HARDWARE TOOLS

By: Sir Lau


HARDWARE TOOLS ARE GROUPED INTO
THESE FOUR CATEGORIES

I. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)


tools
II. Hand tools
III. Cleaning tools
IV. Diagnostic tools
I. 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.
EXAMPLE

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.
II. HAND TOOLS

• A hand tool is a device for performing


work on a material or a physical system
using only hands. Hand tools can be
used manually or electrically powered,
using electrical current.
EXAMPLES

Flat Head Screwdriver


• Used to loosen or tighten slotted screws.

Philips Head Screwdriver


• Used to loosen or tighten cross-head 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.
EXAMPLES

Hex Driver
• Sometimes called a nut driver, is used to
tighten nuts in the same way that a
screwdriver tightens screws.

Needle-Nose Pliers
• Used to hold small parts.

Wire Cutter
• Used to strip and cut wires.
EXAMPLES

Tweezers
• Used to manipulate small parts.

Part Retriever
• Used to retrieve parts from location that
is too small for your hand to fit.

Flashlight
• Used to light up areas that you cannot

III. CLEANING TOOLS

• A variety of accurate and


specific tools and products created
and designed in various colors,
materials, mechanisms, shapes,
sizes and styles to clean easily,
effectively and efficiently.
EXAMPLES

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.
EXAMPLES

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

IV. DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

•
• These tools are made to find
problems that may be disrupting
your computer's normal
performance.
EXAMPLES

• 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.

Power Supply Tester


EXAMPLES

LAN Tester
• is a device used for testing the network
connection.
PROPER USE OF ESD TOOLS

Proper Use of Antistatic Wrist Strap


1. Connect the cable to the metal chassis of
the computer.
2. Wrap the strap around your wrist.
3. The connection will keep your body at the
same voltage (potential) as the computer.
4. Attach the wire on the same side of the
equipment as the arm wearing the antistatic
wrist strap to keep the wire out of the way
while you are working.
PROPER USE OF ANTISTATIC MAT

1. Lay the computer on the mat.


2. Connect the computer to the mat
with the cable.
3. Connect the mat to a reliable
electrical ground with its cable.
4. Now, you and the computer are at
ground potential.
PROPER USE OF HAND TOOLS

to the screw.
2. Do not over tighten screws because the threads may
become stripped.

CAUTION: If excessive force is needed to remove or add a


component, something may be wrong.
CAUTION: Magnetized tools should not be used around
electronic devices.
CAUTION: Pencils should not be used inside the computer
PROPER USE OF CLEANING
MATERIALS

To clean computers and


accessories:
1. Use mild cleaning solution and
