Hand and Power Tools

Benders manipulate metal and plastic piping for plumbing and electrical applications. Hand conduit benders, or manual benders, use leverage and body strength to bend metal pipe and conduit. Mechanical conduit benders have a ratcheting or hand-crank mechanisms that require less force from users. Hydraulic and electric conduit and pipe benders can perform multiple bends with less time and effort than manual benders. PVC heaters make PVC pliable, which allows users to form bends in the piping.

Clamps hold workpieces in place by applying consistent pressure via spring, ratchet, lever, or hand screw mechanisms. Angle clamps facilitate right-angle joining and fastening applications such as welding, gluing, and driving screws. Combination bar clamps and spreaders have removable end fasteners that can be reversed for spreading items. C-clamps have fixed-width, C-shaped frames and adjustable hand screws that are tightened or loosened to secure workpieces. Cantilever clamps resist distorting or twisting while being tightened. Locking clamps have quick-release triggers and adjustment screws that offer one-handed operation while securing and releasing workpieces. Spring clamps offer one-handed operation similar to a clothespin. Toggle clamps and hold-down clamps mount to work surfaces and hold workpieces in place. Strut and spring compressors compress and hold automotive strut springs when disassembling struts and replacing shock absorbers.

Crimping tools and dies bend metal fittings and components into shape for electrical, hydraulic, automotive, and HVAC applications. Cable crimpers create end terminals by joining copper and aluminum connectors to electrical wire and voice and data cable. Hydraulic hose crimpers install hose barbs and ferrules onto hydraulic hoses. Metal crimpers are used to flatten sheet metal and to make folds and seams.

Demolition tools and equipment break down building materials in demolition and renovation applications. Demolition hammers have a chisel to chip away at masonry and cured concrete. Rotary hammers also use a chisel to chip away concrete and masonry, though they are less powerful and have a shorter reach than demolition hammers. Rotary hammer also drill holes and drive fasteners in wood, metal, concrete, and masonry. Rotary and demolition hammer accessories include chisels and bits for tile, brick, and other masonry materials.

Drills and drivers provide speed, power, and accuracy when drilling holes and driving fasteners. Coring rigs drill through metal, concrete, block and stone to run electrical conduit and plumbing pipes through walls and floors. Hammer drills deliver a forward hammering action as they drill to power through tough materials, such as stone and masonry. Impact drivers deliver high amounts of torque and power to drive fasteners in tough materials or to loosen stuck screws and bolts. Right angle drills feature a compact design for drilling in tight spaces, such as between wall studs when installing electrical or plumbing lines.

Electrical tools are used by electricians and contractors to pull, service, and install electrical and data cable. Cable-pulling tools such as fish tapes, fish sticks, and jaw grips are used for running wires through walls and electrical conduit. Cable and wire-stripping tools are a safe alternative to box cutters and provide precise cutbacks to prevent damage to cable strands when stripping cable sheath. Cable-tying tools attach cable to a support structure to keep in place, speeding installation and preventing overtightening that can damage cables.

Grinding, sanding, and finishing tools smooth and prepare surfaces for finishing. Band files clean and polish pipe, metal, and fiberglass. Bevellers and weld shavers remove rough edges and create a finished surface on metal, plastic, and other materials. Edgebanders apply banding to plywood and particle board and trip banding flush with the surface, creating a finished look. Scarifiers clean metal surfaces and polishers and buffers create a smooth finished surface. Rotary tools help you cut, carve, and finish work. Oscillating tools give you a sturdy plunge cut blade when the project requires a stabbing action into wool or metal. Engravers let you etch patterns and designs into stone, ceramic, plastic, glass and more.

Heat guns used forced heated air to soften and dry out materials. They are used to cure adhesives, strip paint, shrinkwrap bundles and packages.

Masonry, concrete, and tile equipment is used to prep, pour, and finish concrete and tile surfaces. Masonry tools, such as hoes and trowels, mix and apply mortar for laying brick or tuckpointing. Concrete tools include vibrators for removing air bubbles from poured concrete as well as edgers and trowels for providing a finished surface. Deck and floor scrapers remove adhesives and prepare surfaces for refinishing. Cordless rebar tying tools hold wire ties and automatically wrap wire ties around rebar, reducing operator fatigue over hand tying and speeding application.

Nailers, staplers, and tackers drive metal fasteners quickly and precisely. Cordless nailers and cordless riveters can be used on the jobsite without hoses or compressors to move. Powder guns drive compatible nails into concrete, masonry, and steel using small explosive rounds. Cordless riveters are battery operated tools that secure rivets to connect two workpieces. Staplers and tackers attach thin materials to hard or thick substrates or framework.

Pliers grip fasteners and building materials in multiple applications. Multi-tools have several tools in a compact form. Locking pliers grip parts securely, allowing users to rotate the tool without slipping or regripping the part. Linemans pliers generally cut harder wire, such as piano wire, than other wire-cutting pliers. Slip joint and tongue and groove pliers have a slip joint that keeps jaws parallel to provide a large gripping surface when working on large workpieces. Long-nosed and needle-nose pliers grip and cut wire and have a smaller tip, which allows users to view workpieces when doing small or delicate work.

Pryers and pullers can help separate, lift, and move metal, wood, and stone with less effort. Nail pullers, wrecking bars, and pry bars are used in demolition and on construction sites to remove rails from lumber and break open crates on loading docks. Bearing splitters remove bearings and rear axles in auto repair applications. Push pullers remove and install gears, pulleys, steering wheels, and other parts encountered in automotive work. Fence stretching tools ensure chain link fencing is taut. Slide hammers pull dents out of fenders, side panels, and other autobody parts.

Ratchets and sockets tighten or loosen fasteners that require more torque than standard fasteners tightened by hand, including fasteners used in automotive and metalworking applications. Ratchets hold a socket that slips over a fastener to ensure a secure grip. The ratchet can be used in recessed and tight spaces and turned without needing to regrip the nut or bolt. Sockets come in different sizes and are placed over the nut or bolt to securely grip the sides without slipping. Impact sockets are used with impact wrenches to apply more force than standard ratchets.

Routers cut dados, rabbets, mortises, and chamfers in wood and laminates. Cordless routers allow users to work away from wired power sources and without cords getting in the way. Laminate trimmers remove overhanging material from laminate sheeting after it has been glued down to surfaces. Mortising machines prep mortises without the need for hand chisels. Router tables are floorstanding machines that can be programmed to perform routing operations on large workpieces.

Tool balancers and retractors keep frequently used tools within reach and help support the weight of heavy tools, reducing worker fatigue. They have a retractable cable that suspends tools above the working area, helping to reduce clutter and inadvertent damage to tools that could otherwise be in the way.

Tool storage equipment organizes tools in work facilities and in vehicles. Jobsite boxes are lockable to keep tools protected when not in use. Tool chests and cabinets have drawers and shelves to keep tools protected and organized. Tool boxes and tool bags organize and store tools and have handles or straps to they can be carried on the jobsite. Tool belts and pouches keep tools on-hand as users move around the jobsite performing various tasks.

Wrenches tighten and loosen bolts, nuts, and other fasteners and are used in metalworking, plumbing, and electrical applications. Adjustable wrenches have jaws that can be opened and closed to ensure a tight grip on fastener heads. Chain wrenches and tongs turn smooth cylindrical objects, such as pipe. Strap wrenches fit around large or irregular shapes to grip and turn parts. Electric impact wrenches offer high torque output for heavy-duty fastening applications in automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, and product assembly. Spanner wrenches have a pin that locks into a hole to prevent the wrench from slipping when turned. Striking and slugging wrenches can be hit with a hammer to apply additional force on stuck or frozen parts.
