A vise is a clamp that is anchored to a work station and designed to hold material in place while it is being operated upon.

A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.

Micrometers measure the diameter of cylindrical objects. Outside micrometers measure the external diameter of cylinders and inside micrometers measure the internal diameter of the cylinder's hole.

Wrenches are used with threaded fasteners like bolts and nuts. A bolt has external threads while a nut has internal threads and this thread pattern combination allows them to lock together and act as fasteners. Nuts come in a variety of configurations including wing nuts which provide appendages that allow tightening and loosening by hand, slotted nuts that use a cotter pin to lock the nut in place and prevent it from loosening, and lock nuts that also prevent loosening via nylon in their threads. Threads are identified by pitch which is the number of threads per inch.

The joining material for a weld is called a welding or filler rod and is available in a variety of diameters and alloys for different welding tasks.
