Power & Hand Tools

• Power tools are devices driven by electricity, batteries, or motors, enabling faster and more effortless task completion. Examples include cordless paint sprayers, electric chainsaw, and electric drills.
• Manual tools, on the other hand, rely entirely on human power. Driven by physical force, they offer greater control and precision. Examples include screwdrivers, hammers, and wrenches.

Hand tools are operated manually and are ideal for precision work and small repairs. Power tools run on electricity or batteries, providing greater power and speed for larger projects and heavy-duty tasks. They differ mainly in power, efficiency, cost, safety requirements, and application.

To better clean power and hand tools, follow these steps:

1. Remove dust and debris: Use a dry cloth or soft brush
2. For stubborn stains: Use a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent
3. Dry tools: Allow to air dry or wipe dry with a cloth
4. Prevent rust: Apply a thin layer of machine oil to metal parts

Tools with sharp blades or moving parts—such as saws, drills, grinders, and cutting tools—require safety precautions. Always wear protective gear and follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions during use.
