CONDITION OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

Learning Competency :
Checking Condition of Tools and Equipment
Learning Context

In your previous lesson, you identified, described, and prepared tools and equipment for a certain
task. I know you are ready for the first activity of your new lesson but before we proceed to learning
new one, let us have some review on your previous topic. In this activity, you can apply your
knowledge on the requisition of appropriate material and tools for your project.
Directions: Fill out the requisition form for the materials to be used in the making of the suggested
project. Get it on, learner!

(Notes to the Teacher

Teachers, the activities prepared for this lesson must be new things to experience by our learner.
Hence, your constant reminder on the precautionary measure is expected from you.)

Congratulations, Learner! You have proven that you really learned a lot in your previous lesson. This
time, you will be harnessed with new skills in determining the conditions of the materials you might
always use in the task given to you. Before knowing the condition of the materials and equipment, first,
you need to determine the classifications of materials, and their uses. To make it more challenging yet
engaging, let us have a game called Detect and Connect. Get it on, Learner!
Checking condition of tools and equipment is one of the carpentry routines which requires know-how,
initially, on the different hand tools. Through the knowledge and skills, you possess, you can easily
perform the activities not only in the creation of projects but also in the maintenance of the tools and
equipment. Practically, the frequent checking and maintaining the good condition and functions of the
tools and equipment enable you to plan out for more projects and will not get much of your money for
buying new ones. Basically, you cannot identify and segregate defective tools and equipment if you
have less knowledge about them.

Thus, to start mastering this lesson, let us have an initial activity which can help you think about the
categories of the tools and equipment.

Directions: Keep in the Basket: Identify the classification of the scattered hand tools by connecting
them to the correct basket using straight lines. After connecting them all to their classifications, try to
detect what you have formed looks like.

Classification of Hand Tools

One of the classifications of the hand tools is the measuring tools. This includes the pull-push rule,
ruler, meter stick, try square, and caliper. Their uses are mainly to get the measurements of the
material or maintain their dimensions. They are useful most of the time whenever you need to make
sure of the accuracy of measurement in your carpentry works.
