WOODSHOP TOOLS

 Open end Spanner:


It is the most common type and may have a single or double end. The head has its jaws
offset by about 15 degree from the run of shaft. This makes them to use in confined
space.

 Close end Spanner:


The most useful spanner having offset heads, allowing the spanner to connect with nuts
in awkward place and too give room to your hand to move without hitting the workpiece.
 Claw Hammer:
A claw hammer is a tool primarily used for pounding nails into, or extracting
nails from, some other object. Generally, a claw hammer is associated
with woodworking but is not limited to use with wood products. It is not suitable for
heavy hammering on metal surfaces.

 Mallet:
A mallet is a kind of hammer, often made of rubber or sometimes wood, that is smaller
than a maul or beetle, and usually has a relatively large head. The term is descriptive of
the overall size and proportions of the tool, and not the materials it may be made of,
though most mallets have striking faces that are softer than steel.
 Pliers:
Pliers are a hand tool used to hold objects firmly, possibly developed from tongs used to
handle hot metal in Bronze Age Europe. They are also useful for bending and
compressing a wide range of materials.

 Nose Pliers:
Needle-nose pliers are both cutting and holding pliers used by artisans, jewellery
designers, electricians, network engineers and other tradesmen to bend, re-position and
snip wire. Their namesake long nose gives excellent control while the cutting edge near
the pliers' joint provides "one-tool" convenience.
 Chisel:
A long-bladed hand tool with a beveled cutting edge and a handle which is struck with a
hammer or mallet, used to cut or shape wood, stone, or metal.

 Steel Rule:
The steel rule is a basic measuring tool. When used correctly, a good steel rule is a
surprisingly accurate measuring device. 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.
 Folding Foot Rule:
Folding rules, sometimes called zig-zag rules or jointed rules, are a series of two or
more smaller rulestrips joined with hinges. These rules can be folded together to be
carried easily, or used in confined spaces.

 Try Square:
A try square is a woodworking or a metalworking tool used for marking and measuring a
piece of wood. The square refers to the tool's primary use of measuring the accuracy of
a right angle (90 degrees); to try a surface is to check its straightness or
correspondence to an adjoining surface.
 Wood Saw:
A saw is a tool consisting of a tough blade, wire, or chain with a hard toothed edge. It is
used to cut through material, very often wood. The cut is made by placing the toothed
edge against the material and moving it forcefully forth and less forcefully back or
continuously forward.

 Rasp File:
A rasp is coarse form of file used for coarsely shaping wood or other material. Typically
a hand tool, it consists of a generally tapered rectangular, round, or half-round
sectioned bar of case hardened steel with distinct, individually cut teeth. A narrow,
pointed tang is common at one end, to which a handle may be fitted.
 Nail Puller:
A nail puller is a hand tool specifically designed for pulling out nails, even if they are
sunken into the wood. Nail puller is also a general name given to any tool that is
designed to help extract nails that have been fixed in place.

 Steel Tape:
A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible ruler and used to measure distance. It
consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, fibre glass, or metal strip with linear-measurement
markings Surveyors use tape measures in lengths of over 100 m (300+ ft).
 Hand Drill Machine:
A hand drill is a manual tool that converts and amplifies circular motion of the crank into
circular motion of a drill chuck. Though it has been replaced in most applications by
power drills, the hand drill is used by many woodworkers.

 Jack Planer:
A jack planer is a general-purpose woodworking bench plane, used for dressing timber
down to the correct size in preparation for truing and or edge jointing. Jack planes are
12–18 inches (300–460 mm) long and 2.5–3 inches (64–76 mm) wide, with wooden-
stocked planes sometimes being slightly wider.
 Wood Planer:
A wood planer is a tool for shaping wood using muscle power to force the cutting blade
over the wood surface. A wooden plane is entirely wood except for the blade. The iron
is held into the plane with a wooden wedge, and is adjusted by striking the plane with a
hammer.
