About the Book

The Complete illustrated Guide to Everything Sold in Hardware Stores identifies the name and function of thousands of common and uncommon tools, hardware, and materials. Not only a visual dictionary of products, it is filled with advice on how to use the tools, safety issues to consider, and buying tips. This revised edition features over 100 new illustrations and many of the amazing new products that have come on the market since the original book was published over a decade ago. From the "zoological" tools (cat's paw, crow's foot, snake) to the oddly suggestive (stud finder, undressed stone, hickey) to the downright intriguing (plumb bob, spud wrench, and butt chisel), every home repair item you have ever been curious about can be found in this unique and wonderful book.
