only enough food for the farm family, with perhaps a little left over to sell. Farmers had to do
most of their work with hand tools, such as shears, a hoe, and a spade. What are those tools
used for ? Shears are used for cutting. A hoe is a tool with a long handle, used for loosening
the soil and cutting out small weeds. A spade is used for digging up the field. Farmers are
sometimes also carpenters, so they a hammer, a screwdriver, pliers, a knife, and an axe for
chopping woods or chopping a branch of a tree.
