[[Tools]] (both hand tools and power tools) are stored at various locations in the Maker Hub. Tools do not require certified training before use, but users are expected to familiarize themselves with tool operation by viewing the appropriate Wiki page. Furthermore, as part of the '''Safety First'' commandment, users are encouraged to seek help and instruction for any tool that they feel uncomfortable using. Volunteers will be available to serve these needs.
  
 +
This page contains a list of the tools available in the Maker Hub. Please see the [[Tool Room]] page for more information.

|Hammer
 
−
|A hammer is a tool with a heavy "head" and a handle. The purpose is to supply an impact to a small area of an object. Some uses include driving nails into wood, shaping metal, or driving stakes. Hammers are also used to strike chisels and other tools like metal punches. A hammer can be very dangerous if it slips out of the users hand.  Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer due to the risk of material flying into your eye.

Tools (both hand tools and power tools) are stored at various locations in the Maker Hub. Tools do not require certified training before use, but users are expected to familiarize themselves with tool operation by viewing the appropriate Wiki page. Furthermore, as part of the 'Safety First commandment, users are encouraged to seek help and instruction for any tool that they feel uncomfortable using. Volunteers will be available to serve these needs.

This page contains a list of the tools available in the Maker Hub. Please see the Tool Room page for more information.
