Top 100 Most Common Tools and Hardware

Saturday, July 18, 2026

A past Centumth puzzle. Play it on this page with five guesses, or read the full Top 100 ranking below.

Time to check the workbench! For this list, we're looking for the most common hand tools, power tools, workshop gear, and basic hardware fasteners (like screws, nuts, and nails) you'd find in a typical home garage or hardware store.

This list was researched and ranked by hand for Centumth. Entries near #1 are the names almost everyone thinks of first. Entries near #100 are true, a little obscure, and still fair if you think sideways. Sources below are the starting point — the final order can include small editorial calls so the daily puzzle stays balanced.

You can play this archive puzzle with five guesses, or reveal the complete ranking if you came here looking for the list. Revealing locks this puzzle — you won’t be able to play it afterward.
