Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the TVL 11-Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Identifying Hand Tools

for Staging Formwork Components!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator
in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while
overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body
of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and
assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the Learner:

Welcome to the TVL 11 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Identifying Hand Tools

for Staging Formwork Components!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used
to depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a
learner is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant
competencies and skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies
in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities
for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be
enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

 What is It

This time you will be learning concepts on common hand tools for
formwork components. Read and understand the concepts Let’s get into it now.

Common Hands Tools for Formwork Components

1. Crosscut saw is used for cutting over

the wood grain. To preserve their
sharpness, the teeth are set and filed.
The common sizes are lengths of 24
"(660.4 mm). They cut in the log, to
make a kerf.

2. Claw hammer is used for driving and

pulling out nails.

3. Steel square has a blade of 24 inches

(609.6 mm) and a tongue of 16 inches
(406.4 mm) for measuring work, squaring
lines and wide testing for wind or twist in
cabinet making and carpentry.

4. Try Square is a square with blade

ranging from 6 inches to 12 inches.
It is used for marking and measuring a
square piece of wood.

6
5. Pull- push rule is a metal strip fitted with either
English scale or metric standard or metric
measuring system. It has a steel frame, so it
bounces. It is also known as steel tape or tape
rule used for measuring long, short, straight
lengths.

6. Ripping bar, also known as Crow bar, is a steel

bar with one end formed into a ripping chisel
and the other end shaped like a gooseneck with
a claw used for pulling nails.

7. Chisel is used for the cutting, molding and

decoration of objects. The wood chisels vary in
size from 1⁄4 to 2 inches (26 to 50.8 mm) long.

8. Chalk line is the tool used to mark long,

straight lines with chalk powder, oil or ink.

9. Plumb bob is a weight, usually at the

bottom with a pointed tip, which is
suspended from a string and used as a
vertical reference line or a plumb line to
establish a vertical or horizontal datum.

10. Level hose is one of the best and accurate tools

for guiding work in establishing a horizontal level.

7
11. Spirit Level is both used for guiding and testing
the work to a vertical or horizontal position.

12. Adjustable Wrench, also known as the

adjustable spanner or adjustable crescent, is a tool
that can be used to loosen or tighten a nut or bolt.

13. Marking Gauge is used in woodworking and

metalworking to mark lines for cutting or other
operations. The purpose of the gauge is to write a
line parallel to the reference edge or surface.
