INFORMATION SHEET 1.1.1

Classification of Hand Tools
I. Basic Electronic Hand Tools
A. Driving Tools
1. Screwdriver. It is a device 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 torque by rotating the tip and some way to position and support the
screwdriver. A typical hand screwdriver comprises an approximately cylindrical handle of
a size and shape to be held by a human hand and an axial shaft fixed to the handle, the
tip of which is shaped to fit a particular type of screw. The handle and shaft allow the
screwdriver to be positioned and supported when rotated to apply torque.

 Slotted (Flat)– It is used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.
 Phillips® – hugely popular in manufacturing industries. A direct solution that

addressed a number of issues associated with slot-driven screws: cam out, difficult
centering and alignment with surface, and difficulty with powered tools.
 Socket (hexagon) – a screw with a hexagonal recess that can be driven in using a
hex wrench (Allen or hex key) or a hex bit. Tamper-resistant versions have been made
available featuring a center pin which requires a compatible bit.
 Torx (star drive) – a six-sided star shaped recess drive designed to allow increased
torque transfer from the driver to the bit, compared to other systems. It reduces
installers’ fatigue by minimizing the need to bear down on the power tool to prevent
cam-out.

2. 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,

3. Precision Screwdriver Set. It is a set of small screw drivers composed of slotted and
Philips screwdrivers.

Figure 1.1.5 Precision screw driver set

B. Soldering Tools
1. 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.
Figure 1.1.6 Soldering iron with wooden handle

https://www.daakyetech.com/store/soldering-iron-40w-
wood/
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.

2. 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.
Figure 1.1.7 Soldering iron stand with sponge

https://www.jsumo.com/soldering-iron-stand-with-sponge
3. Desoldering tools. 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.

C. Splicing Tools
1. Long Nose. It is used for holding, bending and stretching the lead of electronic
component or connecting wire.
Figure 1.1.9 Long-nose plier with insulated handles

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle-nose_pliers
2. Side Cutter. It is a wire-cutting plier, though they are not used to grab or turn anything,
but are used to cut wire.

Figure 1.1.10 Side cutter plier with insulated handles

https://www.fine-tools.com/side-cutters.html
3. 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.

3. Metal File. It is a hand tool used to shape metals by grinding. A file has series of sharp,
parallel ridges or teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end to which a
handle can be fitted.

 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.

E. Cutting Tools
1. Utility Knife. It is a common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts for a variety
of purposes.
Figure 1.1.15 A common utility knife

https://tolsen.com.ph/products/double-function-utility-knife
2. Hacksaws. They are saws for cutting metal. Some of them have pistol grips which keep
the hacksaw firm and easy to grip. The small hand-held hacksaws consist of a metal arch
with a handle that fits around a narrow, rigid blade. The blade has many small saw teeth
along one side. It can either be attached such that the teeth face away from the handle,
resulting in sawing action by pushing, or be attached such that the teeth face toward the
handle, resulting in sawing action by pulling. On the push stroke, the arch will bend a
little, releasing the tension on the blade. The blade is normally quite brittle; so extra care
is needed to be taken to prevent brittle fracture of the blade.

F. Auxiliary Tools
1. 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.

hammer

peen_hammer

2. 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. The distance between the lens and
the object must be shorter than the focal length of the lens for this to occur. Otherwise,
the image appears smaller and inverted, and can be used to project images onto
surfaces. The framed lens may be mounted on a stand, keeping the lens at the right
distance from the table, and therefore at the right distance from the object on the table.
Figure 1.1.18 A magnifying glass with lights and stand

ttps://www.aliexpress.com/i/32612839814.html
The latter applies if the object is small and also if the height is adjustable. Some
magnifying glasses are foldable with built-in light
3. Paint Brush. It is made of bristles set in handle used for cleaning dirty parts of a circuit
or an object.

II. Diagnostic Equipment.

Aside from hand tools, equipment is also needed for more accurate and quality output. In
this connection, three of the most used equipment are presented here for you to be familiar
with their uses and the proper way of maintaining them.
A. Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (VOM). 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.

B. 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)
Figure 1.1.22 A portable oscilloscope

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope
C. Signal generator. A signal generator is a device which produces simple wave forms.

Use of Appropriate Electronic Hand Tools Based on Safety Requirements
Tools are such a common part of our lives that it is difficult to remember that they may pose
hazards. Tragically, a serious incident can occur before steps are taken to identify and avoid or
eliminate tool-related hazards.
Employees who use hand and power tools and are exposed to the hazards of falling, flying,
abrasive, and splashing objects, or to harmful dusts, fumes, mists, vapors, or gases must be
provided with the appropriate personal protective equipment. All electrical connections for these
tools must be suitable for the type of tool and the working conditions (wet, dusty, flammable vapors).
When a temporary power source is used for construction a ground-fault circuit interrupter should be
used.
Employees should be trained in the proper use of all tools. Workers should be able to
recognize the hazards associated with the different types of tools and the safety precautions
necessary.
Here are some safety rules can help prevent hazards associated with the use of hand and
power tools:

 Keep all tools in good condition with

regular maintenance.

center/article/880/Power_Tool_Care_and_
Maintenance_101.html
 Use the right tool for the job.
 Examine each tool for damage before use and do not use damaged tools.

Maintaining and Storing Tools & Equipment
The most significant point to think at the start of your career is to acquire branded tools. They
must be made out of high-quality steel and manufactured for precision. Special consideration is
given to balance so that the tool/equipment will be properly maintained and prevent loses. Since the
technician must work with his tools daily, regular inventory of tools/equipment is very significant.
The initial cost of a minimum number of tools is high but there is accompanying warranty
guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long run, to start with a few
cautiously selected tools that will take care of your most common needs and then slowly build-up to
a complete set. It is sometimes hard to identify and memorize the huge number of tools and
equipment in the workshop, maintaining the inventory record is of great value.
An important aspect of any business is the maintenance and storage of tools and equipment.
The investment in tools and equipment is a significant part of the overhead expenses in any
operation. Proper selection and maintenance of equipment are important factors in managing
business. Selecting the proper tool for the job and using the tool properly will increase efficiency and
reduce maintenance problems. Purchase tools, which are well-made and suited to the intended use.
Commercial usage may entail more heavy duty demands on equipment. Always wear protective
clothing and use the appropriate safety equipment.
Below are the general guidelines in maintaining your tools and equipment:
1. Make an inventory of every tools and equipment in the workplace. Every tool should
have a tag with an asset number pertaining with their purchase and maintenance date
so that the durability and lifespan of the tool can be monitored. Maintenance materials
should also be in the inventory.

Figure 1.3.1 An example of an inventory list

for tools and equipment that require the
description, serial number, date acquired,
vendor name and also cost of the items.
https://www.template.net/business/inventor
y-templates/equipment-inventory-template/
2. Identify what classification each tool belongs to. Every classification of tools needs
different procedure, level and frequency of maintenance. Each classification also
requires different storage area. (See Chapter 1 LO. 1 for the classifications)
3. Set a schedule for maintenance of tools. It may be daily, weekly, bi-monthly or monthly;
the schedule of maintenance may vary with the classification, quality and usage of the
tools. Always follow these schedules.
Figure 1.3.2 An example of a maintenance schedule form that is filled up by the technician after performing
maintenance on tools or equipment.
https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/531847037245618767/

4. Use the proper materials in maintaining tools as designed for them. Some tools are
purchased along with the materials dedicated for them only.

II. Diagnostic Equipment.

Testing or diagnostic equipment require more care than just maintenance and cleaning. They
require calibration and fine-tuning from specialists that trained specifically for them. The
instructions below will provide basic caring, but still essential procedures and the “do’s” and
“don’ts” of using said equipment.
1. Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (VOM) or multimeter

 Keep the covering free from dust, dirt and oil or grease. Use dry cloth for cleaning.
 Turn off the multimeter when not in use and store it inside its case or place the cover
in front.
 Keep the test probes free from tangle. Store them inside their designate place or
compartment after use. Avoid wrapping them around the body of the tester.
 Do not drop the VOM.
 Do not overload the VOM. When in doubt, use a high range that you know will not be
overloaded. You can always switch to a lower range if necessary.
 Do not tamper with the insides of the multimeter. Only replace the battery when
necessary. Be careful not to touch any other electronic components within the
equipment.
 Be careful not to touch the probe tips to each other while connected to anything else.
 Never switch settings (voltage to current for example) while the probes are connected
to circuit

Defects on Tools and How to Remedy Them
It has been stated a few many times on Information Sheet 1.3.2 the procedures like “keep
the (part) free from rust.” Many would know what rust is or what it looks like but only few know how
it can affect the performance and life span of the tool. Below is the list of the defects you should
inspect in a tool and also instruction on how to deal with them.
A. Rusts
Figure 1.3.10 A rusted side cutter plier. The rust may hinder its function and movement
https://www.stockfreeimages.com/6680279/Dirty-Rusty-Worthless-Old-Wie-Cutters.html
What it is: The rust on your tools is caused by exposure to water and oxygen. It is also
called oxidation.
Effect on tools: Aside from the discoloration and roughness on your tools, rust can hinder
the movement of the tools. It can also dull the sharpness which is a problem for bladed
tools. Over time, excess rusting can make your tools weak and brittle which will cause it to
break.
Remedy: There are many clever rust removal methods. You don’t even need to spend a
lot of money on expensive rust remover liquids, as your cupboards already have plenty of
natural materials for getting rid of rust. Below are some of the methods in removing rusts.
 Soak in vinegar. Acid is a great rust remover and can instantly clear small bits of rust
from your tools. Place your tools into a bowl and pour over some white vinegar (apple
cider vinegar, for instance). Shake the bowl a little to ensure the vinegar covers the

tools completely and hits all areas. Leave to soak for one day and then pour out the
vinegar.
 Scrub with lemon. Another great natural acid that works against rust is lemon. Pour
salt over the tools, rub it and squeeze some lemon juice on top. Let it soak in for a few
hours. After a few hours, scrub off the mixture with steel wool or with the rind of the
lemon.
 Brush with baking soda. Finally, baking soda can also act as a rust remover. Pour
baking soda into a bowl and add water to create a paste-type mixture. Apply the paste
to the rusted area and let it set for a few hours. After it has soaked, scrub the paste off
with a brush.
B. Grease or oil
Figure 1.3.11 A greasy set of metal files

https://www.aloktools.com/hand-tools-handling-tips/
What it is: The grease or oil on your tools may be from the residue of the lubricants you
recently used on your previous maintenance.
Effect on tools: Aside from the greasy look on your tool, handling tools with oil or grease
could result in it slipping away from your hands which may cause accident or loss of tool.
Remedy: Grease and oil are relatively easy to remove with only home cleaning agents.
 Add a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to a gallon of hot water.
 With a dishrag or sponge, scrub away the grease and oil (do not soak hand tools*).
 When clean, thoroughly rinse them under running water and dry them with a towel right
away.

C. Dents / crack / splinters
Figure 1.3.12 A cracked handle of a claw hammer which

may cause injury if used continuously
https://picclick.com/Vintage-Millers-Falls-Hammer-no-
1417-11-232792910901.html
What it is: Dents, cracks or splinters may be the result of overuse, misuse or aging of the
materials of the tools.
Effect on tools: Dents, cracks or splinters may cause weakening of the tool if used
continually. They may cause the tool to break eventually if not immediately.
Remedy: These tool defects may still be remedied thru patching, gluing, welding or sanding
but it all depends on the severity or the affected area. If the defect is beyond repair, it is
best to just replace the tool rather than it breaking then causing injury to the user.
