A hand tool is any tool that is powered by hand rather than a motor. Hand tools are simple tools that are used with your hands and are usually not powered. Examples of hand tools include wrenches, pliers, cutters, files, striking tools, struck or hammered tools, screwdrivers, vises, clamps, snips, saws, drills, and knives. Outdoor tools such as garden forks, pruning shears, and rakes are additional forms of hand tools. Hand tools have been used by humans since the Stone Age when stone tools were used for hammering and cutting. Hand tools are essential for day-to-day jobs and are of different types that can be used for any kind of work. They are cost-effective, reliable, and easy to use, making them an attractive option for people of all skill levels. Hand tools are manually powered tools that do not require any power source and are usually smaller and lighter than power tools, which makes them easier to maneuver and use for extended periods.
