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.
ANTI-STATIC
WRIST STRAP
used to prevent ESD
damage to computer
equipment.
ANTI-STATIC
MAT
used to stand on or
place hardware on to
prevent static
electricity from
building up.
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.
FLAT HEAD
SCREWDRIVER
used to loosen or
tighten slotted
screws.
PHILIPS HEAD
SCREWDRIVER
used to loosen or
tighten crosshead
screws.
TORX
SCREWDRIVER
used to loosen or
tighten screws that
have a star-like
depression on the
top, a feature that is
mainly found on
laptop.
HEX DRIVER
sometimes called a
nut driver, is used to
tighten nuts in the
same way that a
screwdriver tightens
screws.
NEEDLE-NOSE

WIRE CUTTER
used to strip and cut
wires.
TWEEZERS
used to manipulate
small parts.
PART
RETRIEVER
used to retrieve
parts from location
that are to small for
your hand to fit.
FLASHLIGHT
used to light up areas
that you cannot see
well.
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.
LINT-FREE
CLOTH
used to clean
different computer
components without
scratching or leaving
debris.
COMPRESSED
AIR
used to blow away
dust and debris from
different computer
parts without
touching the
components.
CABLE TIES
used to bundle
cables neatly inside
and outside of a
computer.
PARTS
ORGANIZER
used to hold screw,
jumpers, fasteners
and other small parts
and prevents them
from getting mixed
together.
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.
MULTIMETER
used to test the
integrity of circuits
and the quality of
electricity in
computer
components.
LOOPBACK
ADAPTER
used to test the
functionality of
computer ports.
