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).

Screwdrivers: belong to the mounting category. Its function is generally to tighten and/or loosen adjustment tools. Important within the catalog and types of basic hand tools.
Combination Spanners: Spanners are adjustment artifacts. Also, hand tools that screw elements with screws or nuts with hexagonal type heads. They are not of the utmost urgency since the wrench replaces it very well. But they are for a mechanical workshop.
Allen keys: It is a hexagonal wrench generally a tool that is used by hand to drive bolts and screws with hexagonal internal connectors on their heads. It is also an extremely important and precision wrench. You never know when it will take.
Cable stripper: Cutting tool. It is primarily an instrument for stripping cables, performing electrical installations or repairs. It is a hand accessory for work but it is not bad to have one at home.
Tweezers: They are of unlimited functions. Plier-type cutting tools are also clamping and precision. There is a wide variety of multi-purpose calipers. Similarly we will need to have a hand gripper at home.
Chisels: Called otherwise cold or also iron short. They are cutting and hitting tools. It is a woodworking tools that must be in our catalog.
Files and chisels: They belong to the roughing category. Also, its function is to wear down the wood. They are used both in the carpentry section. Where wood is worked manually.
Hand saw: It is a saw with a metal blade. Also considered a cutting tool. Cuts almost anything, wood, iron, metals, plastics, etc. A home saw is essential as it cuts almost anything.
Saw: Mainly used in carpentry. A cutting instrument. We will only need it if we plan to cut wood.
Shovels: A shovel is always necessary. It is used to excavate or move materials. The shovel falls into several categories such as masonry, gardening, etc. There are three types of blades: heart pointed and flat. They are generally hand digging tools also known as garden tools.
