A hand tool pertains to a manually operated implement, devoid of motorized propulsion. The taxonomy of hand tools encompasses diverse categories, including but not limited to pliers, cutters, wrenches, striking tools, screwdrivers, hammers, vises, clamps, saws, knives, drills, and others. Within this spectrum, general-purpose tools encompass elementary implements like screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, and spanners used for fastening purposes. Metal cutting tools entail devices like hacksaws, axes, and chisels. Layout and measuring tools comprise items such as tapes and laser measurers. Taps and dies, on the other hand, function to create threads and can serve both as forming and cutting tools. A tap crafts or incises the female element (e.g., a nut), while a die shapes or incises the male counterpart (e.g., a bolt) of the mating ensemble.
