Portable tools, also known as hand-held or handheld tools, are manual or power tools

that are designed to be easily carried and operated by hand. These tools are versatile,
convenient, and widely used in various applications, including construction,
woodworking, metalworking, automotive repair, and DIY projects. Portable tools can be
either powered by electricity, batteries, compressed air, or simply operated manually.
They are typically compact, lightweight, and easy to transport to different job sites. Here
are some common categories of portable tools:

1. Hand Tools: These are non-powered tools that are operated by hand. Examples
include hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, chisels, hand saws, tape
measures, and levels.
2. Power Tools: These are tools that use electricity, batteries, or compressed air to
perform various tasks. Common power tools include:
 Drills and Impact Drivers: Used for drilling holes and driving screws.
 Circular Saws: Ideal for cutting wood, metal, or plastic.
 Jigsaws and Reciprocating Saws: Used for cutting intricate shapes or
making straight and curved cuts.
 Angle Grinders: Used for grinding, cutting, and polishing metal and other
materials.
 Sanders: Designed for smoothing surfaces by removing material.
 Router: Used for hollowing an area out of hard materials like wood or
plastic.
 Electric Screwdrivers: For driving screws efficiently.
 Heat Guns: Produce hot air for tasks like paint stripping and shrinking
heat-shrink tubing.
 Nail Guns and Staple Guns: Speed up fastening tasks in construction and
woodworking.
 Impact Wrenches: For high-torque applications, often used in automotive
repair.
 Electric Planers: Used to shape and smooth wooden surfaces.
 Power Routers: For hollowing out an area and shaping edges in
woodworking.
3. Cordless Tools: These are battery-powered tools that offer mobility without the
need for electrical outlets. Cordless drills, impact drivers, circular saws, and
reciprocating saws are common examples.
4. Pneumatic Tools: Also known as air tools, these tools are powered by
compressed air. Examples include pneumatic nail guns, impact wrenches, and
sanders, commonly used in automotive and construction work.
5. Hydraulic Tools: These tools use hydraulic fluid to generate force. They are often
used in heavy machinery and industrial applications, including hydraulic jacks and
crimping tools.
6. Welding and Cutting Tools: Portable welding machines and plasma cutters
allow for metal fabrication and repair in various locations.
7. Measuring Tools: Portable measuring tools include tape measures, laser
distance meters, calipers, and micrometers.
8. Layout and Marking Tools: These tools help with accurate measurements and
layout, such as chalk lines, marking gauges, and center punches.
9. Fastening Tools: These tools include riveters, manual and powered staplers,
manual and pneumatic nail guns, and glue guns.
10. Masonry Tools: Portable tools for masonry work, such as masonry saws, trowels,
and concrete vibrators.
11. Woodworking Tools: Portable woodworking tools, including hand planes,
routers, and electric sanders, are used for various tasks in woodworking.
12. Metalworking Tools: Tools such as portable grinders, shears, and metal cutting
saws are used for shaping and cutting metal.
13. Painting Tools: Portable tools for painting include paint sprayers, rollers, and
brushes.
14. Diagnostic and Testing Tools: Portable diagnostic tools are used in automotive
repair and electronics testing, such as multimeters and automotive code readers.
