I’m honestly surprised that nut and bolt isn’t over 98%.

That was my fault, at least in part. I didn't pay very much attention and just spam-clicked random guesses on my first try since I didn't recognize the first few.

I enjoyed this! Thank you - nominated. "Vise" foxed me though - it seems to be an America-only spelling which I wasn't aware of. I don't know if you would be interested in putting it as "vise/vice" or something? Might make it look a bit ugly though to be fair.

Thanks, that was fun! I've used most of these. I would have called the dovetail saw a backsaw, because that's what my shop teacher Mr. Parker called it in 1970. The "manual drill" is a name I've never heard. I have one of these, and I use it all the time--no fussing with electrical cords! My dad called it a brace and bit, and that's what I call it, too.

Interesting! Are you British by any chance? Or maybe East Coast USA?
