This electric tool operates similarly to a pickaxe, though every block takes exactly one click to drill out. Warning: Be careful where you place these source blocks! Since you're placing lava source blocks, lava will flow out of them and may trap or burn you depending on where you are. Then clicking anywhere where there isn't a lava source block will place them again. To use, simply equip and click on lava source blocks (they will highlight in black).

The lava can works similarly to the bucket tool and the water can, but instead of carrying water, it can carry lava source blocks (the ones that aren't animated), up to 8 at a time. While it is electric, and so requires charging, to use it one only needs to equip it. This electric tool illumates the area in front of the player.

Note: If you can't find the drops from using the chainsaw, dig around as they can be buried under neighbouring terrain blocks. It has enough charge to cut down about 5 trees before running out of power. Just click on any part of a tree, and the wood and leaves of that tree at that point and above will be cut and dropped on the ground as blocks. This electric tool speeds up harvesting of wood by allowing the harvesting of an entire tree in a single click. Higher levels of electric tools are more powerful and contain more charge so they work longer.

Electric tools require charging in Battery Boxes (of any voltage) and will not be destroyed when they reach 0 charge. Manual tools can be regenerated by using the Tool Workshop, so that valuable tools, such as mese or diamond tools can be preserved. Manual tools work similarly to the manual tools in minetest, they have limited durability that is reduced during use (they disappear after they hit 0 durability). Both sets of tools are unstackable in the inventory. Tools in Technic fall into two categories: manual and electric.
