The ore pick (1) is a hand tool used by dockworkers when unloading a ship's hold or moving bulk cargo such as ores. Compared to various picks, the metal is remarkably long (approx. 60-95 cm) in relation to the wooden handle (approx. 60-75 cm), which is almost at right angles connected in an eye. The pick narrows to a point, which is hammered into the ore to break it free for further scooping. [MOT] (1) The proper name in English is yet unknown. The tool was certainly used by dockers in the port of Antwerp (EECKELAERT: 417).

Nuts can be tightened or loosened with nut pliers. The jaws are adapted to the shape of the nut. They grab the nut on four of the six faces. Unlike wrenches, the jaws don't move parallel. Sometimes they are ribbed on the inside for a better grip and the opening can be fixed with a set screw. The pliers cannot then be closed further than the screw allows, so that excessive pressure cannot be exerted on the side surfaces of the nut and thereby damage them. See also combination pliers.
