4. Rib saw
A rib saw is a saw that is specially designed for making rib cuts.
The cutting edge of each tooth has a flat front edge and it is
not angled forward or backward. This design allows each tooth
to act like a chisel (rather than being knife-like, as with
a crosscut saw), preventing the saw from following grain lines,
which could curve the path of the saw. By acting like a chisel,
the saw can more easily cut across deviating grain lines, which is
necessary if a straight cut is to be achieved.

5. Jigsaw
A jigsaw is a tool used for cutting arbitrary curves, such
as stenciled designs or other custom shapes, into a piece
of wood, metal, or other material. It can be used in a
moreartistic fashion than other saws, which typically cut in
straight lines only. In this way, it is similar to the rasp and
the chisel. Although a jigsaw can be used to cut arbitrary
patterns, making a straight cut is more difficult.

7. Pincers
Pincers are a hand tool used in many situations where
a mechanical advantage is required to pinch, cut or pull an
object. Pincers are primarily used for removing objects out of a
material that they have been previously applied to. Pincers,
often red-hot, have been used as an instrument
of torture since ancient Roman times or earlier.
