CSS 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 buildup 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.

Proper tool selection


A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Tools range from atraditional metal
cutting part of a machine to an element of a computer program thatactivates 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 thescope of work to be
accomplished, second, plan for the scope taking into account thesequence 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 andinstructions for that specific tool.
3. When obtaining the tool all the associated tooling and consumable parts, asrecommended by the
manufacturer, must be included. In addition, relatedconsumable parts must also be selected and used

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

• 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
