Common Tools Used in Ireland

The tools used in Ireland are the same standard hand and power tools found worldwide. There is no unique "Irish tool" set. Typical examples include:

• Shovel – moving loose material (soil, gravel)
• Pickaxe – breaking hard ground/rock
• Wheelbarrow – transporting loads
• Hammer – driving nails/fasteners
• Saw – cutting wood/metal
• Drill – making holes
• Screwdriver – driving screws
• Wrench – turning nuts/bolts
• Pliers – gripping, bending, cutting wire

Specialized trades (farming, construction, fishing) use industry-standard equipment adapted to local conditions.
