Measuring Tape

Measuring tape is used to check the thickness, length, widths of masonry walls, foundation beds, excavated trenches etc.

Measuring Wheel

Measuring wheel is used to measure the distances or lengths. It contains a wheel of known diameter, which record the no.of complete revolutions from which the distance can be measured. It makes the work easier.

Spirit Level

Spirit level is made of wood or hard plastic with bubble tube in the middle. The bubble tube is filled with alcohol partially. So, the air bubble is formed in it.

Spirit level is used in brick masonry to check the level of the surface. The spirit level is placed on surface and bubble is checked. The surface is leveled when the bubble in the tube settles at middle of tube.

Tile Cutter

Tile cutter is used to cut the tiles. Sometimes, normal tile size is larger than required at the corners where floor meets the wall in that case tile cutter is useful.

Polisher

Polisher is used to smoothen the surface of tiles, wood works etc. The smoothening makes them shine and the process is called polishing.

Drill Machine

Drill machine is used to make holes in the walls, slabs, doors, window frames etc.

Straight Edge Brushes

Straight edge brushes are used to provide finishing to the plastered surface especially at corners and edges of walls.

Shovel

A shovel is a tool for digging, lifting, and moving bulk materials, such as soil, coal, gravel, snow, sand, or ore.

Most shovels are hand tools consisting of a broad blade fixed to a medium-length handle. Shovel blades are usually made of sheet steel or hard plastics and are very strong. Shovel handles are usually made of wood (especially specific varieties such as ash

Spade

Spade is used to dig the soil for foundation trenches etc. It contains metal plate at the end of long wooden handle.

Pick Axe

Pick axe is used to excavate the soil. It is more suitable for hard soil which is quite difficult to dig with spade or hoe.

Hoe

Hoe is also used to excavate the soil but in this case the metal plate is provided with acute angle to the wooden handle.

Trowel

Trowel is used to lift and apply the cement mortar in small quantities. It is made of steel and wooden handle is provided for holding. The ends of trowel may be pointed or bull nosed.

Vibrator

Vibrator is used to compact the concrete by this the air gaps are filled with water and workability varies without adding water to it.

Plumb Bob

Plumb bob is used to check the verticality of structures. It contains a solid metal bob connected to the end of a thread. It is also used inn surveying to level the instrument position.

Trowel 

A trowel is a small hand tool used for digging, applying, smoothing, or moving small amounts of viscous or particulate material. Common varieties include the masonry trowel, garden trowel, and float trowel.

A power trowel is a much larger gasoline or electrically powered walk-behind device with rotating paddles used to finish concrete floors.

scraper

The scraper is a large piece of equipment which is used in mining, construction, agriculture and other earthmoving applications. The rear part has a vertically moveable hopper (also known as the bowl) with a sharp horizontal front edge. The hopper can be hydraulically lowered and raised.

Putty Knife

Putty knife is used level the putty finishing and also used to reduce the thickness of finish when it is more thick.

Earth Rammer

After the excavation of ground, the lower surface may be uneven. To level the surface earth rammer is used. It contains big square shaped block at its end with which the ground is leveled.

Rubber Boots

During construction works, legs may damage due to contact with chemical materials like cement or physical accidents. So, for safety rubber shoes are required.

Safety Glasses

To prevent the eyes from dust, chemical actions of materials etc. safety glasses should be maintained.

Bolster

Bolster is like chisel but it is used to cut bricks. Its cutting edge is wider than the width of brick. It is useful for accurate cutting of bricks.

Boning Rods

Boning rods are made of wood and they are T shape. They are used to level the excavated trench throughout its length. Minimum three boning rods are used to level the trench surface.
