Using our Equipment

There is a large and growing variety of equipment and tools; some are safe to use, some can be dangerous or are expensive and need training before use. We have divided all the tools below into Tool Classes. Make sure you understand which class a tool is in before you attempt to use it, and read the associated wiki page.

The right tool for the job has some notes on what tools to use for various tasks.

Smaller equipment is listed on the Things and stuff page.
