Before the invention of farm machines, an average farm was small in size. It produced only enough food for the farm family, with perhaps a little left over to sell. Farmers had to do most of their work with hand tools, such as shears, a hoe, and a spade. What are those tools used for ? Shears are used for cutting. A hoe is a tool with a long handle, used for loosening the soil and cutting out small weeds. A spade is used for digging up the field. Farmers are sometimes also carpenters, so they a hammer, a screwdriver, pliers, a knife, and an axe for chopping woods or chopping a branch of a tree.
