The tool used to drive a slotted screw head is called a standard, common blade, flat-blade, slot-head, straight, flat, flat-tip, or "flat-head" screwdriver.

A screwdriver that is designed to be used with a type of screw (called a Phillips-head screw) that has a slot in its top that looks like a cross.

A tool used to facilitate access to screws located in areas that cannot be reached easily by a regular screwdriver. Sometimes, screws exist in places that are not wide open and may have something blocking access to them from the opposite side.

A simple tool used to drive bolts and screws with hexagonal sockets in their heads. The tool is usually formed of a single piece of hexagonal rod of hard steel, with blunt ends that are meant to fit snugly into the screw's socket, bent in an "L" shape with unequal arms

A tool primarily used for driving nails into, or pulling nails from, some other object. Generally, a claw hammer is associated with woodworking but is not limited to use with wood products

A mallet is a block on a handle, which is usually used for driving chisels. The head on a rubber mallet is made of rubber. These types of hammers deliver softer impact than hammers with metal heads.

Besides for peening (surface hardening by impact), the ball-peen hammer is useful for many tasks, such as striking punches and chisels (usually performed with the flat face of the hammer). The peening face is useful for rounding off edges of metal pins and fasteners, such as rivets.

This is used for gripping, holding, and cutting electrical wires and cables and even small nails. They are usually used by linemen in doing heavy tasks.

This type of pliers is used for cutting fine, medium, and big and cable.

This is used for cutting and holding fine wires. This can reach spaces or small openings where other pliers cannot reach and is also used in making terminal loops of copper wires.

This is a tool used for stripping or removing the insulation of connecting wires ranging from gauge #10 to gauge #16.

This is used by linemen to remove insulation of wire and cables in low and high voltage transmission lines.

This tool is used for cutting pipes/conduit and cables. It is also used for cutting big conductors.

A small drilling machine with a chuck Capacity of ¼ to 3/8 inch, it is used in making holes on metal sheets and concrete walls.

This is a wire like boring tool used in making initial holes for split knob screws.

This is used to measure diameter and thickness of cables, wires or conductors.

Used to measure the length of an object in centimeter and inches. This is also used to measure heights for switches and outlets.

Used to measure length, width, and thickness of short flat objects and to draw straight lines.

This is a slotted circular disk used to find the diameter or size of an electrical wire.

Are not typically used for production construction drilling, but rather for occasional drilling of holes into concrete, masonry or stone. They are also used to drill holes in concrete footings to pin concrete wall forms and to drill holes in concrete floors to pin wall framing.

This is a tool for cutting many materials such as wood, masonry, plastic, or metal and may be hand-held or mounted to a machine. In woodworking the term "circular saw" refers specifically to the hand-held type and the table saw and chop saw are other common forms of circular saws.

Best used for cutting shapes and curves in wood with its narrow blade that is attached to the tool's body by a spring-loaded clamp at the front. The blade's sharp teeth are measured in TPI, or teeth per inch. A higher TPI gives a smoother cut that requires less sanding.

(Flex, angle grinding machine) is a handheld electrical power tool that is designed for cutting, cleaning and polishing of hard materials such as metal, stone, concrete and so on.

Commonly used by electricians for heat shrinking cable tubing, it is a versatile tool and its uses extend to fast drying of adhesives, testing thermostats, thawing locks, speed-drying touch up paint and will also melt soft solder.

The ammeter is the basis for many other electrical measuring instruments. Whether you are measuring volts or ohms, essentially inside the instrument you are measuring current.

Measurement of current in a circuit is somewhat problematic because all the electrical energy to be measured must pass through the meter, so there is the inconvenience of cutting open and later re-terminating the circuit. Another problem is that conventional ammeters, as incorporated in the ubiquitous multimeter, cannot dissipate heat that is greater than just a few amps.

The clamp-on ammeter is a work-around. It solves both problems by measuring the magnetic field that surrounds any current-carrying conductor. The instrument is calibrated to read amps. The user closes the jaws around an insulated current-carrying conductor. It doesn’t matter whether the conductor is centered within the jaws, and it may pass through at an angle.

For low-amp measurements, the conductor may be coiled, multiple turns passing through the jaws in the same direction, and then the total reading divided by the number of turns. A hand-held clamp-on ammeter (trade name Amprobe) can be rated as high as 600 A, making it useful for large three-phase motor work. Specialized Hall-effect instruments can read dc amps.

Unlike the ammeter, which is a series instrument, the voltmeter is placed in parallel across a component, conductor, circuit or power source. The full current does not pass through the instrument, only a small fraction of it. The exact amount depends upon the voltage being measured and the impedance of the voltmeter. The input impedance rating of the instrument is all-important and determines how accurately a given circuit can be measured. A low-impedance meter places a heavy load on the circuit under investigation. Used beyond its rating, or with a high-impedance circuit, the large voltage drop can damage the circuit.

A high-impedance voltmeter is (relatively) invisible to the circuit under investigation. Nevertheless, it should not be used at voltages exceeding its rating. CAT ratings, which vary with precisely-defined electrical environments, must be observed. These ratings are generally printed adjacent to the inputs.

The most common type of ohmmeter for general use is incorporated in the digital multimeter. Analog meters, with moving needles rather than digital readouts, are also available, and they are preferred by some old timers. They have the advantage of being more accurate outdoors in cold weather. A reflective surface behind the needle aids in eliminating error by facilitating straight-on alignment. Digital multimeters are far more widely used.

Bench-type multimeters incorporate the four-wire (Kelvin) option, which is essential for precise low-resistance measurements. Four separate probes, with alligator clip attachments, plug into four dedicated ports, and they are connected to the resistance under investigation. The four-wire setup substantially reduces the effect of cumulative resistance due to measuring leads, contact resistances and electrical paths within the meter. One pair of leads carries the test current from the meter and the other pair measures the voltage drop across the resistance under investigation. This arrangement excludes the unwanted cumulative resistance.

A pocket size tool used to test the line wire or circuit if there is current in it.
