hand, struck with a mallet, or mechanical power.
A saw is a tool consisting of a tough blade, wire,
or chain with a hard toothed edge. It is used to cut through
material, very often wood. The cut is made by placing the
toothed edge against the material and moving it forcefully
forth and less forcefully back or continuously forward. This
force may be applied by hand,
or powered by steam, water, electricity or
other power source. An abrasive saw has a powered
circular blade designed to cut through metal.

depending on their purposes
A power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power
source and mechanism other than the solely manual labour used
with hand tools. The most common types of power tools
use electric motors
In machining, boring is the process of
enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by
means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head
containing several such tools), such as in boring a gun
barrel or an engine cylinder
Test management tools are used to store information on
how testing is to be done, plan testing activities and report
the status of quality assurance activities
