Tools, Equipment and Devices for Repairing

Audio Products and System
Basic Hand Tools
Driving Tools
Screw Driver is a device specifically designed to insert and tighten, or to loosen

and remove screws. The screwdriver comprises a head or tip which engages with
a screw, a mechanism to apply torque by rotating the tip, and some way to
position and support the screwdriver. A typical hand screwdriver comprises an
approximately cylindrical handle of a size and shape to be held by a human
hand, and an axial shaft fixed to the handle, the tip of which is shaped to fit a
particular type of screw. The handle and shaft allow the screwdriver to be
positioned and supported and to apply torque when rotated.
Handle
Head or Tip
Slotted Screw Driver is used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.
Phillips Screw Driver is used to drive or fasten positive slotted screws. It is a

screw driver that could take greater torque and could provide tighter fastenings.
10
Torx Screw Driver Set is used to drive or fasten six pointed star screws. In
modern electrical appliances, they use screws with heads of non-standard
shape to prevent users of the device from easily disassembling them.
Hex (Allen Wrench) is used to drive or fasten hexagonal screws. The head has
hexagonal hole turned by an Allen key. An Allen key is a hexagonal shaped
wrench bended in letter-L. The Allen key was invented by an American, Gilbert
F. Heublein.
Jeweler's Screwdriver Set This is a set of small screw drivers composed of

slotted and Philips screw drivers.
11
Socket Wrench Is a type of wrench or tightening tool that uses separate,

removable sockets to fit many different sizes of fittings and fasteners, most
commonly nuts and bolts. It generally includes a ratcheting mechanism that
allows the nut to be tightened or loosened with a continuous motion, rather
than requiring that the wrench be removed and refitted after each turn.
Typically, a lever behind the socket switches the wrench between tightening and
loosening modes. The sockets attach to the ratchet through a square fitting that
locks onto them and come in four common sizes: 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch,
and 3/4 inch.
12
Soldering Tools
Soldering Iron is a device for applying heat to melt solder for attaching two
metal parts. A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated
handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing a current, supplied
through an electrical cord, through a heating element. For electrical work, wires
are usually soldered to printed circuit boards, other wires, or small terminals. A
low-power iron (15-30 Watts) is suitable for this work.
Some soldering irons have interchangeable tips for different types of work. Fine
round or chisel tips are typically used for electronics work. A new tip needs to be
coated, heated, and then covered with solder before its first use. This procedure
is called "tinning". The tinning forms a liquid layer which facilitates the transfer
of heat to the work piece. A dirty tip does not transfer heat well. The tip needs to
be kept coated with a shiny layer of solder by occasional wiping and applying
solder directly to the tip.
Soldering Tool Stand is a place of the soldering iron to keep them away from
flammable materials. The stand often comes with a sponge and flux pot for
cleaning the tip.
13
Desoldering Sucker is used to remove or to solder components from a circuit

for the propose of troubleshooting, repairing and removing components.
Splicing Tools
Long Nose is used for holding, bending and stretching the lead of electronics
component or connecting wire.
Side Cutters are wire-cutting pliers. Though they are not used to grab or turn
anything, they are useful to cut wire.
Wire Stripper is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire cutters.
The addition of a center notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without
cutting the wire. This type of wire stripper is used by rotating it around the
14
insulation while applying pressure in order to make a cut around the insulation.
Since the insulation is not bonded to the wire, it then pulls easily off the end.
Notch
Boring Tools
12V Mini-Drill is used to bore or drill hole in the printed circuit board (pcb).
Portable Electric Drill is used for boring hole/s in the plastics chassis or metal
chassis with the used of drill bits.
15
Metal Files are hand tool used to shape metals by grinding. A file series of
sharp, parallel ridges or teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end
to which a handle can be fitted.
Flat Files are parallel in width and tapered in thickness They are used for flat
surfaces and edges.
Round File also called rat-tail files is gradually tapered and is used for many
tasks that require a round tool, such as enlarging round holes or cutting a
scalloped edge.
Narrow Pointed
Tang
Round File
Flat File
Cutting Tools - are used for cutting materials.
Utility Knife is a common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts for a
variety of purposes.
Hacksaw is a saw for cutting metal. Some of them have pistol grips which keep
the hacksaw firm and easy to grip. The small hand-held hacksaws consist of a
16
metal arch with a handle that fits around a narrow, rigid blade. The blade has
many small saw teeth along one side. It can either be attached such that the
teeth face away from the handle, resulting in sawing action by pushing. On the
push stroke, the arch will be bent a little, releasing the tension on the blade.
The blade is normally quite brittle, so care needs to be taken to prevent brittle
fracture of the blade.
Pistol Grip
Blade
Handle
Auxiliary Tools
Ball-peen Hammer is a type of hammer used in metalworking. The ball-peen
hammer remains useful for many tasks such as tapping punches and chisels.
The original function of the hammer was to "peen" riveted or welded material so
that it will exhibit the same elastic behavior as the surrounding material.
Specifically, striking the metal imparts a stress at the point of impact which
results in strain-hardening of that area. Strain hardening raises the elastic limit
of a material into the plastic range without affecting its ultimate strength. A
strain-hardened material will not deform under the same low stresses as a nonhardened material. Most metals can be "worked" by such methods until they
lose all of their ductile characteristics and become strong but brittle
17
Magnifying Glass with a convex lens is used to magnify an object. The lens is
usually mounted in a frame with a handle (see image). Roger Bacon is the
original inventor of the magnifying glass. A magnifying glass works by creating a
magnified virtual image of an object behind the lens. The distance between the
lens and the object must be shorter than the focal length of the lens for this to
occur. Otherwise, the image appears smaller and inverted, and can be used to
project images onto surfaces. The framed lens may be mounted on a stand,
keeping the lens at the right distance from the table, and therefore at the right
distance from the object on the table. The latter applies if the object is small
and also if the height is adjustable. Some magnifying glasses are foldable with
built-in light.
Paint Brush made of bristles set in handle is used for cleaning dirty parts of a
circuit or an object.
18
Advance Electronic Equipment

Power Supply
It is a reference to a source of electrical power. A device or system that
supplies electrical or other types of energy to an output load or group of loads is
called a power supply unit or PSU.
Signal Generator
It is also known variously as a test signal generator, function generator,
tone generator, arbitrary waveform generator, or frequency generator is an

electronic device that generates repeating electronic signals (in either the analog
or digital domains). It is generally used in designing, testing, troubleshooting,
and repairing electronic or electro-acoustic devices; though they often have
artistic uses as well.
19
Multimeter
It is known as a multi-tester or a volt/ohm meter or VOM.It is an
electronic measuring instrument that combines several functions in one unit. A

standard multimeter may include features such as the ability to measure
voltage, current and resistance. There are two categories of multimeters; analog
multimeters and digital multimeters (often abbreviated DMM.) A multimeter can
be a hand-held device useful for basic fault finding and field service work or a
bench instrument which can measure to a very high degree of accuracy. They
can be used to troubleshoot electrical problems in a wide array of industrial and
household devices such as batteries, motor controls, appliances, power
supplies, and wiring systems.
Analog Tester
Digital Tester
Digital Multimeter (DMM)

Modern multimeters are often digital due to their accuracy, durability and
extra features. In a DMM the signal under test is converted to a voltage and an
amplifier with an electronically controlled gain preconditions the signal. It
displays the quantity measured as a number, which prevents parallax errors.
20
Digital Multimeter
Oscilloscope
An oscilloscope (sometimes abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray oscilloscope,
or commonly just scope or O-scope) is a type of electronic test equipment that
allows signal voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one
or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of
time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis).
Analog type
An extra feature available in some analogue scopes is called 'storage'. This
feature allows the trace pattern that normally decays in a fraction of a second to
remain on the screen for several minutes or longer. An electrical circuit can then
be deliberately activated to store and to erase the trace on the screen.
Analog (Storage Type) Oscilloscope
Digital
The digital storage oscilloscope, or DSO for short, is now the preferred
type for most industrial applications, although simple analogue CROs are still
used by hobbyists. It replaces the unreliable storage method used in analogue
21
storage scopes with digital memory, which can store data as long as required
without degradation.
Digital Oscilloscope
Frequency Counter
A frequency counter is an electronic instrument, or component of one that
is used for measuring frequency.
