Kitchen utensil used to finely and tenderly beat fairly tough meat. It can be made entirely of wood and then resembles the laundry beater and the cork driver. It can also be metal; this heavier model (approx. 700-1200 gr) has a square blade that is flat at the bottom and has two sharp edges for trimming the meat after crushing. It can be made entirely of metal or stick in a wooden handle. See also the meat tenderizer and steak greith. [MOT]

Hand tool for mixing, shoveling and spreading mortar over stones, walls, floors, ceilings, etc. It is also used to chop off stones and to collect the falling mortar during grouting. It consists of a rounded or pointed metal blade attached to a short straight handle with a bent stem.

A melting pot or crucible is a container in which metal is melted for soldering or casting. To take it out of the fire, you use crucible tongs. In finer professions with small amounts of metal, such as the goldsmith and prosthetist, it is a small metal fireproof bowl (approx. 4-7 cm diameter) with or without legs, possibly with a handle and a pouring spout. Jewelers use a melting ladle to melt wax. In metal foundries, larger models of crucibles with a handle up to 1.5 meters or models without a handle are used, which are placed in a large foundry ladle and held by two people. [MOT]

It is a hand tool of approx. 1 - 1.2 kg with usually a curved handle (approx. 40 cm), the edge of which (approx. 6 cm; the riveted iron is wider: approx. 9 cm) diagonally opposite the stem. The iron is made of one or two pieces. In the first case it is asymmetrical at the top and sometimes ends opposite the blade in a square hammer. In the other case, a rectangular blade is riveted to a U-shaped piece. The latter serves as an eye. [MOT]
