Which items are listed as examples of layout tools?

• A. EX levels, measuring tapes, squares
• B. Torque wrench, screwdrivers
• C. Hammers, chisels
• D. Levels, protractors

Answer: (A)

Layout tools are used to transfer measurements and establish lines on the work surface before cutting or assembling. Levels verify horizontal or vertical alignment, measuring tapes give exact distances, and squares ensure true right angles for corners and edges. This trio represents the standard layout toolkit because it directly supports marking layout lines and validating geometry. The other options mix tools for fastening or shaping rather than laying out, so they don’t fit the core idea of layout tasks as well.
