10 Hand Tools That Have Real Power

Talking about the hand tools the hand ax, hand help choppers and sharp edge stone flakes are the first
oldest Stone Age tool. 2.3 million years back these tools created from stone and termed as the oldest
prehistoric tool used by human of prehistoric societies. The wheel invention revolutionizes the hand tool
creation.

Thus the term tool box comes into existence and now in the modern technology give raises the top 11
Hand Tools that Have Real Power. Getting todays hand tools human now change the lifestyle, making
work easy in the industry as well as in the homes. Lets explore the credibility and importance of the top
10 Hand Tools that Have Real Power.

1. Spanners
It is easy to grip the nuts and bolts with the help of spanner sets of vivid sizes. It is not possible to
produce the necessary torque to grip and hold the object firmly. The spanners used to produce the
required torque to fasten the nuts and bolts. The spanner set consists of vivid sizes of spanner which are
as follows

Double ended
It is used in the construction industry, building trades on heavy objects that needs alignment while
fastening.
 Single ended
It has a long smooth end, use for better gripping of object and easy reach behind blind surfaces.
 Slugging open and closed end
It is used for DIY jobs as well as in for the Motoring. Availability in various shapes and sizes thus reduces
the work force by providing necessary and easy torque to fasten any nut and bold.
2. Wrenches
Do you know in 1835, the first wrench patented by the Solymon Merrick? In 1858 monkey wrench was
invented by the Charles Moncky.

Now the advance technology helps to get the socket wrench, 4-way lung, plumber wrench, crowfoot
wrench, Allen and torque wrench for vivid purposes. The torque wrench used to apply the enough
amount of torque to the fastener.

3. Hammers
Now hammer makes easy to pound nails into the wall, and wooden blocks. There is various kind of
hammers used to make work easy Ball-peen, boiler scaling, Brass, Cow, Drilling, dead blow, Gavel,
Lump, sledge, soft-faced, and many others.

4. Pliers
A proper mechanical advantage in the form of torque is necessary to hold objects like nuts, wires, pipes,
electronic components and bolts, and in that pliers are helpful. The pliers used during smithing or
casting. There are many kinds of pliers slip joint, Diagonal, Linemans, Needle-nose, pincers, tongue-
and-groove, Locking, Circlip, round-nose pliers purchased according to need.

5. Vices and clamps

8. Strippers and cutters

The stripper used to strip the plastic insulation over the electric wires. The strippers available in the
form of manual and automatic.

9. Hacksaws and accessories

principally created to cut any metal sheet. In 1898 George N. Clemson gets US patent for the Hacksaw.
It is used to cut metal, wood and plastic in easy way.

10. Crimping tools

It used to crimp the TNC connectors. These specialized tools are basically used in the telecom
engineering fields.
11. Rivet tools
The Rivet tools used to fasten the rivets.
The rivet tools are used to fasten the rivets in gutter construction, fiberglass roofing, doors, windows,
window blinds, wind guards, and hanger straps. The rivet tools are commonly used during aircraft
construction, railway construction to fasten the rivets to join two metal plates.

Conclusion
No doubt the hand tools do have the power making hand work strong, thus saving time. These powerful
hand tools help to make any kind of work relevant to them easy, thus why growth and development in
the industry sector not possible, but these powerful hand tools double the growth and revolutionize
the industry.
