- Bent needle-nose pliers are another name for needle-nose pliers with a bent tip.
- Vise grip pliers are useful for gripping and twisting objects.
Files and Scrapers
- Files are classified according to the coarseness of the teeth on the face, ranging from coarse to fine.
- A scraper is used to remove small amounts of metal shavings or debris.
Drilling and Boring
- A hacksaw can be used to cut through metals, wood, or plastic.
- A reamer is typically made of high-speed steel and is used for enlarging or smoothing out holes.
- A twist drill is used for drilling small holes through metals, wood, or plastic, with smaller twist drills having shorter shanks.
