Hand & Power Tools
Manually powered, or hand-powered tools include everything from pliers, screwdrivers, wire strippers, hex key sets to wrenches. Maintenance and repair works can require hand and power tools. The misuse and improper maintenance of hand tools can create hazards. For example, if a chisel is used as a screwdriver, the tip of the chisel may break and fly off and hit the user. If a wooden handle is loose, on a tool such as a hammer, the head may fly off and strike the user. Therefore, while using hand tools, appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn to protect against hazards. Hand-held power tools can also produce large amounts of noise and vibration and can, without hearing protection, over an extended period, put a person at risk. Therefore, it is strongly recommended hearing protection is worn while using the kinds of power tools which generate noise louder than 85dB.
The majority of power tools use electric motors. They can also use internal combustion engines and compressed air. The exposed moving parts of power tools, such as shafts, pulleys, sprockets, gears must be guarded. Hand and power tools are used in industry, construction, garden, housework tasks like cooking, cleaning, for purposes of driving (fasteners), drilling, cutting, shaping, sanding, grinding, routing, polishing, painting, heating and more.
Power tools can be classified as either stationary or portable, where portable means hand-held. Portable power tools have the advantage in mobility. Stationary power tools, however, have advantages in speed and accuracy. Stationary power tools, which are used for metal work, are usually called machine tools.
