Since the advent of man, tools have assisted him in his various pursuits. Tools have helped man to survive. They have also helped him to gather food by hunting and enabled him construct a shelter to guard his family against the perils of the wild. These tools have changed from bone to metal with the passing of time and the development of civilization.
These tools have somehow also become a symbol of man's ingenuity and creativity. In the contemporary world, hand operated working tools have been replaced by power tools. These tools have become so common that it has become customary to find an electric powered saw or electric powered drill, on a woodworker's workshop.
Power Hand Tools
Nail Gun
This tool is fundamentally a hammer which hits the nail in one go. Simply put, this tool is equipped for quicker and accurate nail driving. The principle governing their working can be compressed air, electromagnetism or small explosive charges. They are also called as bradders, pin nailers, for smaller nail guns, and brad nailers. The nail gun has made the age-old hammer obsolete and has become the darling hand held power tool amongst builders
Hand Held Power Drill
Akin to the age old drill, the Hand held Power Drill is used for boring holes and can be driven by gas, electricity or motor. This hand powered or hand held power drill comes with a rotating drill bit. This equipment works by pressing the rotating drill bit against a wood piece, where the tip of the drill bores into the wood, shaving off bits and pieces of wood and creates a hole. The hand held power drills are quite well liked amongst the hand held power tools.
Electric Sanders
These hand held power tools make the mundane sanding procedures fast and give a consistent sanding. They are also quite efficient in providing a smooth finish to the wood pieces. Since they are hand held devices, they can be used to sand curved areas of a wood piece, as well as flat surfaces.
Electric Powered Jig Saws
These Electric Powered Jig Saws are an incredible variety of hand held power tools. Their function is similar to a hand powered jigsaw; the only difference is that an electric powered jig saw cuts the wood pieces in to various shapes, only more efficiently and quickly. It also lessens the woodworker's work as they are powered by a motor and make sawing quick, easy and precise. These tools are quite apt for cutting wood pieces in a straight simple cut or cutting them into different shapes and sizes.
The bottom line is that the hand held power tools are not very different from their hand powered forerunners. Their functionality and use remains the same. The only difference lies in increased efficiency and precision.
