Michael O'Nele · 2025
This chapter is intended to introduce the reader to a wide array of specialized hand tools that may be of use to the entertainment fabricator, especially those in the world of properties and other small objects. When appropriate, features, common uses, variants, and size options are discussed. Commonly available hand tools, such as slip-joint pliers, claw hammers, and screwdrivers are not covered here, because there are many other references with excellent information available. With the information provided, the reader should be able to discern the type of tool that is best suited to either a task, a facility, or personal preference.
