Hand Tool FAQ

What are the basic hand tools used in a workshop?

No matter whether you’re a professional tradie or someone who loves their DIY, there are a few essential hand tools that make sense in every workshop:
  • Hammers: These not only drive in nails, but they’re also great for removing dents, lining things up, and taking out nails. A must have.
  • Punches: A handy punch is your best friend when it comes to accuracy. Mark out your spot first to avoid your drill skidding.
  • Pliers: If you need a tight grip for loosening or tightening your fasteners, a pair of pliers makes easy work of it.
  • Clamps: You can’t go wrong with a set of clamps in various sizes. They can hold two surfaces together while glue sets, anchor things while you cut, and more.
  • Knives and blades: Whether you need to mark out cut lines, cut straps, packaging, trim plastic or cut cords, a knife with spare blades is a life saver on the workshop.
