1. MEASURING TOOLS
Pull-push rule. This flexible rule
when extended will support itself,
but may also be used to measure
curved, irregular surfaces. Steel
tape rule blade is usually ½ inch
wide and 72 inches long. The
graduation is sixteenths, except for
the first 6 inches which are
graduated in thirty-seconds of an
inch.
Steel tape- is similar to a steel
tape rule except for its flexible
number of feet that are marked on
the tape. The tape is 3/8-inch-wide
and available in lengths from 25 to
100 feet.
2. CUTTING TOOLS
1. Hacksaw is a tooth cutting tool usually with a solid and adjustable frame. The main
parts are handles, blade, tightening screw and nuts. The tool is mainly used in cutting
metals like plates, pipes, rods, bars, angular, etc. but of minimal thickness, width and
length. Sometimes this tool is used for cutting plastic pipes and other materials that
suit to its purpose.
Frame. It is the main body of the hacksaw which holds the blade. The different
types of frames are the following:
Blade. It is made of thin, high grade steel usually 1.27 mm thick and 30.48cm
long with an inclined row of teeth serving as cutter.
Files are made of high grade steel which are hardened and tempered. Each
file has rows of teeth that form, shape and finish metal by removing small chips
and smoothing rough edges of the metal surface. They differ in length, shape,
cut and coarseness.
Kinds of files:
1. Mill file a single-cut file
used for filing and finishing
brass and bronze.
Cold chisel. A wedge-shaped tool used to shear, cut, and chip metal
Types of cold chisel and their particular functions:
4. Round-nose chisel has a round nose cutting edge for cutting round and semi-
circulargrooves.
3. DRIVING TOOLS
HAMMERS
There are different kinds and sizes of wrenches designed according to uses and
functions.
1. An adjustable wrench has a movable jaw which makes it adjustable to various
sizes of nuts. A heavy type of adjustable wrench is the monkey/pipe wrench.
PIPE WRENCH
ADJUSTABLE WRENCH
2. Oxy acetylene wrench- A type of wrench used for tightening hose and fitting
connection on oxy-acetylene unit.
3. An open-ended wrench is one that is made to fit one size of nut or bolt. This is
the most inexpensive type of wrench that is quite efficient in ordinary situations.
SINGLE-ENDED
DOUBLE-ENDED
SINGLE-ENDED DOUBLE-ENDED
4. Socket wrench is a tool with a usually interchangeable socket to fit over a nut or
bolt.
Screwdriver is hand tool that is designed to turn screws. The blade is made of
steel, attached to one end of a wooden or plastic handle. The other end is flattened
to fit slots in the heads of screws on bolts. The other kinds of screw drivers are
called a Phillips screw driver and helical-ratchet screw driver.
4. HOLDING TOOLS
Clamps are made of different sizes and appearance that are fitted to its
purpose. These devices have been designed to hold work securely which
performing skills through grinding, bending, fitting and cutting of metals.
1. Tool maker clamp is used for holding small parts both at the bench and at the
machine. This tool is also known as a parallel clamp.
2. C-Clamp is an all-purpose 3. Drill Vise- is a sturdy steel vise with
clamp that is generally used for all movable jaw that easily goes back
kinds of work. or forth by raising the handle.
TYPES:
2.SIDE-CUTTING PLIER -used for cutting fine, medium and big wires or cables.
3. LONGNOSE PLIER- is used for cutting and holding fine wires also used in tight
space or small opening where other pliers cannot reach.

What Do You Need To Know?
INTRODUCTION:
There are many ways of identifying hand tools. One of these is to identify them
according to their function. However, awareness of defective and non-defective hand
tools is a primordial concern of workers/welders to be effective in their jobs.
1. Visual inspection:
Defective tools can easily be distinguished from the functional ones through
visual inspection. The physical appearance of tools will describe such characteristics
as dullness, sharpness, dismantled parts, and unevenness of the teeth of the cutting
tools.
2. Functionality:
Another way is to check the quality of the manufactured tools. Is it already
susceptible to wear and tear? Has it already exceeded its service life? Has it passed
the manufacturer’s quality control test?
A few pieces of the hand tools issued in the shop can be subjected for
Condemnation they are no longer serviceable.
Some hand tools issued for years in shops and few pieces of these can be
subjected for condemnation.
3. Performance:
Performance of hand tools is determined not only during the actual use but also
after use to find out whether the hand tools are still worth using.
4. Service span:
Hand tools are issued to shop teacher at one time. However, this must be
recorded to determine when it was received and how long the tools have been kept in
the shop. A hand tool which is too old is unsafe for both the students and workers.
Such tool should be marked defective and segregated from the good ones.
PROCEDURES ON USING DIFFERENT HAND TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
HACKSAW
STEPS IN MOUNTING BLADE TO THE METAL FRAME
SAFETY MEASURES:
Tighten the wing nut securely enough to
prevent from buckling and breaking.
1. Fasten the stock in vise with lay-out line as close as possible to the end of the used
vise jaws.
2. Stand with your feet 25 to 30 centimeters apart and one foot forward.
3. Lean the body a little forward as shown in the drawing.
COLD CHISEL
Cold Chisel is used for cutting and
chipping cold metals.
The illustration presents the Two
Hands Positioning in cold chiseling
which shows the proper grip in using
the tool.
For heavy work, hand gripping of tool
should be strong and tight; for fine and
small work, hold the tool lightly.
Look at the person work with the ball peen hammer and the chisel, as shown in
the illustration above. A cold chisel will cut metals only if you strike it with the flat
head of a ball peen hammer. The complete safety protection device and the body
position when performing the task (chiseling) are evidently done.

1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
(5’S IMPLEMENTATION)
Clearly label machinery, equipment, part, jigs, tools, and their locations, so
that everything is understandable, and visible to everyone at a glance.
Don’t pile up jigs, tools, and materials without separators (shelves). They
should be picked up easily.
Maintain the space around the fire extinguishers and evacuation passages
free.
