sculele

Sculele is the Romanian term for tools or implements used to perform tasks, ranging from simple hand tools to powered equipment. The word encompasses a broad set of instruments designed to shape, join, measure, cut, or fasten materials in artisanal, industrial, and domestic work. In Romanian usage, scule (plural) and sculele (definite form) refer to tools in general or to a specific collection of tools.

Tools are commonly grouped by function. Hand tools include hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, chisels, and wrenches. Cutting and shaping tools cover blades, saws, planes, files, and rasps. Measuring and marking tools consist of rulers, squares, calipers, levels, and marking gauges. Fastening tools include nail and staple guns, riveters, and torque wrenches. Power tools, such as drills, grinders, sanders, and routers, extend manual capabilities and efficiency. Specialized tools serve particular trades such as woodworking, metalworking, electrical work, and automotive repair.

Materials and construction vary by purpose. Tools are typically made from steel or alloy with hardened surfaces, sometimes using carbide, ceramic, or composite components. Handles may be wood, plastic, or composite. Maintenance—keeping blades sharp, lubricating moving parts, cleaning, and proper storage—extends tool life and safety.

Sculele are essential across many sectors, from woodworking and construction to metalworking and maintenance. Proper selection, use, and maintenance of tools contribute to quality work and workplace safety, with professional trades often relying on standardized tool sets and protective practices.
