Use Hand Tools

Objectives
•prepare hand tools;
•use appropriate
hand tools and test
equipment; and
•maintain hand tools.
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.
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 the 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
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. Examples of Hand
Tools:
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
plier – used to
hold small parts.
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.
Lint-free
cloth- used to
clean different
computer
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. Here’s the most
popular tools fro diagnosing your
computer problems:
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.
QUIZ
Direction: Write TRUE if the statement
is correct and FALSE if it is wrong.
1. 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 the
specific tool.
2.When obtaining the
tool, all the associated
tooling and consumable
parts, are recommended
by the manufacturer,
must be included.
3. The safe use of a tool
depends on using the tool for
the purpose for which it was
designed and also for other
purposes where it can be used
as substitute where tool is not
available.
4. All tools should
