1. Screwdriver: A screwdriver is a handheld tool with a narrow shaft and a flat, narrow head called a blade. It is used to turn screws and tighten or loosen them by applying torque to the screw. The blade is inserted into the slot on the screw head, and the user rotates the screwdriver either clockwise (to tighten) or counterclockwise (to loosen).
2. Wrench: A wrench is a tool used to provide a mechanical advantage in applying torque to turn objects such as nuts, bolts, or pipe fittings. It typically has a handle with a fixed or adjustable jaw at one end. The wrench is placed around the object to be turned, and the user applies force to the handle, which generates torque and rotates the object.
3. Pliers: Pliers are versatile hand tools with jaws used for gripping, bending, or cutting various objects. They typically have two handles, a fulcrum joint, and jaws at the end. Pliers can be used to hold objects firmly, pull or twist wires, bend metal pieces, or cut through materials like nails or wires with the cutting edge located near the fulcrum joint.
4. Hammer: A hammer is a striking tool consisting of a weighted head attached to a long handle. It is primarily used for driving nails, fitting parts, or breaking objects apart. The head of the hammer is made of metal and usually has a flat or slightly convex face for striking, while the handle provides leverage and control for the user.
