Classification of Tools and Equipment

This document classifies and describes different types of tools and equipment. It divides tools into three main categories: hand tools, machine/power tools, and pneumatic tools. Hand tools are manipulated solely by hand without electricity, while machine/power tools use electricity. Pneumatic tools are powered by compressed air and include air cylinders, vane motors, and sprayers. Examples are provided for common tools in each category like screwdrivers, hammers, and drills. Pneumatic tools highlighted include torque wrenches, air chisels, air drills, and floor jacks.

Classification of Tools

and Equipment

Tool is a device that can


be used to produce an item
or accomplish a task, but
that is not consumed in the
process.
1. Hand tools
2. Machine/Power
tools
3. Pneumatic tools
Hand tools
 are tools manipulated by
hands without using
electrical energy.
Machine/Power tools
 are tools manipulated by
our hands and with the use
of electrical energy.
Pneumatic tools
are tools or instruments
activated by air pressure.
Pneumatic tools are designed
around three basic devices:
the air cylinder, the vane
motor, and the sprayer.
HAND TOOLS
Screwdrivers are used to drive, or turn screws. The common type has a single flat blade for driving screws with slotted heads. The
other type has the cross slotted head.

Hammers are mostly used tools in the shop. They should be gripped at the end of the handle.

Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a pivot so that items of various sizes can be gripped.
Wrenches are used to turn screws, nuts and bolts with hexagonal heads. ―Hexagonal ‖ means six-sided. A
variety of wrenches are used in the shop.

Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from blind holes, and cylinders’ liners from
the engine blocks.
MACHINE/POWER TOOLS
* Electric drill has an electric motor that drives a chuck. The chuck has jaws that can be opened and then
closed to grip a drill kit.
* Grinding tool can be either bench-mounted or installed on a pedestal. They may either have a grinding
wheel, view wheel, or two grinding wheels.
* Vacuum cleaner is used for cleaning the floor and car interiors after service.
PNEUMATIC TOOLS
* Pneumatic Torque Wrench. This wrench
uses compressed air to quickly and
powerfully turn nuts, bolts, and other
objects.
* Air chisel uses reciprocating motion to
drive a cutting hammering tool. An air
hammer drives a chisel to cut off a nut that
has frozen to a stud. It can be used with a
variety of tools-cutters and punches to do
many jobs.
* Air drill is lighter than a comparable
electric drill. Repeatedly stalling or
overloading does not damage or overheat the
air drill.
Air racket uses the sockets and attachments from a standard socket set.

Pneumatic floor jack uses compressed air to flow into the jack cylinder and causes the ram
to extend and raise the vehicle.
