Ripsaw
A Ripsaw is a wood saw that is
specially designed for making a rip
cut, a cut made parallel to the
direction of the wood grain.

Characteristic: Have large teeth

designed to cut wood fibers.

Usage: Ideal for cutting wood along

the grain.
Crosscut Saw A crosscut saw (thwart saw) is any saw
designed for cutting wood
perpendicular to (across) the wood
grain. Crosscut saws may be small or
large, with small teeth close together
for fine work like woodworking or
large for coarse work like log bucking.

Characteristic: Features smaller

teeth, designed to cut wood
fibers perpendicularly.

Usage: Perfect for cutting wood

across the grain.
Hacksaw
A hacksaw is a type of hand
tool designed specifically for
cutting through materials such
as plastic, steel, and other
metals.

Characteristic: A C-shaped
frame holding a blade under
tension.

Usage: Mostly used for cutting

metal or plastic.
Chainsaw
A chainsaw is a portable saw
that cuts with a set of teeth
attached to a spinning chain
pulled along a guide bar.

Characteristic: Has a chain with

numerous sharp teeth.

Usage: Commonly used for tree

cutting and large timber tasks.
Circular Saw
A circular saw or a buzz saw, is
a power-saw using a toothed
or abrasive disc or blade to cut
different materials using a
rotary motion spinning around
an arbor.

Characteristic: Uses a round blade

to make straight cuts.

Usage: Suitable for cutting lumber

and other similar materials.
Jigsaw
A jigsaw is a sharp power tool
that's used for cutting curvy lines
in wood or other materials. While
most saws can only cut in a
straight line, a jigsaw makes it
easier to cut complicated
patterns and shapes.

Characteristic: Utilizes a reciprocating

blade.

Usage: Ideal for curved and intricate

cuts in wood.
Table Saw Table saws are versatile saws used for
cutting across (crosscut) and with
(rip) the wood grain. They are most
commonly used to rip. After adjusting
the height and angle of the blade, the
operator pushes the stock into the
blade to make the cut. A guide (fence)
is used to maintain a straight cut
parallel to the blade.

Characteristic: Features a circular blade

mounted on a table.

Usage: Provides precise cuts in large

pieces of wood or metal.
Mitre Saw
A mitre saw is a type of stationary saw
designed to make precision cuts at
multiple angles. The blade is pulled
downwards onto the material, unlike
with a circular saw where it feeds
through the material. Mitre saws are
best for cutting longer boards thanks to
their large cutting capacities.

Characteristic: A specialized tool that

lets you make precise angled cuts.

Usage: Perfect for framing and molding.

Cutter Cutter knife also known as wallpaper
knife, is used for art and crafts, mainly
used to cut soft things.

Characteristic: mostly composed of

plastic handle and blade with pull-out
structure. There are a few metal
handle, mostly beveled blade to use
easily.

Usage: to mark cut lines, trim plastic or

wood materials, or to cut tape, cord,
strapping, cardboard, or other
packaging material.
Scissors
Scissors are devices used for cutting
materials such as paper, cloth, and
hair, consisting of two sharp blades
that are joined in the middle, and
two handles with holes to put your
fingers through.

Usage: cuts, sculpts, scrapes, or

shapes stone, wood, and metal by
hammering, manual pushing, electric
power, or pneumatic machinery.
Chisel
A chisel is a cutting tool with a
sharpened edge at the end of a
metal blade, used—often by driving
with a mallet or hammer—in
dressing, shaping, or working a solid
material such as wood, stone, or
metal.

Usage: cuts, sculpts, scrapes, or

shapes stone, wood, and metal by
hammering, manual pushing, electric
power, or pneumatic machinery.
Screwd
rivers
 The handle is the part of the screwdriver that
Parts of a Screwdriver the user holds and twists. While some may be
wood or carbon fiber, they’re generally a hard
plastic or nylon and some feature rubber grips.

The shaft or shank is the long section that

connects the tip to the handle. These are
generally smooth and polished for easy
cleaning, but some may be hexagonal or
partially hexagonal to allow the user to place a
wrench on the shaft. They vary in length from
stubby (under 2 inches) to very long (over 12
inches).

The drive tip or bit is arguably the most

important part of the screwdriver as it
determines which fasteners the screwdriver can
engage to tighten or loosen. Common
screwdriver bits include slotted, Phillips,
Pozidriv, Torx, square, star, security or tamper-
proof bits, and hex or Allen bits.
Flathead Screwdriver

A flat screwdriver is a screwdriver

with a wedge-shaped flat tip, used to
tighten or loosen screws that have a
straight, linear notch in their heads.
Flat-head screwdrivers are commonly
used as visible fixings on window
frames, mirrors and sockets.

Best For: Electrical cover applications

and some woodworking and cabinet-
making scenarios where overtightening
could split wood.
Philips Screwdriver

The Phillips screwdriver is mostly

used in the automotive industry and
it has a cross (X) shape at the tip.
This type of tool is used to turn
screws with more torque to achieve
the desired fit and is less prone to
slippage. Using a Phillips screwdriver
may require greater grip strength.

Best For: General purpose fastening,

assembly, and repairs.
Pozidriv Screwdriver

Pozidriv screwdrivers are essentially

an upgraded version of Philips. They
were designed to reduce cam-out,
which is the process where a
screwdriver slips out of the screw
head when more torque is applied.

Best For: Heavy-duty construction

screws and anywhere a Phillips
screw could be used.
Robertson Screwdriver

Robertson screwdrivers are easy to

use one-handed, because the
tapered socket tends to retain the
screw, even if it is shaken. They also
allow the use of angled screwdrivers
and trim-head screws.

Best For: Construction, remodeling,

cabinetry, pocket hole joinery
Torx Screwdriver

A torx screwdriver is a hand tool used

for tightening and untightening torx
screws on a range of applications. A
torx screwdriver features a torx tip
type that enhances torque and grip of
the screw. They resist slippage during
applications that require serious
power.

Best For: DIY, structural framing, finish

work, wood-to-concrete scenarios,
automotive, bicycling.
Hexagon Screwdriver

Hex screwdrivers have a tip that is

recognizable as the shape of a
hexagon with its six straight sides. A
hex screwdriver is used to fasten
bolts and screws and is perfect for
bike maintenance, furniture assembly
and more.

Best For: Installing small fixtures,

working on automotive or bicycle
applications.
Spanner Driver
Spanner Hand Drivers are used to install
and remove spanner head tamperproof
machine screws. Spanner screwdrivers have
forked tips with two prongs. They’re
commonly used for hardware in tamper-
proof situations such as fire alarms,
commercial door hardware, and electronic
devices that have a code or for devices that
the manufacturer deems should stay shut.
These screws have two small recesses in
their heads, preventing any traditional
screwdriver from successfully opening
them.

Best For: Alarm devices, electronic devices.
