is a set of small screw drivers composed

of slotted and Phillips screwdrivers.
Soldering
Tools
Soldering Iron
is a device that supplies the
heat to melt solder in
attaching two metal parts. It
consists of a tip, which you
apply to the metal parts you
want to solder together, and
an insulated handle so that
you can hold the iron.
Soldering Tool Stand
is a place where the soldering
iron is placed during usage.
This will keep the soldering
iron away from flammable
materials. The stand often
comes with a sponge used in
cleaning the tip of the
soldering iron.
 Desoldering Tool

troubleshooting and repair purposes
Splicing
Tools
Long Nose is used for holding, bending and
stretching the lead of electronic component or
connecting wires
Side Cutter is a
wire-cutting pliers,
though they are not
used to grab or
turn anything, but
are used to cut
wires
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
Boring
Tools
12V Mini-Drill is
used to bore or drill
holes in the printed
circuit board (PCB)
with sizes from 1/32”
– 1/16”.
Portable Electric Drill
is used for boring
hole(s) in plastic or
metal chassis with the
used of drill bits having
sizes from 1/6” to
approximately 1/4”
Metal Files - These are hand tools having a 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 File is parallel in width and tapered in thickness; they are used for flat
surfaces and edges.
● Half Round File is tapered in width and thickness, coming to a point, and is
narrower than a standard half round and used for filing inside of rings.
● Round File is also called rat-tail file which is gradually tapered and used for many
tasks that require a round tool, such as enlarging round holes or cutting a scalloped
edge
Cutting

Utility Knife is a common tool used in
cutting various trades and crafts for a variety

 Hacksaw is used for
cutting metals. Some

held hacksaws consist
of a metal arch with a
handle that fits around a
narrow, rigid blade
Auxiliary
Tools
Magnifying Glass is a convex
lens which is used to produce
a magnified image of an
object. The lens is usually
mounted on a frame with a
handle. Roger Bacon is the
original inventor of the
magnifying glass. A
magnifying glass
works by creating a magnified
virtual image of an object.

Electronic
Equipment
Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter is
an equipment that
combines three functions:
as a voltmeter that
measures both ac and dc
voltages; an ohmmeter that
measures resistance; and
milliammeter that
measures small amount of
dc current.
An oscilloscope (commonly
abbreviated CRO, for cathode-
ray oscilloscope, or scope) is a
piece 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).
A signal generator is a device which
produces simple waveforms.

To avoid accidents in the workplace due to incorrect use of hand tools, it
is a must that you understand the proper use of these tools. Study and
practice proper use and maintenance of tools to prolong their life span and
of course to avoid accidents due to improper or misuse of such tools.
The use of safety hand tools should be a key component of most
school safety programs. An understanding of the hand tools intended use
and environment, combined with proper tool selection, maintenance and
storage, will greatly reduce the risk of harmful accidents.
The following are guidelines for maintaining and storing tools.
● Keep hand tools clean and free from ferrous or other contaminants.
● Do not use hand tools in direct contact with acetylene, due to the
possible formation of explosive acetylides, especially in the presence of
moisture.
● During normal use, all pliers and screwdrivers will progressively develop
some damage to the striking faces of screwdrivers or the cutting edge and
striking end of pliers. As part of the normal operating and safety procedures,
these tools should be returned to the workshop, as with steel tools, to have
the faces and heads redressed. This is essential to prevent eye damage
resulting from chips detaching from the item during use.
● Do not use hand tools fitted with wooden handles in places where the
handles may dry out and shrink. This will increase the risk of the handle
breaking or the head becoming loose.
● Tools are designed for specific use. As with any tool. In addition to the
probability that the tool will be damaged, this is a dangerous practice for the
safety of the operator.
● The accepted standards of safety and maintenance for common steel
hand tools must also be adopted with non-sparking hand tools, in addition to
any specific recommendations resulting from the alloys used.
● When sharpening hand tools, follow normal safety procedures, such as
the provision of eye and face protection, adequate extraction and dust
collecting facilities.
Specifically, some tools require special care and maintenance due to their features and
frequent use in any electronics or electrical job. Additional care and maintenance must
be observed to the following:
❖ Soldering iron
➢ Always clean the tip before and after using.
➢ Do not wash the tip just to speed up its cooling process after using it. It might damage
the heating element and corrode the tip.
❖ Soldering gun
➢ Be sure to tighten the two nuts holding the tip before using it to have maximum heat
transfer to its tip.
➢ Never use a soldering gun in mass production assembly. It might be overheated and
will consume more power compared to a soldering iron.
❖ Desoldering tool
➢ Keep it in good condition by cleaning its inside and apply a small amount of oil
regularly.
➢ Avoid direct contact of the soldering iron‟s tip to the tip of the desoldering tool when
doing desoldering work.
❖ Electric drills
➢ Before using a drill, be sure to tighten the chuck jaw and secure the drill bit properly.
The materials to be bored and the drill bit must be at 90 degrees angle to achieve
efficient boring operation.
As a reminder, a good technician should always remember that “prevention is
better than cure” to avoid accidents that might cause damage to tools,
instruments, or even inflict injuries to himself while performing electronic jobs.
Accidents can be prevented by following the reminders listed below:
● Be sure you are physically and mentally fit when working with electrical or
electronic circuits.
● Use only standard tools and instruments in performing any electronic job.
● Always use the right tool for the right job.
● Do not attempt to use tools or instruments you are not familiar with. Ask
the assistance of your teacher or a person in authority in operating such
unfamiliar electronic gadgets.
● Keep all tools and instruments in a safe place like tool box or tool cabinet
to avoid accidents and easy access when these tools are needed for use.
● If accidents happen, report immediately to your teacher.
● Keep all tools and instruments in good condition by following the steps of
proper care and maintenance of electronic tools and instruments.
● Your working area must be kept clean, in order, and free from any object
that might hamper your work.
● Keep flammable substances and materials away from your
working area by keeping them in a safe place intended for them.
● If possible, work with only one hand while working in a “live”
circuit.
● Keep yourself insulated from earth ground when working on
power line circuits, since one side of the line is connected to the
earth.
● When your work is done, clean your working table and return
all tools and instruments in their proper places.
● Clean tools and equipment work more efficiently. At the end
of each working day clean the tools and equipment you used
and check them for any damage. If you note damage, tag the
tool as faulty and organize a repair or replacement.
● Electrical current can travel over oily or greasy surfaces.
Keep electrical power hand tools free from dust and dirt and
make sure they are free of oil and grease.
