Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the (Technology and Livelihood Education Grade 9) Self-Learning

Module on (Proper Storing of hand tools/instruments)!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character 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

 LESSON
Proper Storing of Hand Tools and Instruments

From small hand tools such as screwdrivers or

wrenches to large power tools commonly found in
workshops or tool shops, most individuals have
various types of tools at home. Tools from the
basement to the garage are kept all over the
house, but if not stored properly, they will rust
and break. For care and storage, hand and power
devices have different specifications.
What is Storage?
Storage is the process of keeping or
putting something in a special place while it is
not being used. Proper storage is an important
factor to consider for the safety and health of the
workers.

There are different ways of storing tools and equipment. Some prefer to store tools in
the basement or in garage while some store tools in the cabinets.
The following are the different storage and how it is being used:

1. Power Tool Storage Rack

A power tool storage rack is a smart solution for keeping your
power tools organized especially if the problem is space. The
power tools is accompanied by a power tool storage rack for
protection.

2. Power Tool Storage Cabinet

It is the best solution for storing power tools and other hand
tools keeping it safe, clean and organized. Some storage
cabinets for power tools come with the capacity to charge.

 3. Hanging Tools or Use Tool Storage Drawers

Hanging pegboards on the walls of the work room,

in the garage or basement, is a handy way to keep
tools stored at home. It will keep instruments off
the floor and organized. Use a drawer storage
system for smaller tools and accessories to protect
them from dust.

4. Measuring devices come in cases

Most of the measuring devices come in cases, and
in these cases it is the best practice to store the
tools. The cases also helps protect tools from dust
and airborne contaminants and prevent accidental
physical damage by holding them in a case.

Useful Tips in Storing Instruments

1. Make sure the location is well-protected from disruptive factors.

2. Do not store precision instruments where they can bump against each
other in the drawer. Use dividers to isolate instruments from each other or
position them in padded cases. Unless they are well-protected in situations,
avoid stacking instruments on top of each other.

3. Keep measuring instruments stored in a place as far away as possible

from vibration and movement. If the storage location is exposed to humidity,
use methods of moisture reduction that can help minimize humidity. Silica
gel packets stored in drawers or kept air-conditioned in a storage room can
also significantly reduce ambient moisture.

4. Always store tools in a dry place. Never leave them outdoors.

5. Precision measuring tools should never be put near any magnetic

material such as a magnetic worktable, to avoid being magnetized.

Below are some simple preparatory steps that should be taken into consideration
inorder to keep tools in good working condition during storage.
 1. Clean tools after each use.

After each use, clean them to keep the instruments tidy. To ensure that they
are free of dirt, grease and debris, wipe them down with a rag or towel. Clean
every metal surface with an approved solution and scrape away any soil and
dirt if the instruments need extra care. Before it is placed in storage,
completely dry the tool with a towel or rag. All surfaces should be cleaned
and completely dry before power tools are used.

2. Dispose any broken or defective tools.

Check for damage or flaws as you do your cleaning. If you can't repair a tool,
then throw it away. Do not allow the extra space to be cluttered.

3. Use metal protectant spray on all metal parts.

With a lubricant metal protector spray, coat the metal parts of the
instruments.

4. Never store tools near the ground.

Do not put the tools on the ground directly for storage. Set the small hand
and power tools on the shelving.

5. Be creative with storage options.

Store equipment with short handles in a plastic bin or box. Lock long-
handled instruments together in a garbage can when in storage. If not, hang
these instruments on a wall. Place small tools in plastic bins if you are
storing tools in self-storage. In a bin, organize similar-sized instruments
together. An additional layer of security is provided by plastic bins. Also, the
bins are easy to stack and bring to a construction site from the storage unit
to a vehicle.

6. Make a list of all items that are stored.

Be sure to mark the contents of the boxes so that you can locate the tool
when you need it. Keep a list of the equipment that you have and where they
are kept for inventory.
