Tools commonly used in repairs?

• A. Hammers and Wrenches
• B. Screwdrivers and Pliers
• C. Drills and Saws
• D. Measuring Tapes

Answer: (A)

In many repairs you need tools that can both secure pieces together and loosen or tighten fittings. Hammers and wrenches fit this need because a hammer drives nails to join materials, while a wrench grips and turns nuts and bolts to fasten or loosen them. This combination covers a wide range of common repair tasks—from hanging things and assembling furniture to fixing loose fittings—without requiring power tools.

Drills and saws are mainly for cutting or making holes, which isn’t always part of a repair. Measuring tapes are for measuring, which is important but doesn’t perform the fastening or loosening action. Screwdrivers and pliers are very useful, but the universal applicability of nails/bolts means hammers and wrenches are the most broadly applicable pair for everyday repairs.
