   The colored straws in the tray contain cartridges that are loaded singly into the tool. Also visible are 75 mm hardened steel nails with 8 mm heads. Powder actuated tools can be variously classified: Direct acting (the charge acts directly on the head of the nail or high velocity), or indirect (using an intermediate piston or low velocity)

9. Tap and die - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_and_die

   A die cuts an external thread on cylindrical material, such as a rod, which creates a male threaded piece that functions like a bolt. Dies are generally made in two styles: solid and adjustable. An adjustable die may be adjusted either by an integrated screw or by a set of screws set in to the die holder (termed a "die stock").
