What is the 4 classification pf basic handtools in SMAW?

The four classifications of basic hand tools used in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) are cutting tools (such as oxy-fuel torches and plasma cutters), shaping tools (like chisels and hammers), fastening tools (including clamps and pliers), and measuring tools (such as tape measures and squares). Each classification serves a specific purpose in preparing, manipulating, and finishing materials for welding. Proper selection and use of these tools are essential for achieving quality welds and ensuring safety during the welding process.
