Tools

Tools are items that the player uses to produce an effect in the world, rather than creating a Block or planting a plant. Some are used to dismantle World tiles, such as Blocks, Walls, or freeing placed items, to convert them into carryable objects. Pickaxes, axes, and hammers can also be used as melee weapons, although they generally offer less damage than actual Weapons of corresponding tiers.

Multi-use Tools
There are a few types of multi-use tools in Terraria, which combine the functions of axes, used to cut down trees, cacti, and giant mushrooms, with either the function of hammers or digging tools:
 * Hammer and Axe: Hamaxes and The Axe add to an axe tool the functions of hammers, allowing them to be used to remove Walls or reshape placed Blocks.
 * Pickaxe and Axe: The Pickaxe Axe, Drax, Shroomite Digging Claw, and Picksaw add to an axe tool the functions of digging tools (pickaxes and drills).

Pickaxes and Drills
Pickaxes are tools that can be used to pick up most blocks. They may also be used to remove grass, and destroy planted tree saplings. Their tier defines the type of blocks that can be mined as well as the number of hits it takes to remove a single block. Drills function the same as Pickaxes.

Axes and Chainsaws
Axes are only used to cut down trees, cacti, and giant mushrooms. Wood and wood-based objects are removed with a pickaxe instead. Chainsaws function the same as regular axes, while Hamaxes function as both Axes and Hammers.

Hammers
Hammers are special tools to create slopes, half-tiles, and break background walls. The Pwnhammer and Hammush are able to, in a hardmode world, break demon altars and bless the world with Cobalt (or Palladium), Mythril (or Orichalcum) and Adamantite (or Titanium).

Hooks
Hooks are tools used to latch the player onto target surfaces.

Fishing Poles
Fishing Poles are used to catch fish.

Keys
Keys are used to open locked chests and one door.

Miscellaneous
For tools which don't fit into the above categories.
