Wear point reference · 42 listings

The part that goes first, and what the listing says about it

This reference files forty-two tool listings under the part each would need to describe for anyone to know what gets replaced: the battery, the bit tip, the blade edge, the drive, the nozzle and filter, or the claw. Then it counts what the listings actually say.

The Wear Table

Each cell is the number of listings in a department that name a part. A row opens the department; a column opens the part.

Listings naming each wear point, by department. None is written out where no listing names the part.

Silence band

Forty-one of forty-two listings say nothing about replacing the part that wears.

Seven of them do not name any of the six parts at all. Silence is silence: it is not a statement that a part lasts, and it is not a property of the tool.

Wear Point Check

A department and a listing are chosen here, and the listing’s six teeth are drawn from what it states.

Category

Listing in Tool Sets

Rules this check follows

  • A tooth is sharp when the listing, as supplied to this site, names that part or what it is made of.
  • A tooth is blunt when the listing does not name that part.
  • A tooth gets a yellow base when the listing states that parts can be replaced; the base sits under the parts the listing names.
  • A wear point is switched off for a category when no listing filed in that category names it, and the reason is printed beside it.
  • The matching count is the number of listings in the same category whose sharp teeth and replacement statement are exactly the same as this one, this listing included.

Result

Amazon Basics 173-Piece General Household Hand Tool Set

0 of 6 teeth sharp

  • Battery: not named
  • Bit tip: not named
  • Blade edge: switched off — no listing filed in Tool Sets names a blade edge
  • Chuck and drive: not named
  • Nozzle and filter: switched off — no listing filed in Tool Sets names a nozzle and filter
  • Claw and tine: switched off — no listing filed in Tool Sets names a claw and tine

4 of 8 listings in Tool Sets name exactly these wear points and say the same about replacement.

This listing says nothing about replacing a part.

  • A listing that is silent on a part has not said that the part does not wear.
  • This site does not estimate how long anything lasts, and it has measured nothing.
  • Replacement and servicing are set by the manufacturer’s instructions, not by this site.

Kinds of tool, and the part each hangs on

Drive Check

What drives the tool

A rechargeable battery: 9 of the catalog’s listings

Figures printed by listings driven by a rechargeable battery
FigureListings printing it
a voltage8
a capacity in amp hoursThe figure this check looks for1
a torque figure2
a coverage areanone
a flow figurenone
a water pressurenone

Listings printing a capacity in amp hours: 1 of 9.

Reading the drive from category names instead would give 7 listings. This check does not do that.

The formula

  • A listing counts toward a drive when its own drive field reads that drive.
  • The category a listing is filed in is not used to decide its drive; a battery screwdriver filed among hand sets counts as a battery tool.
  • A figure counts as printed only when the listing states it with a number; a word such as high-pressure without a number does not count.
  • The figure this check looks for is amp hours for a rechargeable battery and a water pressure for a water supply. For your hand there is no such figure, and the check says so.

What this catalog is

It holds forty-two listings in six departments and is called power tools and garden tools. The workshop half, twenty-three listings, includes every battery tool: nine of them.

The garden half contains no powered device. Of its nineteen weeder, sprinkler and pruner listings, the count stating a battery or a voltage is none.

No sprinkler listing prints a water pressure. Of the eight, three print a coverage area and the count printing a pressure is none.

Four listings are filed outside their kind, and they stay where they were filed, with a note on each card:

Six plain answers

Does a listing that says nothing about a part mean the part lasts?
No. Silence is only silence. Forty-one of the forty-two listings say nothing about replacement, and this site reads nothing into that.
How many listings state that a part can be replaced?
One: the Felco F2 pruning shears. The listing does not say which parts, and this site does not guess.
Is any garden tool in this catalog powered?
No. Weeder, sprinkler and pruner listings stating a battery or a voltage: none of nineteen. Two sprinkler listings print the word motor without naming a battery, a voltage or a cord.
Which sprinkler listings print a water pressure?
None of them. Three print a coverage area in square feet, and the Orbit tripod listing prints the word pressure with no number.
Are drill voltages compared across brands here?
No. Each listing’s voltage is reported as printed. It is not converted, and a brand’s figure is not ranked against another brand’s.
Why do some listings sit in the wrong department?
That is where the catalog files them. Four listings sit outside their kind, and each keeps its place with a note on its card.
