HAND TOOL APPLICATIONS AND COMMON USES
With an inventory of more than 2,500 hand tools, we offer the ideal products for a wide range of applications. Here's a closer look at some of the most common hand tools and their uses:
- Cutting wood, metal or other materials: Dozens of industries, including construction, carpentry, cabinetmaking, metalworking and forestry, use hand tools to cut or chop materials. Axes are used to chop wood, cut down small trees and clear land. Firefighters also rely on axes to cut through doors when entering a burning building. Our selection of saws includes crosscut, drywall, grout saws and more. In addition, we offer industrial and stainless steel shears to cut a wide variety of materials.
- Determining a straight and true measurement: Construction and surveying professionals use levels, like I-beam and box-beam, to verify when long vertical and horizontal surfaces are level. Another option is a bullseye level that facilitates the leveling of planes in two dimensions.
- Creating round holes in electrical panels: Electricians use knockout tools to punch conduit-sized holes in mild carbon steel and, in some cases, stainless steel. We offer knockout punches and dies in various hole diameters, as well as complete knockout sets.
- Loosening and tightening nuts and bolts: It's hard to find a toolbox in any industry that doesn't contain several screwdrivers and wrenches. We carry a number of screwdriver types, including torque screwdrivers for mechanical production, maintenance and manufacturing, and Rolgear screwdrivers for ratcheting applications. Our selection of about 350 hand wrenches, including adjustable wrenches, combination wrenches and ratchet wrenches, can provide fast, efficient tightening and loosening of fasteners.
- Driving and removing nails: Hammers rank among the most common hand tools. Examples from our inventory include dual-purpose claw hammers that can drive nails into and remove them from wood, framing hammers used for framing wooden houses and tinner hammers used on straight ducts and fittings in sheet metal fabrication shops.
- Removing burrs: In metalworking and machining, professionals need deburring products that can remove raised edges that occur during processes such as drilling, grinding, milling and turning. These tools are also suitable for a wide range of general-purpose applications for ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
