Tool used in a daze? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adze

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tool' is the definition.
(adze is a kind of tool)

'in a daze?' is the wordplay.
'daze' anagrams to 'ADZE'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'used' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adze that I've seen before include "Tool used for dressing timber" , "cutter" , "Timber-trimming tool" , "Daze (anag.)" , "One might cut" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
