Hand Tools

Hand tools have been the backbone of a handyman since the beginning of time. I can guarantee you Adam had basic hand tools in the Garden of Eden. That's how the tool belt was invented. Those Fig leaves didn't have any pockets on them so Adam used a vine and created a tool belt to hold his hand tools! (okay, that was a joke if you didn't get it!)

Hand Tools and Their Uses

Hand Saws - These are the old school saws you saw your Grandpa use around the farm. These have been in existence for centuries and are still a tried and true way to cut wood. But few people today have the skill to cut straight! Myself included!

Take it from me and save yourself some agony and frustration. You need a good handsaw around the home or cabin. Don't buy a cheap one, get a high quality handsaw made from quality steel. You'll thank me later!

Hacksaw - Although you've probably heard the name, few probably actually know that a hacksaw is used to cut metal and other hard materials. Although it can be slow going, a hacksaw is designed to cut through these materials and maintain a somewhat sharp blade. A good tip for a hacksaw is to buy the very best blade you can. Cheap hacksaw blades will dull in no time and more than likely they'll warp making cutting any type of metal a laborious job to say the least.

Magnetic Pickup Tool - "OH S#%$".  Have you ever muttered something like that when you dropped a part or tool into the deepest dark recesses of your work area? I imagine you have. Magnetic pickup tools allow you to find those little teeny tiny metal parts that seem to disappear into the unmentionable areas.

Magnetic sweepers - If you routinely work on cars, motorcycles, lawn mowers or just about anything else in the driveway, yard or on dirt and gravel, you know sometimes you drop something and it just seems to vanish no matter how hard you look for it. I can't tell you the number of times I've dropped a bolt or nut right by my foot and could not find that darn thing for the life of me! Magnetic sweepers allow you to sweep an area and pick up those lost tools and parts that seem like they were lost forever.

Pry Bars - Everyone knows what a crowbar is, but did you know that there are bars called Demolition bars that are especially made for tearing things up? I love these on old houses! You can also find such cool toys as spud bars, wrecking bars (much like demolition bars), wonder bars and board benders to name a few. In short, if you have a need to pry or break something, there's a bar for that!

My favorite is the good ole Stanley Wonder Bar. This is a flat wiggly looking bar that has many uses. Everything from pulling nails to popping up floor boards, this bar will do it. Probably why they call it a wonder bar to begin with!

But don't think that you have to be a He Man to handle the end of a pry bar. There are smaller pry bars such as claw bars, tack bars and moulding bars that are often less than one foot in length. As the name suggest, moulding bars are small bars meant to pop off moulding away from the wall. Tack bars are meant to pull up tack strips and claw bars can do both jobs and then a few more!
