Workshop
A workshop is a room or an area inside a building that includes tools or machinery. In short, all the hardware that are required for the manufacture or repair of (mostly) technical products. In principle, there are three categories of tools:
Very simple, but handy tools that are used for multi-purpose work. They're not complicated and for everybody easy to use.
Mostly driven by electronic power, they ease work for DIY and professional crafts work. They are more powerful, but still for mobile use.
These are bigger stationary machines used in workshops. Here you see a lathe, a milling machine and a coloumn drill.

Work Desk
For the most of the time a technician works at his work desk. That’s a quite solid table, where he can store his tools in the drawers, fix workpieces by a vice, lay down objects onto the desktop, can lock-up parts inside lockers or collect small parts in utility boxes or store larger parts in shelves.

Hand Tools
For the most of technical standard work, technicians use hand tools. They are very applicable, easy to handle and can be carried away to any place where to be used. You can either store them in a tool box or they find their place in drawers of a workbench.
Power Tools
A power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism other than the solely manual labor used with hand tools. The most common types of power tools use electric motors.
