To better understand the difference between these two tools, here's a table breaking them down according to precision speed, length of use, energy source, and safety:
Difference | Hand Tools | Power Tools |
Precision | Become more precise when it comes to the level of control | Offer great precision for repetitive tasks such as drilling and cutting |
Speed | Slow | Fast |
Length of Use | Depends on the frequency of usage | Depends on the usage |
Energy Source | Human power | Electricity, gas, or battery |
Safety | Safe to use with proper handling | Safe to use with proper knowledge and safety equipment |
Benefits of Using to Use Hand Tools
Precise Hand tools are more precise than power tools. A power tool can give a wrong reading when the batteries are down but a hand tool can never be wrong. Hand tools give you the finest carvings and the most intricate deals in metal, wood and other materials. Hand tools are easily maneuvered and can be fully controlled manually.
Less noisy Hand tools are not noisy and buzzing enough to cause distress for other people. Hand tools are less disturbing for all your family, co-workers and neighbors. You don’t need ear plugs while working with a hand tool.
Safer With power tools, you are always in doubt of getting an electric shock as power tools run on heavy batteries and high speeds making them dangerous in unexpected situations. Only trained people can use power tools whereas anyone can use hand tools and since you manually operate them, they’re in your control all the time.
Convenient You can use a hand tool anywhere at any time. For using a power tool, you need an extension or any electricity connection whereas a hand tool needs no electricity. You can easily take your hand tools set with you while you’re travelling too.
Light weight Hand tools are not as heavy as power tools so it gets easier to handle them at all times. Their lighter weight makes them simple and easy to use.
Hassle-free Hand tools require no maintenance like a power tool needs cleaning and other maintenance for different parts. They can fit in any compact space without an issue.

Rules for Making Your Hand Tools Last
Easily one of the last things you’re likely to want to do after a long day on site. It can be a drag, but it can also be one of the easiest ways to keep your tools ticking over. Dust, grease and debris can build up quickly and regularly wiping down your tools with a rag or towel can help prevent this.
It's hard to stay clean and dry when the place you spend most of your time isn’t. A spillage in your tool box or damage to its exterior can spell trouble for the tools inside. Make sure your toolbox is in tip top shape.
Time to think outside the box – literally! A toolbox can only offer so much protection if it’s sitting in a damp garage every night. Make sure you’re keeping your toolbox somewhere relatively warm and dry.
As if we hadn’t made it clear enough already. Rust is an easy way to ruin your tools. Why not try adding a silica gel sachet to your toolbox? It’s a great way to keep moisture out and save your tools from a rusty demise.
Now you know how key it is to maintain your toolbox. It’s also important to make sure you’re using proper storage in the first place.
Striking tools take a walloping like few other tools do. The surface of the metal head can end up forming a ridge when the metal mushrooms. This lip can continue to split and curl until the metal head breaks entirely. You don’t want this to happen while you’re using it! If you start seeing edges form on the metal head, consider using a powered grinder to grind them down.
It sounds silly, but using the right tool for the right job is the most important thing. It’s easy in a bind to use a tool for something other than its intended use. This can wind up damaging your tools in unpredictable ways in the long run. Save yourself some money – if it needs hammering, use a hammer!
Remember how we mentioned cleaning your tools regularly? One of the other benefits of this is you can check your tools for defects. Cracks and splits can grow gradually over time if left untreated. Checking your tools regularly means you can catch damage like this at the first sign.
Tools with a sharpened edge only work if they’re sharp – the clues in the name. Ideally bladed tools should be properly sharpened once per season. If not they’ll get blunter, you’ll have to work harder to make them work, and things will only get worse from there.
Ever check over one of your tools, see a crack and think “how long has that been there?” A handy way to avoid these kinds of riddles is to track the condition of your tools each time you clean them. Every time you spy any small changes in condition, note down the tool and the date (maybe even take a picture on your phone), and you can use it as a reference next time around.
Tips on Selecting the Right Hand Tool
Whether you need a specific item or just want a broad sense of what hand tools you should acquire, here are some suggestions
Identify Your Needs Before Purchasing a Hand Tool
Before purchasing a hand tool, it is important to determine your specific needs. Take a woodworking plane, for instance, if you need flat surfaces. Pick purchase a pair of box joint pliers if you require joints that are more durable than average. Grab a hammer, nail gun, and shovel; you'll need them for a variety of building projects.
Choose the Right Hand Tool for the Job
Before going out to buy hand tools, you should know exactly what you'll be using them for. This allows you to get the appropriate hand tools for the task at hand.
Beware of Imitations
There is a plethora of hand tools available, therefore it's important to be wary of imitations. To be honest, though, the vast majority of them aren't worthwhile. Only buy the hand tool that is ideal for your job. It's likely an imitation if you come across a hand tool that looks like one you already have. Verify that the instrument in question is the precise one you need to use.
