What Are Tools and Hardware?

Tools and hardware cover the hand tools, power tools, fasteners and supplies used for building, repairs, maintenance and DIY projects. Retailers such as Murdoch's split the category into power tools, hand tools, jobsite equipment and hardware, while Harbor Freight's hardware section covers fasteners such as screws, nuts, bolts, hinges and rivets.

Hand tools are powered by your own effort, such as hammers, wrenches and pliers. Power tools run on electricity, batteries, fuel or air, and OSHA groups them by power source: electric, pneumatic, liquid fuel, hydraulic and powder-actuated.

Our collection focuses on tools for home repair, DIY and the garden.

What's in Our Tools and Hardware Collection?

The collection lists 359 products, and 355 were in stock when we updated this page on October 5, 2026. Prices run from $10.02 to $917.45, with a median starting price of $28.45.

Groups come from product titles on October 5, 2026, and counts are approximate. The collection also includes other garden and household items, so use the filters to narrow your search.

Power Tools

Power tools make drilling, cutting and fastening faster. Our tools and hardware range includes 93 power tools, most of them cordless.

Cordless drills and impact drivers

A cordless drill drives screws and bores holes in wood, plastic and light metal. The Rechargeable Cordless Electric Drill with Brushless motor costs $28.05, and the Cordless Impact Screwdriver, Rechargeable 21V, costs $53.46 for tougher fastening jobs.

Brushless motors run cooler and more efficiently than brushed motors, which helps batteries last longer.

Rotary hammers

The Electric Hammer Lithium Battery Brushless Rotary Hammer costs $56.82 and adds a hammering action for drilling into brick and concrete.

Angle grinders and saws

Angle grinders cut and grind metal, tile and stone. The Brushless High Power Electric Angle Grinder costs $38.23. For the garden, the Electric Pruning Saw with Brushless Motor costs $51.81, and the Electric Chainsaw with Lithium Battery costs $49.09.

Cordless ratchet wrenches

The Rechargeable Lithium Ratchet Wrench Set costs $61.17 and speeds up removing and tightening nuts and bolts in tight spaces.

Hand Tools

Hand tools are the backbone of any tools and hardware kit. Our range includes 169 hand tools.

Wrenches and socket sets

Socket sets fit many nut and bolt sizes from one handle. The Socket Set 3/8-Inch Drive 24-Piece Chrome Vanadium costs $39.08, and the Socket Wrench Set with 180-Degree Pivot costs $23.50.

Pliers and wire strippers

The Multifunctional Electrician Pliers 8-in-1 cost $33.10, and the Stainless Steel 8-in-1 Multifunctional Wire Stripper costs $30.34. These combine cutting, stripping and crimping in one tool.

Hammers

The Wooden Handle Hammer with Claw for Nail Pulling costs $20.67, and the Multifunctional Claw Hammer with Adjustable Angle costs $36.56.

Measuring tools and levels

Accurate measuring saves time and materials. The Green Laser Level 12-Line High Precision costs $54.82 and projects level and plumb lines for tiling, shelving and framing, while the Aluminum Alloy Magnetic Level Ruler costs $22.78.

Tool Kits and Sets

Tool kits give you a ready-made set of tools and hardware essentials. They suit first homes, apartments, cars and gifts.

Our range includes about 40 kits and sets, from the 14-Piece Multi-Purpose Scraper and Glue Tool Kit ($25.77) to the 252 Tools Kit VII Removable Machine Repair Tool set ($673.13).

Welding and Soldering Tools

Soldering irons join electrical wires and repair circuit boards, while plastic welders repair bumpers and plastic parts. The Soldering Iron Set with Adjustable Temperature costs $29.02, and the Soldering Station Kit with Digital Display and Hot Air costs $58.73.

Work in a well-ventilated area, use a stand for the hot iron, and wear eye protection.

Garden Tools, Hoses and Mowers

Our tools and hardware collection also covers the yard.

Garden hand tools

The 9-Piece Garden Tool Set with Carbon Steel Heads costs $27.38, and the Foldable Garden Kneeling Stool with Tool Storage costs $24.14.

Garden hoses

Expandable hoses shrink back for storage. The 50FT Expandable Garden Hose Flexible Water Hose costs $28.45, and the Garden Hose Telescopic Magic Hose with Metal Spray costs $21.40.

Lawn mowers

The Gas Push Lawn Mower, Self Propelled, costs $169.78 to $407.47, and the Gasoline Lawn Mower for Easy Home Garden Yard Care costs $848.24 to $917.45, the highest price in the collection.

Tool Safety

Safe habits matter as much as good tools and hardware. OSHA lists five basic rules for hand and power tools: keep tools in good condition with regular maintenance, use the right tool for the job, examine each tool for damage before use, operate tools according to the manufacturer's instructions, and use the right personal protective equipment (OSHA, Hand and Power Tools).

OSHA notes that the greatest hazards from hand tools come from misuse and poor maintenance. For power tools, it advises never carrying a tool by its cord, keeping cords away from heat, oil and sharp edges, and keeping good footing and balance.

Wear safety glasses for cutting, grinding and drilling, hearing protection for loud tools, and gloves where appropriate. Unplug corded tools or remove batteries before changing bits or blades.

Voltage and plugs

US homes use 110 to 120 volt outlets. Some listings offer 220V or EU and UK plug variants, which won't work safely in US outlets without proper conversion, so choose US-plug or battery-powered versions.

Caring for Tools and Hardware

Well-maintained tools and hardware last longer and work more safely. Wipe tools clean after use, and keep metal hand tools dry to prevent rust; a light coat of oil helps in damp garages.

Store power tools in their cases or on shelves away from moisture, and keep batteries partly charged during long storage. Replace worn bits, blades and discs, since dull accessories strain motors and increase kickback risk.

Keep cords untangled and check them for cuts before each use. A tool bag or box keeps your tools and hardware organized and easy to find.

Tools and Hardware for Beginners

If you're setting up your first tool kit, start small. A claw hammer, a screwdriver set, pliers, a tape measure, a level and a cordless drill cover most home tasks, from hanging shelves to assembling furniture.

Add tools as projects demand rather than buying everything at once. That way, your tools and hardware collection grows around the jobs you actually do.

How to Choose Tools and Hardware

Use these steps to build a useful tool collection:

1. List the jobs you do most often, such as assembly, repairs or yard work.
2. Start with a basic hand tool kit: hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, tape measure and level.
3. Add a cordless drill and driver for faster fastening.
4. Choose one battery platform so packs can be shared across tools.
5. Add specialty tools, such as a grinder or soldering iron, as projects demand.
6. Check voltage, plug type and battery size in every listing.
7. Get a tool bag or box to keep everything organized.

Tools and Hardware FAQs

What tools should every home have?

A basic home kit includes a claw hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, an adjustable wrench, a tape measure, a level, a utility knife and a cordless drill. Our tools and hardware range covers these essentials, with many hand tools under $25 and cordless drills from $28.05.

Are cordless tools as good as corded ones?

For most home jobs, yes: modern lithium and brushless cordless tools have plenty of power and are easier to move around, while corded tools still suit long, heavy jobs. 74 titles in our range mention cordless, lithium, rechargeable or brushless designs.

What does brushless mean on a power tool?

A brushless motor uses electronic control instead of carbon brushes. It runs cooler and more efficiently, which can extend battery run time and motor life. Many of the drills, grinders and saws in our tools and hardware range list brushless motors.

What safety gear do I need for power tools?

Wear safety glasses for drilling, cutting and grinding, hearing protection for loud tools, a dust mask for sanding, sturdy footwear, and gloves where appropriate. OSHA also advises examining tools for damage before use and following the manufacturer's instructions every time you work.

Will these power tools work in US outlets?

Battery tools and US-plug versions will. Some listings include 220V or EU and UK plug variants, which aren't suited to US 110 to 120 volt outlets. Always choose the US-plug or battery variant, and ask support if a listing is unclear.

Can I return a tool I've used?

Returns need the item to be new, unused and in its original packaging, so check voltage and fit before using it. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number and reason. If a tool arrives damaged, contact us within 14 days of delivery.

Should I buy a tool kit or individual tools?

A kit is the quickest, cheapest way to get the basics, especially for a first home or a gift. Individual tools make sense when you need higher quality or a specific size. Many people start with a kit and upgrade the tools they use most.

What's the difference between a drill and an impact driver?

A drill bores holes and drives screws with steady rotation and an adjustable clutch. An impact driver adds rapid rotational blows, which drive long screws and loosen stubborn bolts more easily. Our impact drivers start at $53.46, and cordless drills at $28.05.

Do you sell lawn mowers?

Yes, the tools and hardware collection includes gas push and self-propelled mowers, electric models and replacement trimmer heads. The gas push mower starts at $169.78, and the gasoline lawn mower costs up to $917.45. Check engine type and cutting width in each listing.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.

Find the Right Tools and Hardware

The right tools and hardware come down to three checks: the jobs you actually do, the right power source and voltage, and safe, well-maintained tools. Get those right and every repair and project becomes easier.
