Tools
Tools help DIYers and contractors build, fix, repair and construct a variety of projects. From building a new home to furniture, these tools make the work faster and more accurate.
Each tool typically serves a specific purpose, allowing an individual to swiftly accomplish a task with ease. For example, a nail gun replaces the hammer, allowing someone to quickly nail wood or other material together.
These tools are often used by professionals in crafts such as carpentry, joinery, bricklaying, steeplejacking, stonemasonry, electrical, plumbing, wall, and floor work. They are often owned by the do-it-yourselfer and home owner, used for the weekend project or repair job.
