LESSON

Proper Maintenance of Hand Tools and The 5s

How To Care for Hand Tools

Professionals also neglect to maintain their hand tools, but these tools are expensive,
and they are your babies. If you take care of them now, they'll stay with you in the
long run. Clean your hand tools for better performance and lifespan after every
project. If you want to professionally clean your hand tools, purchase a gun cleaning
kit. You'll find the tools you need to clean almost any hand tool you have. You need
to store your tools correctly for proper maintenance. Next, it comes to clean them
properly. After that, the sharpening arrives. Then you need to lubricate the tools in
the right place. At the end of the day, don't forget about routine inspection and always
follow the manual.
Storing Hand Tools

Storing tools in the correct way is very critical. This is the act of putting things in a
specific position to be used in the future, or the place where you put it.
Some of the general storing of tools tips include:

 Don’t just dump all your tools into one toolbox.

 You should store all your tools in a dry place.
 Do not expose your tools to rain.
 Store your tools in a dry place. Never leave it outside.
 Don’t leave your tools laying on the ground; it’s risky and no good will come
from it.
 Avoid stacking tools on top of each other, unless they are well protected in
cases.
Cleaning Your Tools

Cleaning is a process that removes unwanted substances, such as dirt, infectious

agents and other impurities, from the object or the environment. Cleaning takes
place in many different contexts and uses a variety of different methods. A number
of occupations are dedicated to cleaning.

The material that your device makes plays a significant role in the method of cleaning
that you should use. For example, if the instrument is mostly aluminum, avoid using
alcohol, as it may cause the aluminum to deteriorate. It's best not to use anything
for brass except a clean cloth that you've dampened with distilled water.

General cleaning tips include:

 Do not leave your tools in contact with dirt or oil for long periods, as oils may
cause corrosion.
 Avoid touching gages with your bare hands, as skin oils can be harmful.
 Use a smooth, non-abrasive cloth to clean your tools and ensure that the cloth
is clean before use.

Sharpening of Tools
 You should sharpen your tools with sandpaper, water stones or diamonds. It's
the simplest and cheapest way to go with sandpaper.
 The problem is, it doesn't have a structure so it bounces off. You need to use
it on a flat surface. Put a piece of wood or glass under the sandpaper, then
sharpen the sandpaper with your tools.
 The sandpaper runs out easily and will ultimately become more costly than
the other choices. The water stone is a little more costly than sandpaper, but
it lasts longer. You've got to wet the stone and then sharpen your tools on it.
 Diamonds are the best sharpening system in the long run. If you're going to
get into diamonds, don't get the cheap ones. If you do, it's going to rust and
corrode. The diamond comes off, and it will soon become worthless.

Lubrication
Lubrication is the regulation of friction and wear by applying a friction-reducing film
between moving surfaces in contact. The lubricant used can be liquid, solid or
plastic. The key objective of lubrication is to reduce friction, but there are many other
benefits to this process. Lubricating film can help avoid corrosion by protecting the
surface from water and other corrosive substances. In addition, they play an
important role in managing device pollution.
The primary functions of a lubricant are to:

 Reduce friction
 Prevent wear
 Protect the equipment from corrosion
 Control temperature (dissipate heat)
 Control contamination (carry contaminants to a filter or sump)
 Transmit power (hydraulics)
 Provide a fluid seal
Types of Lubrication

 Full-film lubrication can be divided into two forms: hydrodynamic and

elastohydrodynamic. Hydrodynamic lubrication occurs when two sliding-
moving surfaces (relative to each other) are completely separated by a fluid
film.
 Elastohydrodynamic lubrication is similar but occurs when the surfaces are
in rolling motion (relative to each other). The film layer in elastohydrodynamic
conditions is much thinner than that of hydrodynamic lubrication, and the
film pressure is higher. It is called elastohydrodynamics, since the film
elastically deforms the rolling surface to lubricate it.
 Boundary lubrication-is seen where there are regular start-ups and stop-ups
and where shock-loading conditions are present. Some oils have high-
pressure (EP) or anti-wear (AW) additives to help protect surfaces where full
film cannot be achieved due to speed, load or other factors.
 Mixed lubrication-is a cross-section between boundary and hydrodynamic
lubrication. While most surfaces are separated by a lubricating layer,
asperities are still in contact with each other. That's where the additives come
into play again.

The 5S

5S is a method of organization of the workplace which

uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri (整理), seiton
(整頓), seisō (清掃), seiketsu (清潔), and shitsuke (躾).

 Sort (Seiri) is sorting through all items in a location and removing all
unnecessary items from the location.
These are the objectives:
• Minimize the time loss to search for an object by reducing the number of
objects.
• Reduce the risk of distraction by unwanted objects.
• Simplify the inspection process.
• Increase the amount of space available and useful.
• Improve protection by removing barriers.

 Set In Order (Seiton) places all the requisite things in the best position to
perform their duties at the workplace. Seiton's purpose is to make the
workflow smooth and simple.

Implementation:
 Arrange the workstations in such a way that all the tools / devices are
in close proximity, easy to access and in a logical order adapted to the
work done.
 Place components according to their application, the commonly used
components being closest to the workplace.
 Arrange all required products in such a way that they can be quickly
picked for use. Make it easy to find and pick up the things you need.
 Assign fixed positions to the objects. Use simple labels, markings or
hints to make it easy to return items to the correct location and make
it easy to find missing items.

 Shine (Seiso) regularly sweeps or cleans and inspects the workplace,

equipment and machinery.

These are Seiso's objectives:

• Improves the efficiency and safety of production processes, reduces waste,
prevents errors and defects.

• Keep your workplace safe and easy to work in.

• Keep the work place clean and enjoyable.

• When in place, anyone who is not familiar with the environment must be
able to detect any problems within 50 feet in 5 sec.
 Standardize (Seiketsu) is intended to standardize the procedures used to
sort, order and clean the workplace. The aim of Seiketsu is to develop
protocols and timetables to ensure that the first three 'S 'activities are
continued.

 Sustain/Self-discipline (Shitsuke) or sustain the processes established

through self-discipline of the workers. It also translates as "do without being
told." The purpose of this is to ensure that the 5S strategy is followed.
