

A drill is a tool primarily used for making round holes or driving fasteners. It is fitted with a bit, either
a drill or driver, depending on application, secured by a chuck. Some powered drills also include
a hammer function.
Drills vary widely in speed, power, and size. They are characteristically corded electrically driven
devices, with hand operated types dramatically decreasing in popularity and cordless battery powered
ones proliferating.
Drills are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, machine tool fabrication, construction and
utility projects. Specially designed versions are made for medicine, space, and miniature applications.
An edge trimmer or lawn edger is a garden tool, either manual or motorised,[1] to form distinct
boundaries between a lawn, typically consisting of a grass, or other soft botanical ground cover, and
another ground surface feature such as a paved, concreted or asphalted area, or a granular material
such as sand or gravel, or simply uncovered soil, for example an unbounded garden.

A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is one of power tools or machine tools used
for grinding, it is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of
abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the workpiece via shear deformation.
Grinding is used to finish workpieces that must show high surface quality (e.g., low surface roughness)
and high accuracy of shape and dimension. As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is of the order
of 0.000025 mm, in most applications it tends to be a finishing operation and removes comparatively
little metal, about 0.25 to 0.50 mm depth. However, there are some roughing applications in which
grinding removes high volumes of metal quite rapidly. Thus, grinding is a diverse field.

A flexible steel rule which coils into a case when not in use Explanation of push-pull rule.

The steel rule is a basic measuring tool. When used correctly, a good steel rule is a surprisingly
accurate measuring device. What is a steel rule? Some people confuse rules and scales. A scale is
a measuring device used by architects and engineers that assists them in making drawings to a scale
other than full size.

A caliper (British spelling also calliper, or in plurale tantum sense a pair of calipers) is a device used
to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object. Many types of calipers permit
reading out a measurement on a ruled scale, a dial, or a digital display. But a caliper can be as simple
as a compass with inward or outward-facing points. The tips of the caliper are adjusted to fit across
the points to be measured and then the caliper is then removed and the distance read by measuring
between the tips with a measuring tool, such as a ruler.

A torque wrench is a tool used to apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut or bolt. It is
usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms.
A torque wrench is used where the tightness of screws and bolts is crucial. It allows the operator to
set the torque applied to the fastener so it can be matched to the specifications for a particular
application. This permits proper tension and loading of all parts. A torque wrench uses torque as a
proxy for bolt tension. The technique suffers from inaccuracy due to inconsistent or uncalibrated friction
between the fastener and its mating hole. Measuring bolt tension (indirectly via bolt stretch) is actually
what is desired, but often torque is the only practical measurement which can be made.
Torque screwdrivers and torque wrenches have similar purposes and mechanisms
A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter), is
an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A
typical multimeter can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog multimeters uses
a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings. Digital multimeters (DMM, DVOM) have
a numeric display, and may also show a graphical bar representing the measured value. Digital
multimeters are now far more common due to their lower cost and greater precision, but analog
multimeters are still preferable in some cases, for example when monitoring a rapidly varying value.

A pencil is an implement for writing or drawing, constructed of a narrow, solid pigment core in a
protective casing that prevents the core from being broken and/or marking the user's hand.
Pencils create marks by physical abrasion, leaving a trail of solid core material that adheres to a sheet
of paper or other surface. They are distinct from pens, which dispense liquid or gel ink onto the marked
surface.

Medical Definition of chalkstone : a concretion resembling chalk that is composed mainly of urate of
sodium and found especially in and about the small joints of persons suffering from gout : tophus.

A scriber is a hand tool used in metal work to mark lines on workpieces, prior to machining. The
process of using a scriber is called scribing and is just part of the process of marking out. It is used
instead of pencils or ink lines, because the marks are hard to see, easily erased, and inaccurate due
to their wide mark; scribe lines are thin and semi-permanent. On non-coated workpieces marking
blue is commonly used to increase the contrast of the mark lines.[1]
They are a rod with a tip made of cast steel that has been hardened and tempered. The point is
sharpened to an angle of 30 or 40 degrees.[2] Some scribers have a point at both ends. It is used by
dragging the point over the surface of the workpiece to leave a shallow scratch on its surface.
A wrench or spanner is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying torque to
turn objects—usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts—or keep them from turning.

A feeler gauge is a tool used to measure gap widths. Feeler gauges are mostly used in engineering
to measure the clearance between two parts.
