Choose a hand tool (4)
I believe the answer is:
pick
This clue is a double definition.
'choose' is the first definition.
(I know that pick is a more specific form of choose)
'a hand tool' is the second definition.
(I know that pick is a type of hand tool)
(Other definitions for pick that I've seen before include "Choose, select" , "Hero of a Dickens novel" , "flower" , "Eat very little" , "Choose - ground-breaking instrument" .)
