BASIC HAND

TOOLS
BY: ARYAN N. NAVALES
Driving of Tools
Screwdrivers are hand tools specifically
designed to insert and tighten, or to loosen and
remove screws.

A screwdriver comprises a head or


tip, which engages with a screw, a
mechanism to apply force by rotating the
tip, and some way to position and support
the screwdriver, the tip of which is shaped
in to fit a particular type of screw.
Flat Screwdriver

It is used to drive or fasten negative slotted


screws.

Phillips Screwdriver

Used to drive or fasten positive slotted screws. It is


a screwdriver that could take greater torque and
could provide tighter fastenings.
Hex (Allen Wrench)
It is used to drive or fasten
hexagonal screws. The head has
a hexagonal hole turned by an
allen key.
An Allen key is a hexagonal shaped wrench bent
in letter-L. The Allen key was invented by an American,
Gilbert F. Heublein,
Precision Screwdriver Set

It is a set of small screw


drivers composed of slotted
and Philips screwdrivers.
Soldering Tools
Soldering Iron
It is a device used for applying
heat to melt solder in attaching two
metal parts. A soldering iron is
composed of a heated metal tip
and an insulated handle.

Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing a current,


supplied through an electrical cord, through a heating element.
For electrical work, wires are usually soldered to printed circuit
boards, other wires, or small terminals. A low-power iron (15-30
Watts) is suitable for this work.
Some soldering irons have interchangeable tips for
different types of work. Fine round or chisel tips are
typically used for electronics work. A new tip needs to
be coated, heated, and then covered with solder
before its first use. This procedure is called "tinning".
The tinning forms a liquid layer which facilitates the
transfer of heat to the work piece. A dirty tip does not
transfer heat well. The tip needs to be kept coated with
a shiny layer of solder by occasional wiping and
applying solder directly to the tip.
Soldering Tool Stand
It is a place of the soldering
iron to keep them away from
flammable materials. The stand
often also comes with a sponge
and flux pot for cleaning the tip.
Desoldering tool
It is used for the removal of
solder and components from a
circuit when troubleshooting,
repair purposes and to save
components.

Electronic components are often mounted on a


circuit board and it is usually desirable to avoid
damaging the circuit board, surrounding components,
and the component being removed.
Splicing Tools
Long Nose
It is used for holding,
bending and stretching the lead
of electronic component or
connecting wire.

Side Cutter
It is a wire-cutting plier, though they
are not used to grab or turn anything,
but are used to cut wire.
Wire Stripper
It is a pair of opposing blades
much like scissors or wire cutters.
The addition of a center notch
makes it easier to cut the
insulation without cutting the wire.
This type of wire stripper is used by rotating it around
the insulation while applying pressure in order to make
a cut around the insulation. Since the insulation is not
bonded with the wire, it will be pulled easily at the end.
Boring Tools
Metal File
It is a hand tool used to
shape metals by grinding. A
file series of sharp, parallel
ridges or teeth. Most files
have a narrow, pointed tang
at one end to which a handle
can be fitted.
12 Volt Mini-Drill
It is used to bore or drill
holes in the printed circuit
board (pcb).

Portable Electric Drill


It is used for boring hole/s
in the plastic chassis or metal
chassis with the used of drill
bits.
Flat Files
They are parallel in
width and tapered in
thickness. They are used for
flat surfaces and edges.
Half Round Files
They are tapers in
width and thickness,
coming to a point, and are
narrower than a standard
half round which are used
for filing inside of rings.
Round Files
They are also called
rat-tail files gradually
tapered and are used for
many tasks that require a
round tool, such as
enlarging round holes or
cutting a scalloped edge.
Cutting Tools
Cutting Tools
Utility Knife. It is a common
tool used in cutting various
trades and crafts for a
variety of purposes.
Auxiliary Tools

Ball-peen Hammer
It is a type of hammer used in
metalworking. The ball-peen
hammer remains useful for many
tasks such as tapping punches and
chisels.
The original function of the hammer was to "peen"
riveted or welded material so that it will exhibit the same
elastic behavior as the surrounding material. Specifically,
striking the metal imparts a stress at the point of impact
which results in strain-hardening of that area. Strain
hardening raises the elastic limit of a material into the
plastic range without affecting its ultimate strength. A
strain-hardened material will not deform under the same
low stresses as a non-hardened material. Most metals can
be "worked" by such methods until they lose all of their
ductile characteristics and become strong but brittle.
Magnifying Glass
It is a convex lens which is used
to produce a magnified image of an
object. The lens is usually mounted
in a frame with a handle (see
image). Roger Bacon is the original
inventor of the magnifying glass. A
magnifying glass works by creating a
magnified virtual image of an object
behind the lens
Paint Brush
It is made of bristles set
in handle used for cleaning
dirty parts of a circuit or an
object.
Electronic Equipment
Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter
It is an equipment that
combines three functions: as
a voltmeter that measures
both ac and dc voltages; an
ohmmeter that measures
resistance; and milliammeter that measures small
amount of dc current. As safety precautions in the
maintenance of this instrument, the following should
be observed:
Oscilloscope
An oscilloscope
(commonly abbreviated CRO,
for cathode-ray oscilloscope, or
scope) is a piece of electronic
test equipment that allows signal
voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph
of one or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis)
plotted as a function of time or of some other voltage
(horizontal axis).
Signal generator
A signal generator is a
device which produces
simple wave forms.
Standard signal generator
It is extensively used in the
testing of radio receivers and
transmitters. This is basically a radio
frequency (RF) signal generator. The
standard signal generator produces
known and controllable voltages.
Common Faults in Using
Hand Tools
Pliers
o Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain
more leverage. Use a larger pair of pliers or bolt
cutters if necessary.
o Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning
bolts and nuts. Pliers cannot grip these items
properly and might cause a slip and create an
accident.
o Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle.
Such abuse is likely to result in cracks
o or breaks.
o Cut hardened wires only with pliers designed for
that purpose.
o Always cut the wires in right angle. Never rock
from side to side or bend wire back and forth
against the cutting edges.
Utility Knives/ Blades:
o Do not use dull blades because they require more force, thus are
more likely to slip.
o Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of cut.
o Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed.
o Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open
cans or loosen tight
o cover of containers. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.
Screwdrivers:
o Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch
stirrer or scraper.
o Never use screwdrivers with broken or worn-out
handles. Screwdrivers of these kinds should have tags
to indicate that it is defective.
o Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage.
Only use wrench or
o screwdrivers specifically designed for purpose.
