In this the post, we are going to mention which are the basic tools that should not be missing at home and that is easy to use:

 HAMMER

If there was a ranking of the most popular tools, the hammer would certainly take first place.
There are many types of hammers on the market, but the most widely used for home use is undoubtedly the wood-handled carpenter's hammer .
Said hammer is T-shaped, with one end carved with two nails facing down. The straight part is used to hit or hammer and the curved part is used to extract nails. Other types of hammers are rubber, ball and nylon, upholsterer, etc.

How many types of hand tools are there

 What are the tools? 

Tools are objects or instruments that are created with the purpose of facilitating the tasks that we carry out on a daily basis, be it tightening a screw, a nut, cutting cables, cutting wood, or metal, among many other things. 

Types of hand tools 

Because these instruments facilitate daily tasks, there is a great variety and different types, Each tool can be classified either by manual, semi-automatic or automatic use, by its operation and construction, electrical, mechanical or electromechanical, or by its use, measuring, cutting, clamping, hitting, etc.

Typically creating a hand tools list covers a wide range of functional and work accessories. Personally, I think that the work tools are infinite due to their functions and importance of each one. In short, creating a list of basic, manual and/or advanced hand tools can literally take a lifetime. Since as I said it is infinite.

Below you will see a list and types of hand tools with their names , function, category and importance. And also a brief description of each working tool. But this is not a definitive list. If you want to create your own list of tools or hand accessories, you must create it yourself. Depending on which artifact is most useful to you. Choose which ones are most relevant and what you will need them for. This guide does not have a relevant order. 

Manual tools

These tools are those where the operator has to carry out the work manually, such as a saw is used to cut a piece of wood and the person has to apply his own force and repetitive movements to one side and to the other to split the wood and finish the job.

Semi-automatic tools

Within this category we can find tools in which a repetitive movement is performed by a mechanism with the help of electricity for example: to cut a piece of wood there is an instrument that prevents the operator from making the repetitive movement of moving to one side and towards the other, the only thing that has to be done is to guide this tool and the extra thing is done alone.

Automatic tools

All the elements in this category could be considered as machine tools since they are more complex instruments where we can find an infinity of mechanisms and they all move with the help of electricity. These tools do the job automatically without the need for any operator, for example: To cut a piece of wood we could use a CNC in which once it is programmed we can cut the infinity of pieces automatically without the intervention of no operator. (We will deal with these machine tools in another article due to their great variety).
