Power tools are mechanical devices powered by external sources such as electricity, batteries, or compressed air, designed to perform tasks more efficiently and with less manual effort compared to hand tools. Hand tools, on the other hand, rely on manual effort and are essential for basic, everyday tasks.
The main types of power and hand tools include secateurs, hammers, spanners, and others. Secateurs are hand tools specifically used for cutting and trimming small branches, stems, and plants in gardening and horticulture. Various technologies used in power tools include engine drivers, hydraulic and powder-actuated systems, pneumatic systems, and electric systems. These technologies cater to a range of applications across different fields such as electronics, construction, aerospace, and automobiles.
