Made Hand Tools in an Ajay Industry

Wheel Balancing Plier Handsaw hasn't always cut accurately and effortlessly; it's taken thousands of years to refine the temper and composition of the blade and the shape of the teeth. Such has also been the case with augers, planes, braces, axes, and even with tools as simple as hammers.Some evolved in a spurt of ingenuity - an entirely new machine took shape - but mostly they improved slowly, one step at an amount of time and even a step backward now and again.

Spark Plug Socket (Swivel Head) It's harder to see, but the process is as dynamic today as it ever was, for looking someone will always be for a way to pry just a little bit more efficiency from a tool. All tools were hand tools until quite recently (The first were undoubtedly pounding tools - hard rocks with the right shape and heft to chip other rocks into axes and scraping tools. Lashing the ax heads to a piece of bone or wood, man extended the natural movements of his hand and arm for greater force, and so developed the first woodworking tools).

Double Open End Spanner Short Pattern From Ajay Industries, the evolution of tools followed in the wake of a growing knowledge of metallurgy - the ability to smelt first copper and then copper and tin into bronze cutting edges. Neither made particularly durable edges, but amazingly and this was about 5,000 years ago (Bronze Age man fashioned workable saws, chisels, augers, and adzes). Once mastered, the ability to smelt


iron ore, heat and hammer it into wrought (worked) iron, and then harden it in a delicate tempering process yielded robust tool steel. Ultimately, this led to modern hand tools as we know them.

Double Open End Spanner Long Pattern (Din 3110, Iso 3318, Iso 1085) Well, the 19th century, the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, a carpenter's tool kit was primary. A few chisels and gouges, three or four planes, a few saws, a hammer, an ax and a hatchet, an adze, and some measuring tools. These would have been wooden tools with few metal parts. Ironically, just as hand tools were being replaced by machines - planers, molders, and saws driven by water or stream. Second half of 19th century saw the growth of factory production and industrial know-how, spurred in part by the civil war. New manufacturing processes such as casting, milling and making batches of identical parts changed the way tools designed and made. Creative mind modified old tools and invented new ones to suit the factory worker.

Bihexagonal Ring Spanner Deep Offset (Sin 838, Iso 3318) The one's of the industrial age produced an offering of woodworking tools more varied than we will likely ever see again. Hundreds of patents were taken out for tool improvements - from better chuck designs to the auger bits they held and for whole new means born of the mere challenge of designing them.
