This heading covers tools which incorporate an electric motor, a compressed air motor (or compressed air operated piston), an internal combustion motor or any other motor (e.g., small hydraulic turbine); the compressed air motor is generally operated by an external source of compressed air, and in the case of the internal combustion motor the ignition batteries are sometimes separate. In pneumatic tools the action of the compressed air is sometimes supplemented by hydraulic connections.
The heading covers such tools only if for working in the hand. The expression "tools for working in the hand" means tools designed to be held in the hand during use, and also heavier tools (such as earth rammers) which are portable, that is, which can be lifted and moved by hand by the user, in particular while work is in progress, and which are also designed to be controlled and directed by hand during operation. To obviate the fatigue of taking their full weight during operation they may be used with auxiliary supporting devices (e.g., tripods, jacklegs, overhead lifting tackle).
However, certain tools for working in the hand of this heading have fittings permitting them to be temporarily fixed to a support. They remain classified here, together with the support if it is presented therewith, provided the tools are essentially "for working in the hand" as defined above.
Some of the tools covered by this heading may be fitted with auxiliary devices (e.g., a fanwheel and its dust-bag to remove and collect dust during working).
The heading excludes tools which, because of their weight, size, etc., obviously cannot be used in the hand as described above. It also excludes tools (whether or not portable) fitted with a base plate or other device for fixing to the wall, bench, floor, etc., those with provisions for running on rails (e.g., machines for slotting or drilling railway sleepers) and walk-behind or similar hand-directed machines on wheels, e.g., floor grinding machines, for concrete, marble, or wood, etc.
The heading further excludes combinations consisting of a tool holder with one or more tools, and a separate spark-ignition internal combustion piston engine or a separate electric motor with a flexible shaft; the tool holder is classified in heading 84.66, the motor with its flexible shaft in heading 84.07 or 85.01, as the case may be, and the tools in their own appropriate headings.
The tools of this heading include tools for working various materials and are used in various industries.
Subject to the conditions above, the tools of this heading include, inter alia :(1) Drilling, tapping or reaming machines. (2) Boring machines, rock drills and the like. (3) Wrenches, screwdrivers, nut setters. (4) Planing, gauging, surfacing or similar appliances. (5) Filing machines, grinders, sanders, polishers and the like. (6) Wire brush machines. (7) Circular saws, chain saws and the like. (8) Hammers of various types, such as chipping hammers, de-scaling hammers, caulking hammers, riveting hammers, concrete breakers. (9) Squeeze-type riveters; rivet busters and other chisel-operated appliances. (10) Sheet metal cutters (shear type or nibbler type). (11) Sand rammers, de-coring tools for removing cores from castings, mould vibrators for foundries. (12) Earth compacting rammers for road building or maintenance. (13) Automatic spades. (14) Concrete vibrators to facilitate the flow and setting of concrete. (15) Hedge trimmers. (16) Hydraulically driven boiler type de-scalers. (17) Compressed air type greasing pistols for garages, etc. (18) Portable machines for trimming lawns, cutting grass in corners, along walls, borders or under bushes, for example. Such machines have a self-contained motor in a light metal frame and a cutting device usually consisting of a thin nylon thread. (19) Portable brush-cutters with a self-contained motor, a drive shaft (rigid or flexible) and a tool holder, presented together with various interchangeable cutting tools for mounting in the tool holder. (20) Cutters for cutting textiles in the ready-made clothing industry. (21) Engraving tools. (22) Electric hand scissors, comprising a fixed cutter blade and a mobile cutter blade operated by a built-in electrical motor, for use in dressmakers' and milliners' workrooms, households, etc.
