Importance of Tools
Advantages of using the proper tools:
1. Efficiency of work
2. High quality of the work
3. Speed of accomplishment
4. Accuracy
However, these advantages depend on three factors, namely:
1. Availability and sufficiency of the materials
2. Experience and skill of the workers in their respective fields
3. Good quality of tools and equipment
Types of tools and equipment
There are three main types of tools/equipment in the shop.
One type is known as hand tools because your hand supplies the
energy to operate them. The other type is called machine or power
tools/equipment which use either electricity, compressed air, or
hydraulic pressure to make them operate. The last type is referred
to as measuring tools.
Hand tools
1. 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.

2. Hammers are the most commonly used tools in the shop. They
should be gripped at the end of the handle.
3. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two
legs move on a pivot so that the items of various sizes can be
gripped.
4. Wrenches are used to turn screws, nuts and bolts with
hexagonal heads. “Hexagonal” means six-sided. A variety of
wrenches is used in the shop.
5. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts,
bushings from blind holes, and cylinder liners from the engine
blocks.
Power Tools/Equipment
A. Electric tools
1. Electric drill has an electric motor that drives a chuck. The chuck
has jaws that can open and close to grip a drill kit.
2. Grinding wheels can be either bench-mounted or pedestal
installed. They may either have grinding wheel, view wheel, or two
grinding wheels.
3. Vacuum cleaner is used for cleaning the floor and car interiors.
B. Pneumatic Tools
1. 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 tool cutters and punches
to do many jobs.
2. Air impact wrenches use a pounding or impact force to loosen or
tighten nuts or bolts
3. Air drill is lighter than a portable electric drill. Repeated stalling or
overloading can not damage or overheat the drill.

4. Air racket uses the sockets and attachments from a standard
socket set.
5. Pneumatic floor jack uses compressed air to flow into the jack
cylinder and causes the ram to extend and raise the vehicle.
C. Hydraulic Tools
1. Car lifts, single or double post have pads that must be placed
under the designated lift points of the car frame.
2. Hydraulic floor jack is used to raise the lifting saddle. A lever on
the handle releases the pressure so that the saddle and load will
settle back down.
3. Portable crane is used for lifting the engine out of the car. It is
operated hydraulically by a hand pump.
4. Hydraulic press is used to apply force on bent parts to straighten
them. It can also do such jobs as press brushing in and out, and
can press out rivets.
Measuring Tools
The different kinds of measuring tools that are used in electrical
workshop otherwise known as “Rules” are:
Zig-Zag Rule is available in 4 feet long commonly used by carpenters
for rough layout.
Pull Push Tape is used to measure longer distances available from
one meter to 50 meters long.
Slide Caliper Rule is a special tool used to measure outside
diameter of cylindrical objects.
Marking Gauge is a tool most appropriate in making lines parallel
with the edges of the wood.

1. Pipe Cutter is a tool used for cutting rigid steel conduit.

2. Hickey/ Pipe Bender is a tool used for bending rigid metallic conduit.
3. Nipples is a short length of conduit or tubing material which is used to extend a conduit
system.
4.Elbow is the bent section of the conduit or tubing used to change raceway direction or
bypass obstruction.
5. Coupling is a device connecting two pieces of pipes in order to extend their length.

OUR MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES TO EXTEND YOUR TOOL’S LIFE!

#LetUsShowYouHow

Your power and hand tools are what help you to do your best work when fixing up
around the house and doing your DIY projects. They are made to last for a long time
and by taking good care of them by performing the correct maintenance habits, will
keep your tools running well, prevent them from unnecessary damage, thus helping
them to last longer.

Extend your tools lives by taking good care of your investment with these handy and
very valuable tips:

1. Carefully read user manuals – Always follow the guidelines and instructions
stipulated in tool user manuals for specific maintenance procedures. This will prevent
misuse of them and avoid any unwanted damage to be caused.

2. Service your tools – Power tool components need to firmly stay in place inside the
machine and they can often move out of alignment during use. Refer to your tool’s user
manual in order to determine when you should get it adjusted and recalibrated by a
professional, if it can’t be done at home.

3. Correctly store away – Store tools in a clean, dry and clutter-free space where it
is well-ventilated and safe from any heat or moisture. This will avoid safety issues like
electrical problems or corrosion to elements.

4. Replace and repair – some tool components will eventually get worn from wear
and tear and these parts need to be frequently monitored so they can be either
repaired or replaced. Assess your tools on a regular basis to avoid disappointment
when they need to be used.

5. Keep them well-lubricated – Keep your tools well-oiled to prevent certain parts
from rubbing, causing them to wear down or even cause unsafe heating. Lubrication is
necessary to ensure that all moving components within the machine suitably work.

6. Check electrical cables – Inspect all power cables for any visible cuts and or
distressed covers and replace them if they have any exposed wires showing to avoid
possibly dangerous results.

7. Sharpen up – Make sure that blades and other slicing fittings are sharp enough to
make your job precise. Having blunt blades will only make the job take longer to do.
Check that all fasteners and screws are tight before and after use, which may have
come loose in operation.
8. Allow tools to cool down – After use of tools, allow for ample time for them to cool
off before storing them away. Avoid overheating and switch any tools off before it gets
too hot. This will help save you from wearing out the motor or burning out parts.

9. Properly clean parts – Do not blow away the dust on tools like you would on
appliances as by doing so you can push particles into delicate areas which can
eventually destroy the machine from corrosion. Rather remove any dust or dirt with a
toothbrush and then wipe down with a soft cloth.

10. Avoid dead batteries – It is not recommended to let your powertool batteries to
completely run out. Rather charge them before they get too low and totally die. Store
batteries in a cool dry place to prevent them from overheating as burnt out batteries
are unrepairable.
