mechanical tools
Motor-driven implements
Mechanical tools are hand-operated or power-driven devices used to perform physical work—cutting, shaping, fastening, measuring, or manipulating materials.
The category spans from simple implements like hammers and wrenches to complex machinery like lathes and drill presses.
The mechanic's toolbox held all the mechanical tools needed for the repair.
The term distinguishes physical implements from digital or software-based tools.
