What is a "hammer"?

A hammer is a tool used for hitting nails, breaking objects, or shaping materials. It consists of a heavy head attached to a long handle. The head is usually made of metal and has a flat surface on one side for striking, and sometimes a claw or a different shape on the other side for pulling nails or performing other tasks. Hammers are commonly used in construction, carpentry, and various repair work.

What is a "drill"?

A drill is a tool used for making round holes in various materials like wood, metal, or stone. It typically has a rotating bit or head that spins quickly to cut into the surface. Drills can be powered by electricity, batteries, or manually, and are commonly used in construction, woodworking, and maintenance tasks. In addition to making holes, drills can also be used for driving screws or mixing substances, depending on the type of attachment used.

What is a "pin"?

A pin is a small, slender, pointed object used in sewing and other crafts to hold fabric pieces together temporarily. Pins are typically made of metal, with a sharp point at one end and a flat or rounded head at the other end to make it easy to handle and remove. They can be straight or curved, with some designs featuring a ball or pearl head for decorative purposes. Pins are an essential tool in sewing, allowing fabric pieces to be held together while being sewn without shifting or moving out of place. They are also commonly used in pattern-making and quilting. Pins must be handled with care to avoid injury, and some sewers prefer to use alternative methods such as clips or adhesive tape to hold fabric pieces together to reduce the risk of pricking themselves or damaging their fabric.

What is "cloth"?
