A hand tool is any tool that is powered by hand rather than a motor. A list of common
hand tools and their uses are provided with picture illustration for your better comprehension.
Hand tools are classified into four:
1. Measuring tools
2. Cutting tools
3. Driving tools
4. Holding tools

 INFORMATION SHEET

Select and Classify Hand Tools and Equipment

Measuring Tools

 Pull-Push Rule- is a measuring tape that coils into a compact case. It is used for
measuring long, short, straight lengths.

 Steel Tape- is a flexible ruler used to measure size or

distance. Similar to a steel tape rule except for its flexible
number of feet that are marked on the tape. The tape is
3/8-inch-wide and available in lengths from 25 to 100 feet.

 Steel rule- is the simplest and most common

measuring tool. The flat steel rule is usually 6 or
12 inches long.

 Try square -the primary tool's use of measuring the

accuracy of a right angle (90-degree angle).

 Combination Square- is a tool that serves

several purposes in woodworking,
stonemasonry, and metalworking. It is
composed of a ruler and one or more
interchangeable heads that may be affixed to it.

 Micrometer caliper- instrument for making precise linear measurements of dimensions

such as diameters, thicknesses, and lengths of
solid bodies; it consists of a C-shaped frame with a
movable jaw operated by an integral screw.
  Vernier caliper- measuring tools used mainly for
measuring linear dimensions. An accurate
measurement reading between two graduation
markings on a linear scale.

 Dividers- instrument used for measuring, transferring, or

marking off distances, consisting of two straight
adjustable legs hinged together and ending in sharp
points.

2. Cutting Tools
 Hacksaw - is a hand-powered, small-toothed saw used for cutting metal pipes, rods,
brackets, etc. Hacksaws can also cut through plastic. The hacksaw has a U-shaped frame
and a handle at one end. Hacksaws have small pins at each end of the frame that receive
a blade. A tensioner nut or knob is then used to extend the length of the frame, which
puts tension on the blade and locks it in place. The blade can be installed to cut on either
the push or pull stroke; cutting on the push stroke is more common.
o Frame- It is the main body of the hacksaw which holds the blade. The different
types of frames are the following:
a. Fixed or solid frames are intended to hold only one size of blade at about 10
inches long.

b. b. Adjustable frame is frame that can be adjusted to hold blades of different

sizes such as 10, 12 and 14 inches in length.

o Blade- It is made of thin, high grade steel usually 1.27 mm thick and 30.48cm
long with an inclined row of teeth serving as cutter.

2 types of blades
 a. All hard in this type, the entire blade is hardened and tempered, making it
very brittle. Use this type in cutting steel and cast iron.

b. Flexible back. In this type, only the teeth portion is hardened and
tempered, making the blade springy and less likely to break.

The following are the recommended teeth-per-inch of blades for different kinds of
stocks to be cut:
a. 14 teeth-per-inch. It is used for brass, aluminum, cast iron and soft iron.

b. 18 teeth-per-inch. It is used for drill rod, mild steel, tool steel and general work
c. 24 teeth-per-inch. It is recommended for thin tubing and pipe.
 Files- are made of high-grade steel which are hardened and tempered. Each file has rows
of teeth that form, shape and finish metal by removing small chips and smoothing rough
edges of the metal surface. They differ in length, shape, cut and coarseness.
Kinds of files:

1. Mill file a single-cut file used for filing and finishing brass and bronze.

2. Flat file is usually rectangular in shape and

tapered slightly in width and thickness. It is
one of the most commonly used files for general
work.

3. Square file is intended for filing square or rectangular holes.

4. Round file is used primarily for enlarging holes.

5. Half-round file is used for filing curved or concave surfaces.

 6. Triangular file is used for filing surfaces that meet at least 90º. It is exclusively
used for sharpening wood saws and for smoothening rectangular opening. It is
also known as three

 Cold Chisel. A wedge-shaped tool used to shear, cut, and chip metal
Types of cold chisel

1. Flat chisel is used for chipping flat surfaces; cutting off rivets or metal
fasteners, thin sheets, and small bars; and for general purposes. Its cutting-
edge ranges from 13 to 25mm.

2. Cape chisel has a narrow edge suited for cutting narrow grooves or slots.

3. Diamond-point chisel has a diamond-shaped cutting edge intended to cut

V-grooves.

4. Round-nose chisel has a round nose cutting edge for cutting round and semi-
circular grooves.
Scraper- is used in removing points, burrs and sharp edges from metal surface and similar
parts. This tool is made of hardened steel of various shapes that fit according to each purpose.
There are bearing scrapes, flat, sharper, three-connected scraper.
Punches- is a hard metal rod with a narrow tip at one end and
a broad flat "butt" at the other. When used, the narrower end is
pointed against a target surface and the broad end is then
struck with a hammer or mallet, causing the blunt force of the
blow to be transmitted down the rod body and focused more
sharply onto a small area. Punches are usually classified
according to the shape of their points.

 Prick Punch -a small center punch which is also known as a layout puncher. Its
point is placed an angle of 30 degrees.

 Center Punch has one end guard to 90 degrees

3. Driving Tools
Hammers

 Ball peen hammer is used for straightening bending

and deforming metals. It has two faces. One is flat
in striking cold chisels and punches. The other side
the “peen” is rounded for bending and shaping
metals. Ball peen hammer generally has a wood or
fiberglass handle measuring 10-16 inches long.
Head weight ranges from 2-48 oz. A 20oz hammer is
good for general purpose.

 Chipping hammer is used for removing slag on

weld and with two faces, the tapered from one
side and round pointed on the other side.

Wrench- is used for loosening and tightening light and heavy nuts and bolts. There are different
kinds and sizes of wrenches designed according to uses and functions.
 An adjustable wrench has a movable jaw which makes it adjustable to various
sizes of nuts. A heavy type of adjustable wrench is the monkey/pipe wrench.

Adjustable Wrench

Pipe Wrench

 Oxy acetylene wrench- A type of wrench used for tightening hose and fitting
connection on oxy-acetylene unit.

 An open-ended wrench- is one that is made to fit one size of nut or bolt. This is
the most inexpensive type of wrench that is quite efficient in ordinary
situations.

Single-ended

Double-ended

 A closed-end wrench- is similar to a single ended wrench, but as it entirely

encloses a nut, there is a little danger of the wrench slipping off the nut or the
jaws spreading apart.

Single-ended
 Double-ended

 Socket wrench- is a tool with a usually

interchangeable socket to fit over a nut
or bolt.

Screwdriver- is hand tool that is designed to turn

screws. The blade is made of steel, attached to
one end of a wooden or plastic handle. The other
end is flattened to fit slots in the heads of screws
on bolts. The other kinds of screw drivers are
called a Phillips screw driver and helical-ratchet
screw driver.

4. Holding Tools

Clamps- are made of different sizes and appearance that are fitted to its purpose. These devices
have been designed to hold work securely which performing skills through grinding, bending,
fitting and cutting of metals.

 Tool Maker Clamp- is used for holding small parts both at the bench and at the
machine. This tool is also known as a parallel clamp.

 C-Clamp- is an all-purpose clamp that is generally used for all kinds of work.
Drill Vise- is a sturdy steel vise with movable jaw that easily goes back or forth by raising the
handle.

Machinist Vise- is a work holding tool for machining activity.

Hand Vise V Block with Clamp- is used to hold metal stocks for
small machining operation.

Vise Grip- is a tool used to grip the stock tight enough to hold the object.

Tong- is used to hold the metal to be forged and must be held securely while working.

Pliers- are used for holding, cutting and twisting wires.

Combination Pliers Long Nose Pliers

 Side Cutting Pliers Slip Joint Pliers/Mechanical Pliers
