The claw-shaped end grips and extracts nails, tacks, and brads while the plastic handle provides a comfortable grip.

Lift and pry small objects, such as electronic and circuit board-mounted components. These tools have a static-dissipative handle that drains static from your application, preventing buildup from electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive equipment. They are also known as chip lifters.

The plastic handle provides a comfortable grip. The end is tapered on both sides of the bar.

The gooseneck end of these pry bars is aluminum-bronze coated to prevent scratching. Often used to separate die blocks, they're also known as die bars.

Style K are good for separating die sets. Also known as die bars.

Pry bars with offset and gooseneck ends give you more leverage than straight ends.

The claw-shaped end grips and extracts nails, tacks, and brads. Made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, these tools inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. Also known as claw bars.

Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

An insulated handle protects against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits. These tools are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. The end is tapered on both sides of the bar.

An alternative to Swiss Army knives, these contain a variety of tools aside from knives for use on the go. These tools are made with stainless steel, so they resist corrosion.

Fit these tools into your wallet or pocket to handle unexpected jobs while on the go. These tools are made with stainless steel, so they won’t rust when exposed to water or mild cleaning solutions.

To limit hand fatigue, these multitools have pliers that spring open when you release the handles. Open them by pressing the lock buttons on both sides and sliding the pliers out without squeezing the handles together. These multitools also have a screwdriver that folds out to the center, so you can hold it like a standard screwdriver. This makes it easier to turn for more torque than other multitool drivers. Made of stainless steel, these multitools resist corrosion.

Made of stainless steel, these cutters won’t rust even when stored in damp environments. The grips drain static away from the blades to prevent damage to sensitive equipment from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Also known as nippers, these cutters have wide, flat jaws that make flush cuts, so you don’t nick anything beneath your wire. The spring-assisted jaws open automatically when you release the handles.

Shaped like tweezers, these cutters make accurate, flush cuts in small wire without damaging the surface underneath. The grips drain static away from the tips, protecting sensitive components from electrostatic discharge (ESD). These end cutters are often used to trim excess wire leads after soldering electronic components onto circuit boards.

Cutters with tungsten carbide tips cut through the hardest metal and stay sharp longer than cutters with steel tips. These cutters have stainless steel handles to resist rusting in damp or humid environments.

Cutters with 9/32” lg. tips are short and rounded at the end to give you the best view of your wire. They’re often used under microscopes or in other small spaces.

Cutters with rubber grips are cushioned for a comfortable hold.

Use these knives as spreaders, scrapers, and paint-roller cleaners. They have a beveled edge for removing thin coatings.

Ergonomically designed, rubber handle putty knives fit your hand comfortably to minimize fatigue. Fold and lock the blade on these knives closed with the push of a button. Use them to open cans, pull nails, remove caulk, and scrape curved surfaces.

Drive nails with the flat, steel face and remove them with the claw on the other end of the head.

Curved-claw hammers provide high leverage for nail removal. Straight-claw hammers are also known as framing hammers. They're a good choice for ripping and prying wood in addition to nail removal, but they do not remove nails as efficiently as curved-claw hammers.

Dead blow nail hammers have a head loaded with metal shot for a controlled impact and minimal rebound. The handle is lightweight to provide a fast swing while driving nails.

Serrated face prevents the head from slipping when striking.

Hickory handles resist vibration. Steel and aluminum handles are stronger than hickory handles but have less vibration resistance. Fiberglass handles combine the strength of steel with the vibration resistance of wood. Polycarbonate handles with graphite core resist breakage if you miss your mark.

Textured and ribbed grips provide slip resistance.

Hammers with a magnetic nail starter hold nails in position at the top of the head, so a free hand is not needed to steady the nail before striking it. Hammers with a nail pulling groove can remove nails in tighter spaces than claws. Hammers with a board grip hold 2" thick boards.
