3. appreciate the value of basic hand and power tools.

III. Discussion:
Electrical Tools and Equipment
Electrical task can be accomplished systematically to save time, effort, and resources. Most of the
work cannot be done using bare hands. To do the task, electrical tools or equipment are needed to
perform the job. This lesson will discuss the function/use of each tool or equipment used in electrical
wiring installations.
The following are common electrical tools and equipment needed in the installation of electrical
wiring.

SCREW DRIVERS- These tools are made of steel hardened and tempered at the tip
used to loosen or tighten screws with slotted heads. They come in various sizes and
shapes.

1) Standard/Flat Screwdriver- The blade tip is wedge-shaped and resembles a negative (-) sign. This is used
to drive screws with a single slot head.
2) Philips Screwdriver- This has a cross tip resembling a positive (+) sign. This is used to drive screws with
cross slot heads.
3) Stubby Screwdriver- It comes in either Standard or Philips screwdriver with short shank or blade and a
shorted handle used to turn screws in tight space where standard screw driver cannot be
used.
4) Allen Screwdriver/Wrench- This could be in the shape of a screwdriver or a wrench. Its function is to drive
screw with hexagonal slot head.

HAMMERS- These are tools used in driving or pounding and pulling out nails. They
are made of hard steel, wood, plastic, or rubber. The following are types of hammer:

1) Claw hammer
2) Mallet (rubber head)
3) Ballpeen hammer

PLIERS- These made from metal with insulators in the handle and are used for cutting,
twisting, bending, holding, and gripping wires and cables.

 1) Combination Pliers (Lineman’s Pliers)- This is used for gripping, holding, and cutting electrical
wires and cables and even small nails. They are usually used by linemen in doing heavy tasks.
2) Side Cutting Pliers- This type of pliers is used for cutting fine, medium and big wires and cables.
3) Long Nose Pliers- This is used for cutting and holding fine wires. This can reach tight space or small
opening where other pliers cannot reach and used in making terminal loops of copper wires.
4) Wire Stripper- A tool used for removing insulation of medium sized wires ranging from gauge #10 to
gauge #16.
5) Electrician’s Knife- This is used by linemen to remove insulation of wire and cables in low and high
voltage transmission lines.
6) Portable Electric drill- A small drilling machine with a chuck capacity of ¼’’ and 3/8’’. It is used in
making holes on metal sheets and concrete walls.
7) Hacksaw- This tool is used to cut metal conduit and armored/shielded cable.
8) Steel tape rule - is a measuring tool used to measure the length of an object in centimeter and inches.
9) Multi-tester - is used to measure the voltage, resistance and current of a circuit. It is connected in
parallel or series with the circuit depending on what to measure.
10) Bender (Hickey) - a pipe bending apparatus.
11) Heat gun - A heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air, usually at temperatures between
100 °C and 550 °C (200-1000 °F), with some hotter models running around 760 °C (1400 °F), which
can be held by hand. Heat guns usually have the form of an elongated body pointing at what is to be
heated, with a handle fixed to it at right angles and a trigger, in the same general layout as a handgun,
hence the name.
12) Blow Torch – Use for Plastic pipe bending.
13) File - A file is a tool used to remove fine amounts of material from a workpiece. It is common in
woodworking, metalworking, and other similar trade and hobby tasks. Most are hand tools, made of a
case-hardened steel bar of rectangular, square, triangular, or round cross-section, with one or more
surfaces cut with sharp, generally parallel teeth.
14) Gimlet - A gimlet is a hand tool for drilling small holes, mainly in wood, without splitting.
15) Fuse puller - A fuse puller is a tool used to insert and remove electrical fuses from their housing.
16) Holster – Use to hold different hand tools.
17) Pipe threader - Use to thread metallic pipe.
18) Soldering - tools are used in making splices and taps connections of wires.

IV. Activities:
Direction: Draw a minimum of 25 basic hand and power tools with function in long bond paper.
