Let’s go through each tool one by one and fill in the “Uses” section based on what each tool is commonly used for. We’ll keep it simple and clear.

1. Hammer
→ Used to hit nails into wood or pull them out. Also used to break things apart gently.
2. Wood plane
→ Used to smooth flat surfaces of wood by shaving off thin layers.
3. Wood file
→ Used to shape or smooth wood (or metal) by rubbing it back and forth — like sandpaper but with a rigid tool.
4. Nail set
→ Used to push nail heads slightly below the surface of wood so they’re hidden, then you can fill over them.
5. Hand saw
→ Used to cut wood by hand — great for straight cuts when you don’t have power tools.
6. Hand drill
→ Used to make holes in wood, metal, or plastic by turning the handle manually.
7. Bit and brace
→ An old-style hand tool that holds different drill bits; used to bore larger holes in wood.
8. Auger bit
→ A special long drill bit designed to dig deep, clean holes in wood — often used with a brace.
9. Flat head screwdriver
→ Used to turn screws that have a single slot across the top (flat-head screws).
10. Phillips head screwdriver
→ Used to turn screws that have a cross-shaped (+) indentation on top.
11. Trysquare
→ Used to check if corners are perfectly 90 degrees (right angles), or to mark straight lines at right angles.
12. Scratch awl
→ Used to poke small marks or start holes in wood before drilling or nailing — helps guide your next step.
13. Standard drill bit
→ Used with a power drill or hand drill to make round holes in wood, metal, or plastic.
14. Wood chisel
→ Used to carve or remove small pieces of wood — often paired with a hammer to chip away material.

16. Coping saw
