    Classification of Hand tools

    Measuring Tools- A Measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity.


    Ruler- A straight edged strip, as of wood or metal, for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths. Also called rule. Caliper- A large instrument having a fixed and a movable arm on a graduated stock, used for measuring the diameters of logs and similar objects. Meter Stick- A measuring stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths. Tape Measure- A tape of cloth, paper, or steel marked off in a linear scale, as of inches or centimeters, for taking measurements. Also called tapeline.

    Chalk Line- a string impregnated with powdered chalk, used in construction to mark a straight line on a surface, such as a wall. The string is held taut on the surface between the two end points of the line to be made, the center of the line is drawn away from the surface, and the string is released and snapped against the surface, leaving a line of chalk in the desired location. Marking Gauge- an instrument used to strike a line parallel to the straight side of a board, etc. Scratch awl- a pointed tool for marking surfaces or for punching small holes.

    Testing Tools- These are the Tools used to Test the flatness and squareness of a wood
    Try square- A carpenter's tool consisting of a ruled metal straightedge set at right angles to a straight piece, used for measuring and marking square work. Miter square- An instrument with straight edges that are set at a 45 angle or that are adjustable, used for marking the angles of a miter joint. Steel square- It consists of a long arm and a shorter one, which meet at an angle of 90 degrees (a right angle) Sliding T bevel- A sliding T bevel is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. The handle is usually made of wood or plastic and is connected to a metal blade with a thumbscrew or wing nut. The blade pivots and can be locked at any angle by loosening or tightening the thumbscrew. Plumb-bob- A plumb-bob or a plummet is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom that is suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It is essentially the y-axis equivalent of a "water level". Spirit level- A spirit level or bubble level is an instrument designed to indicate whether a surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb).

    Boring Tools- These are the tools used to bore holes in the wood.
    Auger bit- a bit with a cutting edge or blade like that of an anger. Drill bit- a removable drilling or boring tool for use in a brace, drill press, or the like. Spade bit- a thin bit with a center point and cutting edges on either side.

    Measuring Lining tools- These tool is used for measuring and ling the wood.
    Marking Gauge- an instrument used to strike a line parallel to the straight side of a board, etc. Mortise Gauge- A tool (similar to a marking gauge) having two scribes for marking parallel lines; can be adjusted to the required distances from a working edge in preparing mortises or tenons.
