There are a total of 1,035 Tools compiled in this comprehensive list. The selection includes common hand tools, power tools, measurement instruments, and digital utilities used across trades, workshops, and content creation.

Tools are instruments or devices that help people perform specific tasks by amplifying force, guiding motion, or measuring results. They range from simple hand tools like hammers and screwdrivers to powered equipment, precision gauges, and software utilities. Tools usually combine functional materials—steel, alloys, plastics, or electronics—and standardized interfaces or fittings. They play a central role in building, repairing, scientific work, education, and creative production.

Interesting and little-known facts about Tools:
