Shop tools are essential for any handyman or woodworker. Sanders, which are seven-letter tools, are used to smooth surfaces and edges of wood. Handsaws, which are eight-letter tools, are used to cut through wood with a back-and-forth motion. SAWS, which are four-letter tools, are used to make straight cuts in wood. Awls, which are also four-letter tools, are used to make holes in wood. Finally, drills, which are six-letter tools, are used to make holes in wood and other materials.
