Tools: A Tool-By-Tool Guide To Choosing And Using 150 Home Essentials
By Steve Dodds
This little book has lots of information about tools – how to use them, what they are designed for, how expensive or inexpensive they are, how essential they are to have around, what skill level is needed, and what kinds of materials the tools are used on. With illustrations of each tool and its variations, the information is useful to beginners as well as more experienced workers.
Section 3 is a guide to using all the tools, but the book also includes a guide to learning how to use tools properly and how to buy the ones you need in the first section. Section 2 lays out a variety of kits that would be handy for specific purposes; for example, you might want to look at the tools most useful for a home workshop or perhaps the tools most useful for living in an apartment. There is also a glossary of terms and a complete index.
Handy book: “I’ve always been fascinated by hardware stores and all the wonderful tools available. It’s fun to look at tools to try to figure out what they are and how they are used. Some are designed for very specific purposes like the doweling jig, and others have much broader uses like hammers or clamps. Tools is like a guided tour of the hardware store.” –Norma Lilly, MLS
