Hammer : is a tool or device that delivers a
blow (a sudden impact) to an object. Most
hammers are hand tools used to drive nails,
fit parts, forge metal, and break apart
objects. Hammers vary in shape, size, and
structure, depending on their purposes.
Drill : is a tool fitted with a cutting
tool attachment or driving tool attachment,
usually a drill bit or driver bit, used
for boring holes in various materials
or fastening various materials together. The
attachment is gripped by a chuck at one end
of the drill and rotated while pressed against
the target material.
All concrete grinders use some sort of
abrasive to grind or polish such as diamond
tools or Silicon carbide. The diamond tools
used for grinding most commonly are
diamond grinding cup wheels, and
for polishing are usually
diamond polishing pads. ... The picture on
the right is an example of
a concrete floor grinder.
Hardware Kits : use as container for screws,
nails, and other tiny construction materials
that must be organized
Concrete mixer (often mistakenly called
a cement mixer) is a device that
homogeneously
combines cement, aggregate such as sand or
gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical
concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix
the components. For smaller volume works
portable concrete mixers are often used so
that the concrete can be made at the
construction site, giving the workers ample
time to use the concrete before it hardens
Duct tapes find their prime use in air
conditioning duct work that requires
excellent adhesion in tapes. The duct tape is
a cloth-backed adhesive tape, easy to rip
than to cut. With its three layers that are
polyethylene, fabric mesh and adhesive, this
duct tape exhibits good insulation
properties.

A concrete saw (also
known as a consaw, road saw, cut-off
saw or quick cut) is a power tool used for
cutting concrete, masonry, brick, asphalt, tile
, and other solid materials. It can be a small
hand-held cut-off saw, a big walk-behind
saw or other styles, and it may be powered
by gasoline, hydraulic or pneumatic
pressure, or electric motors. The saw blades
used on concrete saws are often diamond
saw blades to cut concrete, asphalt, stone,
etc. Abrasive cut-off wheels can also be
used on cut-off saws to cut stone and steel.
The significant frictiongenerated in cutting
hard substances like concrete usually
requires the blades to be cooled to prolong
their life and reduce dust.
A tape
measure or measuring tape is a
flexible ruler. It consists of a ribbon of cloth,
plastic, fibre glass, or metal strip with linear-
measurement markings. It is a common
measuring tool. Its design allows for a
measure of great length to be easily carried
in pocket or toolkit and permits one to
measure around curves or corners.
A caulking gun is a
tool that holds a tube or cartridge that's filled
with material used for sealing up gaps and
cracks in the home. Caulk can be made of
silicone or latex, and is used to bond a wide
range of materials like metal, glass, wood
and ceramic.Caulk usually comes in a tube.
A jackhammer (pneumatic
drill or demolition hammer in British
English) is a pneumatic or electro-
mechanical tool that combines
a hammer directly with a chisel. It was
invented by William Mcreavy, who then
sold the patent to Charles Brady
King.[1] Hand-held jackhammers are
generally powered by compressed air, but
some are also powered by electric motors.
Larger jackhammers, such as rig mounted
hammers used on construction machinery,
are usually hydraulically powered. They are
typically used to break up rock, pavement,
and concrete.
Curbs may fulfill any or
several of a number of functions. They
separate the road from the roadside, and
discourage drivers from parking or driving
on sidewalks and lawns. They also provide
structural support to the pavement edge.

called scaffold or staging, is a temporary

drum.

A shovel is a tool for

digging, lifting, and moving bulk materials,
such as soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, or ore.
Most shovels are hand tools consisting of a
broad blade fixed to a medium-length
handle. Shovel blades are usually made of
sheet steel or hard plastics and are very
strong.
A plumb bob, or plummet, is a weight,
usually with a pointed tip on the bottom,
suspended from a string and used as a
vertical reference line, or plumb-line. It is
essentially the vertical equivalent of a "water
level".

A thermometer is a
device that measures temperature or
a temperature gradient.
In woodworking and construction, a nail is a
pin-shaped object of metal (or wood, called
a treenail or "trunnel") which is used as a
fastener, as a peg to hang something, or
sometimes as a decoration. Generally nails
have a sharp point on one end and a
flattened head on the other, but headless
nails are available.
Rebar (short for reinforcing bar),
collectively known as reinforcing steel and
reinforcement steel, is a steel bar or mesh
of steel wires used as a tension device in
reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry
structures to strengthen and hold the
concrete in tension.
A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled
vehicle, usually with just one wheel,
designed to be pushed and guided by a
single person using two handles at the rear,
or by a sail to push the
ancient wheelbarrowby wind. ... Use
of wheelbarrows is common in the
construction industry and in gardening.
A power trowel (also known as a "power
float", "helicopter" or "trowel machine" or
"whirlybird") is a piece of
light construction equipment used
by constructioncompanies and contractors,
to apply a smooth finish to concrete slabs.

A plate compactor is an indispensable
piece of construction equipment that is used
to compress different types of soil and
gravel. Although each plate compactor is a
story for itself, mainly they all consist of a
heavy steel plate which is mounted to the
base of the machine and bears (resembles
push-style mower).
A try square is a woodworking or a
metalworking tool used for marking and
measuring a piece of wood.
The squarerefers to the tool's primary use of
measuring the accuracy of a right angle (90
degrees); to try a surface is to check its
straightness or correspondence to an
adjoining surface.

Pliers are made in various shapes and sizes

and for many uses. Some are used for
gripping something round like a pipe or rod,
some are used for twisting wires, and others
are designed to be used for a combination of
tasks including cutting wire.

Crowbars are commonly used to open

nailed wooden crates, remove nails, or pry
apart boards. Crowbars can be used as any
of the three lever classes but the curved end
is usually used as a first-class lever, and the
flat end as a second class lever.
A hard hat is a type
of helmet predominantly used in workplace
environments such as industrial
or construction sites to protect the head from
injury due to falling objects, impact with
other objects, debris, rain, and electric
shock. Suspension bands inside the helmet
spreads the helmet's weight and the force of
any impact over the top of the head. A
suspension also provides space of
approximately 30 mm (1.2 inch) between the
helmet's shell and the wearer's head, so that
if an object strikes the shell, the impact is
less likely to be transmitted directly to the
skull. Some helmet shells have a mid-line
reinforcement ridge to improve impact
resistance. The rock climbing helmet fulfills
a very similar role in a different context and
has a very similar design.

A spirit level, bubble level or simply

a level is an instrument designed to indicate
whether a surface is horizontal (level) or
vertical (plumb). ... These vials are
incompletely filled with a liquid, usually a
colored spirit or alcohol, leaving a bubble in
the tube.
