CLASSIFICATION OF TOOLS IN PLUMBING

BORING TOOLS - a tool used to make a hole

a. COLD CHISEL- is a tool made from hexagon or octagon-shaped tool steel, commonly
called cold chisel steel. Its convenient size is for handling. One end is shaped
for cutting operations.

b. ELECTRIC DRILL- This is a powerful tool that rotates a replaced drill bit to make a hole in
wood, plastic, or metal. Alternatively, a screwdriver tip can be installed to
turn the screw.
c. HAND DRILL- This is a tool used with drills or bits found around the tang. The tang is the end
of the bit of which is held in the brace.

CUTTING TOOLS - a tool used for cutting materials

a. CROSSCUT SAW - This is a type of cutting tool used to cut the grain of the wood.

b. HACKSAW- This is a tool used for cutting metal, plastic, or pipe.

c. PIPE CUTTER- This is a tool used for cutting pipe and tube.
d. PIPE REAMER- Is a tool used for cleaning the inside portion of the pipe and tube to remove
the burst and chips

e. PIPE THREADER-is a tool used for threading the pipe.

DRIVING TOOLS - tools used for pushing in (driving in) nails, and screws into
position

a. CLAW HAMMER -is a tool used for pulling and driving the nails from some other object.

b. CROW BAR -is a tool consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points,
often with a small fissure on one or both ends for removing nails.

c. SCREWDRIVER- is a tool used to insert and tighten, or to loosen and remove, screw.
HOLDING TOOLS - a tool that firmly holds any material together

a. ADJUSTABLE SPANNER/WRENCH -is a tool that can loosen and tighten a nut or bolt. It has a
“jaw” of adjustable size, allowing different nuts and bolts sizes.

b. BASIN WRENCH -is a specialized tool that allows one to reach a tight spot under the sink and
basin. The jaw of the basin wrench can not only be adjusted to accommodate
nuts of different sizes but it can also be flipped over the opposite side to keep it
turning without removing the wrench.

c. BENCH VISE - a tool with a mechanical screw apparatus used for holding or clamping a work
piece to allow work to be performed on it which uses an anchor. Bench vise or
vice has one fixed jaw and another, parallel, jaw which is moved towards or away
from the fixed jaw by the screw.

d. CLAMP - is a tool used to grip and hold an object firmly such

as wood, paper, plastic, and some metals for a
short period time.
e. PIPE WRENCH OR STILLSON WRENCH - is an adjustable wrench used for turning soft iron
pipes fittings with a rounded surface. The design of the adjustable jaw allows it to rock in the
frame such that any forward pressure on the handle tends to pull the jaw tighter together.

MEASURING TOOLS - Measure the length, width, or thickness, and diameter of

objects but also checking of the shape – things like flatness, straightness,
roundness, or squareness.

a. INSIDE CALIPER- is a tool used to measure the internal size of an object.

b. OUTSIDE CALIPER- is a tool used to measure the external size of an object.

c. STEEL SQUARE- is a tool used by carpenters and other tradesmen. It consists a
large arm and a smaller arm that meets at an angle of 90˚.Today the steel square
is commonly referred to as the framing square.

d. TRY SQUARE- is a woodworking or metalworking tool used for marking/measuring a piece of

wood. It is primarily used to measure the accuracy of the right angle (90˚ degrees) tried on
any surface so as to check its straightness or correspondence to an adjoining surface.

e. PULL-PUSH RULE- is a flexible tape measure which is available in lengths up to 50 feet.

Other tapes that are 12 to 25 feet are usually considered adequate. Most tapes have an
automatic power return that is useful but not necessary.
 TESTING TOOLS -a tool used to determine if the part is plumb (vertical) or level
(horizontal)

a. PLUMB BOB- is a tool used for testing, and surveying to position

a point on the ground that is not readily visible. A Plumb bob is a

weight with a pointed tip at the bottom that is suspended from a

string and used as a vertical reference line.

b. SPIRIT LEVEL- refers to the tool that indicates (two and three bubble levels) the standard for

most leveling needs. The edge can be used as a straight edge, laid flat against a vertical surface,

a level which can determine both horizontal and vertical levels.
