Hand Tools for Every Job: Categories & Uses

At Wilson’s Industrial Sales, we understand the importance of having the right tools for the job. Our wide selection of hand tools ensures you have what you need to tackle any task in Bundaberg and beyond. Here’s a breakdown of common hand tool categories and their uses:

Cutting Tools

Cutting tools are essential for precision work, whether you’re trimming materials or shaping components. Examples include saws, knives, and snips. These tools are designed to handle various materials, from wood to metal, providing clean and accurate cuts.

Measuring Tools

Accuracy is crucial in any project. Measuring tools like tape measures, calipers, and levels help ensure every cut, angle, and alignment meets your requirements. They are indispensable for construction, woodworking, and mechanical tasks.

Driving Tools

Driving tools, such as screwdrivers and wrenches, are designed to tighten or loosen fasteners with ease. These tools come in different sizes and shapes to match specific applications, ensuring a secure fit for every job.

Gripping Tools

Gripping tools like pliers and clamps provide the necessary hold to manipulate, secure, or adjust materials. These tools are ideal for handling delicate components or applying significant force without damaging the workpiece.

Prying & Leverage Tools

Prying and leverage tools, including crowbars and pry bars, help you lift, separate, or pry open materials. They are excellent for demolition work, assembling heavy items, or creating leverage in tight spaces.

Tool Materials & Quality

Selecting the right materials and ensuring high-quality craftsmanship are essential for maximising the efficiency and longevity of hand tools. Tools made from durable materials and designed with user comfort in mind can make all the difference in your projects.

Steel vs Alloy Tools

Steel tools offer excellent strength and longevity, making them ideal for heavy-duty tasks. Alloy tools, on the other hand, combine strength with lighter weight, offering flexibility for various applications.

Ergonomic Designs

Ergonomically designed tools not only improve comfort but also enhance productivity. These tools reduce strain on your hands and wrists, allowing for extended use without fatigue. Look for tools with cushioned grips and well-balanced construction.

Hand Tool Maintenance Tips

Proper care and maintenance can significantly extend the life of your hand tools. By following these steps, you can ensure your tools remain reliable and efficient for years to come:

  • Clean After Each Use: Wipe down tools with a cloth or mild cleaning solution to remove dirt, grease, and debris. This helps prevent rust and corrosion.
  • Store Properly: Keep tools in a dry, organised space like a toolbox or wall-mounted rack to protect them from moisture and accidental damage.
  • Inspect Regularly: Check tools for signs of wear, cracks, or other damage. Replace compromised tools to maintain safety and performance.
  • Sharpen & Lubricate: Sharpen blades and edges of cutting tools regularly for precise work. Apply lubricant to moving parts like pliers and wrenches for smooth operation.
  • Use the Right Tool for the Job: Avoid using tools for unintended purposes to prevent unnecessary stress or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

We always recommend training for yourself or your employees in the safe use of hand tools. This training might involve knowing how to choose the best tool for the job, how to use your tools safely, and how to determine when a tool needs to be repaired.

It’s important you always use the right tool for the job. You might be tempted to use a screw driver in place of a chisel, or a wrench instead of a hammer, but this is a recipe for disaster. Not only will you run the risk of damaging your tools, you’ll also greatly increase the chance of having an accident. Cutting tools should be kept sharp and covered to maintain their quality and to keep you safe. Keep all your tools clean, dry, and safely stored between each use to help them last as long as possible.

We always recommend checking your tools before each use to make sure they’re safe. Any defects, such as cracked or broken handles or worn blades and jaws, need to be addressed as soon as you notice them. If your tool is damaged or defective, it’s crucial you arrange a repair or have it replaced if repairs will be too costly or time-consuming.

There are some simple techniques you can follow to minimise the risk of injury and maintain comfort while at work:

  • Use tools that allow your wrist to stay straight; never bend your wrist while using hand tools
  • Never push on your wrench or pliers, unless you are holding the tool with an open palm
  • Don’t use excessive force. If the tool isn’t doing the job, there may be a problem
  • When using cutting tools, always point the blade away from yourself
  • When using a cutting tool or a screwdriver, never hold the stock; always place it on your workbench or keep it in a vice
  • If you place a point sharp tool, such as a saw or knife, on a bench, make sure it is kept away from walkways and its handle does not extend over the benchtop edge
  • Never throw tools. It might sound obvious, but injuries do occur from workers throwing implements to one another. Hand them, handle first, to others working on site
  • Never place sharp tools in your pocket
  • Maintain a clean and tidy work environment to minimise the risk of accidents

Your safety gear will depend on the work you’re doing and the hazards you might be exposed to. Attire might include safety glasses or goggles, a face shield, well-fitting gloves, a heavy apron or tool belt.

If you need to climb or do any hazardous work, it’s important you keep your hands free to stay as safe as possible. When working on a ladder or scaffold, raise and lower your hand tools using a bucket and hand line.

When doing electrical work, it’s crucial you use hand tools that are designed for this use. Such tools will be properly insulated, so that you will be protected in the event of a power surge or any other electrical fault.
