About Hand Tools
Hand tools are manually-operated tools that fit in the hand. They are used in many industries and applications to assemble, install, repair, and maintain machines, products, components, and equipment. Hand tools range from pliers to calipers and include screwdrivers, wrenches, and hammers. Pliers have two jaws and are designed to grip objects by using leverage. Calipers measure the distance between two symmetrically-opposing sides. Screwdrivers are devices that fit into the head of a screw to drive the screw into the object to be fastened. Wrenches are used to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts. Hammers are hand tools that deliver repeated blows to an object. For example, a hammer is used to drive a nail into wood.
