Chapter 4: Basic Tools and Equipment

Hand Tools

Hammers, trowels, spirit levels, tape measures, and chisels form the basic hand-tool kit used across most construction trades.

Power Tools

Heavy Equipment

Excavators, concrete mixers, and cranes are used for larger-scale work and require certified operators.
