Proper tool selection

A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Tools range from a traditional metal cutting part
of a machine to an element of a computer program that activates and controls a particular function.
Preparing for the task to be undertaken includes proper tool selection.
1. How do you select the best tool for the job? First, know and understand in detail the scope of work to be
accomplished, second, plan for the scope taking into account the sequence of tasks.

2. Selecting the best tool for each task requires training in the proper use of the tools, field experience in their
safe use, and following the manufacturer’s guidance and instructions for that specific tool.

3. When obtaining the tool all the associated tooling and consumable parts, as recommended by the
manufacturer, must be included. In addition, related consumable parts must also be selected and used
according to their manufacturer’s instructions.

Safe Use of tools


Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not all tools come with detailed
instructions, but there are those that do spell out the safety ―Do’s and Don’ts‖ for your safety. If there are
set-up/use options, operator judgment must always be based on what is the safest way to use the tool.

Environmental Safety and Health Program requires the following:

• All tools be kept in good condition with regular maintenance


• The right tool be used for the job
• Each tool be examined before use AND damaged or defective tools NOT to be used
• Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions
• The right protective equipment for the tool and activity be used
HARDWARE TOOLS
To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should contain all of the necessary tools.
As you gain experience, you will learn which tools to have available for different types of jobs. Hardware tools
are grouped into these four categories:

 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools


 Hand tools
 Cleaning tools
 Diagnostic tools
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools
Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric, and etc. The
friction of moving air alone will charge suspended particles and cause the build-up of static electrical charges
on people and objects in the environment. Grounded antistatic work mats used with antistatic wrist straps
provide the most basic means for the controlled discharge of electrostatic electricity. Examples of ESD Tools:
Hand Tools
A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system using only hands. The hand
tools can be manually used employing force, or electrically powered, using electrical current. Examples of
Hand Tools:
Cleaning Tools
Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or repairing computers. Using these tools ensures
that computer components are not damaged during cleaning. Examples:

Diagnostic Tools
Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of hardware and operating system update,
but that doesn't mean they're problem-free. Here's the most popular tools for diagnosing your computer problems:
