Introduction
There are many different types of steel toolboxes available on the market today. If you’re thinking about getting one, it’s important to understand what tools are included in every type of box to ensure that your purchase will meet your needs. The following is a list of tools that you can expect to find in any steel tool box:
Hammer
A hammer is an essential tool in any steel tool box. It’s the one you’ll use most often, and it has a variety of purposes.
- You can drive nails into wood with a hammer.
- You can remove nails from wood with a hammer.
- Hammering can also be used as an alternative to driving screws into the wood; simply place the head of your nail against the surface of your project and tap it lightly until it goes all the way through. Then, use another piece of wood or metal to pull out both pieces simultaneously!
Screwdriver
Screwdrivers are used to turn screws. They have flat blades that fit into the slots of a screw head and can be turned by hand to tighten or loosen a screw. The size of the blade will determine how small or large of a screwdriver you need to use it on. Phillips-head drivers are also available for screws with cross-shaped heads instead of slots at one end.
If your metal toolbox does not come with screwdrivers, you could purchase some separately from an online store or hardware store. Make sure you purchase the right type for your needs—flat, Phillips, etc.—and that it properly fits into your steel toolbox!
Pliers
Pliers are metal gripping tools used to hold objects or exert pressure on the material. They are often used in many trades, including plumbing, electrical work and carpentry.
Pliers come in many different shapes and sizes. The most common style is the channel lock plier, but needle nose pliers and slip joint pliers are available on the market today. Some types even have interchangeable heads that can be changed depending on your need!
Wrench
A wrench is a tool used to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts. Wrenches come in many sizes and shapes, each for a different purpose. The most common wrenches are called open-end or box-end wrenches because they have an open end on the handle side of the tool (not closed like a pipe or socket wrench).
Open-end or box-end wrenches can be made from many materials, including steel, aluminium and plastic. Different materials are used because each material has its advantages depending on the work you’re doing. For example:
- Steel: Sturdy yet heavy – can withstand great amounts of torque without breaking;
- Aluminium: Lightweight yet strong – less likely than steel to break at high torque levels;
- Plastic: Flexible but not very durable – best suited for lighter work applications
Drill
A drill is a tool used to create holes in various materials. The drill bit is embedded in the front of the drill and rotates as you apply pressure. There are many different types of drills available, including:
- Drill press: A drill press uses a motor to spin its bit at high speeds so that you can use it for tasks like woodworking or metalwork.
- Cordless screwdriver: This type of screwdriver has no cord and allows you to place your hand wherever you want when working on small projects such as assembling furniture.
- Hammer drill: This type of power tool has an engine similar to those found in cars, which gives it great torque for drilling into concrete or stone surfaces.
Conclusion
Steel toolboxes come in many shapes and sizes. They can be used for anything, from carrying small items to organizing documents and office supplies.
