An Expert’s Guide: How Are Hand Tools Generally Classified into 7 Core Types?
読む もっと読むAbstract The systematic organization of hand tools is fundamental to their effective selection, use, and maintenance in both professional and amateur contexts. This document examines the principles behind how hand tools are generally classified, moving beyond simple alphabetical or visual groupings to a more robust, function-based taxonomy. The analysis reveals that the most coherent classification systems are rooted in the primary mechanical action a tool is designed to perform on a workpiece. Seven primary functional categories are identified: striking and hammering; cutting and shaping; fastening and turning; gripping and prying; finishing and abrasive; measuring and layout; and specialty or multi-function tools. Each category is explored through an examination of its […]
