Angle Grinder | Angle Grinders are versatile tools that can grind metal and cut tile, stucco and pavers, rout out mortar, plus they can sand, polish and sharpen. Useful for woodworkers and DIYers, Angle Grinders are used well for cleaning up pitted or rusted metal surfaces and can smooth out welded seams. |
Anvil | A heavy iron or steel shaped block with a horn shaped spur on which metals are hammered into shape during forging. |
Awls | Awls are used for making small holes in narrow timber. They are divided in to 2 types. Birdcage awls are square blade ground to a point and Bradawl have a round blade ground to a flat edge. This is used across the grain of the wood primarily for starting holes for screws to prevent splitting. |
Bevel | The carpenter's sliding bevel is used for determining existing angles and for transferring angles onto a workpiece. It is important that the fixing device securely tightens the blade to prevent movements once an angle has been set, without obstructing the work. |
Bolt Cutters | A bolt cutter, sometimes called bolt cropper, is a tool used for cutting chains, padlocks, bolts and wire mesh. It typically has long handles and short blades,with compound hinges to maximize leverage and cutting force. There are numerous types of Bolt Cutters; Angle Cut, Center Cut, Shear Cut, End Cut & Clipper Cut. |

Claw Hammer | Finish carpentry and light-duty nailing jobs. Features two sharp, beveled edges for gripping and drawing out stubborn nails. |
Corded Drill | Maybe the most popular power tool ever, the corded drill is a true jack-of-all-trades. Bore holes in a range of materials, drive screws and nuts, brush away paint and rust, sand edges and stir paint – these are just a few of the tasks this tool can accomplish. |
Cordless Drill | All the benefits of a corded drill, but without a tether. Allows you to work on top of a ladder, on damp ground and without the tangles of a cord. The tradeoff is that a cordless may not be able to handle more rugged work or have quite the power of a corded. |
Drill Bits | Drill bits are cutting tools used to remove material to create holes, almost always of circular cross-section. Drill bits come in many sizes and shapes and can create different kinds of holes in many different materials. |
Electronic Level | This tool makes use of blinking lights and a beeping signal to indicate level, plumb, pre-selected and unknown angles. |

Masking Tape | This is sold in rolls in various widths. Useful for keeping straight lines when separating colours, e.g walls etc. |
Marking Gauge | These are used for making marks on timber or sheet metal. Other types can be used for marking out areas on floors where items can be stacked. |
