for striking or pounding.
A striking tool is a very basic hand tool consisting of a weighted

Impact Sockets and Bits
Sockets, when paired with a ratcheting tool, are designed to tighten
or loosen nuts and bolts. Impact sockets were introduced as an
improvement over standard sockets for use in high-impact
situations requiring a lot of torque. A bit is a removable boring head
used on certain kinds of drills, as a rock drill.
Pliers

cutting metal rods or wire, for handling small objects such as the
parts of a watch, etc.
Punches, Chisels, and Hand Drills
Punches are tools usually in the form of a short rod of steel that is
variously shaped at one end for different operations (as forming,
perforating, embossing, or cutting). Chisels are a metal tool with a
sharpened edge at one end used to chip, carve, or cut into a solid
material (as wood, stone, or metal). Hand drills are tools with a
sharp point and cutting edges for making holes in hard materials
(usually rotating rapidly or by repeated blows)
Screwdrivers and Nutdrivers
A screwdriver is a device specifically designed to insert and
tighten, or to loosen and remove, screws. Nut drivers are like
screwdrivers, except they drive nuts.
Sockets and Bits
Sockets are an opening on a piece of electrical equipment into
which a plug, lightbulb, etc., fits. A bit can be the biting or cutting
edge or part of a tool. It's a replaceable part of a compound tool
that actually performs the function (as drilling or boring) for which
the whole tool is designed.
Vises
Vises are tools that are usually attached to a table and that have
two flat parts that can be opened and closed by a screw or lever in
order to hold something (such as a piece of wood) very firmly.
Wrenches
Wrenches are any of various hand or power tools, often having
fixed or adjustable jaws, used for gripping, turning, or twisting
objects such as nuts, bolts, or pipes.
Center Punches
A center punch is used to mark the centre of a point. It is usually
used to mark the centre of a hole when drilling holes. A drill has
the tendency to "wander" if it does not start in a recess. A centre
punch forms a large enough dimple to "guide" the tip of the drill.
The tip of a centre punch has an angle between 60 and 90
degrees.
Abrasive Tools

pumice, or emery, used for cleaning, grinding, smoothing, or
