Garden Hand Tools

Whether you need to fix up that motorcycle in your garage, or transplant some petunias into your garden, there is a hand tool ready to help you get the job done.

A hand tool is designated as a device for doing a job that uses the power of the person using it instead of a motor. Nearly every type of tool can be a hand tool, though some, like drills, are called power tools because of their use of a motor.

A basic set of hand tools should be easily accessible in the home. Items like a hammer, flat head and Phillips head screwdrivers, a utility knife, and some different types of pliers are a good place to start and should cover most minor problems.

Specialized activities, such as gardening, automotive repair, or carpentry have different needs and may require more specific tools.
