A few quibbles:

Without a clear way to tell size, the axe looks like a hatchet.

Axe can be spelled without the e (ax)

Nails are generally considered materials, not tools.

All fixed ;)

Also the nails have now been replaced by a real tool.

Could I recommend just "ladder" as a type-in for stepladder

It does not seem equivalent to me. There is a clear difference between this equipments I think. I'll consider adding this type-in if this answer turns out to be very rarely guessed.

Nice quiz with great pictures (nice and clean in dark mode too!). I knew that years long renovation that was supposed to take a few months would come in useful at some point...

Yes, I only chose clean PNGs for this one :)

Oh and I know what you're talking about: all construction projects finish a little late. But that's nothing compared to the satisfaction of doing it yoursel... oh wait, was it my shelf that fell? I knew I should've used these wall plugs...

This was a good addition to the quizzes, something that hasn’t been done. What you have as pliers we would call wire cutters. Where I am from pliers are for grabbing and pulling, they wouldn’t have a blade. I also tried ladder and couldn’t figure out what else to call it.

"Wire cutters" is now accepted since one of the 3 tools on the picture has blades.

Concerning the ****ladder to guess, it is different from a classic ladder. The one on the picture has an inverted V shape with a platform on top. Classic rigid ladders do not have these features.

Maybe accept "caulk gun" for caulking gun. After caulk gun wasn't accepted, I was at a loss, and ended up trying things like "caulk thingy" and "caulk squeezer."

Nice quiz! I didn't know that was also called a trowel. I always knew them as like miniature spade, but I guess there are multiple types.

Maybe you could accept bowsaw for hacksaw, because although they are technically different, they can look quite similar.

Thanks for the suggestion and the kind comment. Bowsaw is now accepted.
