Shop Hand Tools

AW Graham Lumber is Kentucky's top supplier of high-quality hand tools for home building and remodeling projects. Hand tools are an essential component of every toolbox and are used in a variety of manual activities such as chopping, chiseling, sawing, filing, and striking. Hand tools are adaptable, portable, and useful in a wide range of applications, making them an indispensable asset for both professionals and do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Common materials used to make hand tools include metal, plastic, and wood. Each material offers its own set of advantages, such as durability, comfort, and ease of usage. The type of hand tool you require will be determined by the task at hand, and selecting the correct tool for the job is critical to achieving the best results.

Essential Hand Tools for Every Project - Knowing which tools you need can make a significant difference in efficiency and final quality. Here are key categories and their functions:

• Measuring & Layout: Accuracy is paramount. Tools like our tape measures and chalk line and reels, as well as levels and squares, ensure cuts are straight, walls are plumb, and materials are positioned correctly.
  
  
• Striking & Demolition: These tools are built for force. We offer various types of hammers (framing, claw, sledge) and heavy-duty pry bars and wrecking bars for effective material fastening and removal.
  
  
• Cutting & Shaping: From rough cuts to fine finishes, having sharp tools is vital. Our inventory includes different tooth patterns for hand saws, versatile utility knives, and specialty snips and cutters for metal, wire, and trim work.
  
  
• Gripping & Fastening: Tools designed to turn, grip, and hold. This includes various wrenches and pliers, as well as rapid-fire staple guns for quick upholstery and vapor barrier installations.
  
  

Tips for Selecting and Maintaining Your Tools:

• Ergonomics: Look for tools with comfortable, non-slip handles. Good ergonomics reduce fatigue and improve safety, especially during repetitive tasks like hammering or sawing.
  
  
• Material Quality: Prioritize tools made from hardened, alloyed steel for durability and edge retention. For hammers and striking tools, ensure the head is securely attached and the face is free of mushrooming.
  
  
• Corrosion Prevention: Hand tools, particularly those used outside or on masonry (like concrete / mason tools), should be wiped clean and stored in a dry location. A light coat of oil prevents rust on metal surfaces.
