Hand Tools Word Search
Hand tools for the house fill this word search: the hammer and the screwdriver, a wrench and pliers, the tape measure and the utility knife, a hacksaw for metal, an Allen key for flat-pack furniture, and the toolbox that holds them all.
A screwdriver has to match the head of the screw. A flathead fits a single slot, the oldest design. Henry Phillips of Portland, Oregon, sold the cross-shaped head in the 1930s, and General Motors used it on the 1936 Cadillac because its tip slips out before the screw is overtightened, which suited fast assembly lines. Canada favors the square Robertson head, patented by Peter Robertson in 1909. The six-sided Allen key is named for the Allen company of Hartford, Connecticut.
Many of the rest are levers. A claw hammer pulls a nail because the head acts as the pivot and the long handle multiplies the push, the same leverage that runs a crowbar and the jaws of a pair of pliers. Archimedes put the idea in one line: give me a place to stand and I will move the earth. In Britain a wrench is a spanner, and the hacksaw keeps its fine teeth tight by stretching the blade in a metal frame.
