BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Electrical tasks can be accomplished systematically to save time, effort and resources. Most
of the work cannot be done using bare hands. To the tasks, electrical tools and equipment
are needed to perform the job. A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or
accomplish a task, but tools are not consumed in the process. This activity will enhance you
to better understand what are the tools and equipment that are commonly used in the job of
electricity. The skills you will learn today will provide you a good foundation that you can use
for your future especially if you pursue those careers that will require knowledge and skills in
Electrical Installation and Maintenance

ACTIVITIES
Every electrician should have adequate tools, instruments, and equipment so he can work
efficiently, obtain better results, and save time and effort. He must maintain proper care of
these tools and equipment to ensure its good condition and accuracy. Using the right tool at
the right job is one of the most important things that we need to learn by identifying the
functions of each tool and equipment.

Type of tools
1. Hand tools - are tools manipulated by hand without using electrical energy such as:
puller, hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.

2. Machine/Power – tools are tools manipulated by our hands and with the use of
electrical energy such as: electric drill, grinding wheels, vacuum cleaner, and others.
3. Pneumatic tools – are tools or instruments activated by air pressure. Pneumatic
tools are designed around three basic devices: the air cylinder, the vane motor, and the
sprayer.
4. Hydraulic tools – are tools or instruments activated by fluid pressure. Examples:
hydraulic jack and hydraulic bender.
COMMON ELECTRICAL HAND TOOLS
Screwdrivers – these tools are made of steel hardened and tempered at the tip used
to loosen or tighten screw heads. They come in various shapes and sizes.
a. 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.
b. Philip Screwdriver – this has a cross tip representing a positive (+) sign. This is used
to drive screws with cross slot heads.
c. Stubby Screwdriver – it comes in either standard or Philip screwdriver with a short
shank used to turn screws in tight spaces where the standard screwdriver cannot be used.
d. Allen Screwdriver/Wrench – this could be in the shape of a screwdriver or a wrench.
Its function is to drive screws with a hexagonal slot head.
Hammers – These are tools used in driving and pulling out nails. They are made of hard
steel, wood, plastic, or rubber. The following are types of hammers:
a. Claw Hammer
b. Mallet (rubber head)
c. Ball Peen Hammer
Pliers – these are made from metal with insulators in the handle and are used for cutting,
twisting, bending, and gripping wires and cables.
a. Combination Pliers (Lineman’s Pliers) – this is used for gripping, holding, and cutting
even small nails. They are usually used by linemen in doing heavy tasks.
b. Side-cutting Pliers – this type of pliers is used for cutting fine, medium, and big wires
and cables.
c. Long nose Pliers – this is used for cutting and holding fine wires. This can reach tight
space or small openings where other pliers cannot reach and is also used in making terminal
loops of copper wires.
Wire Stripper – A tool used for removing insulation of medium
sized wires ranging from gauge #10 to gauge #16.
Electrician’s Knife – this is used by linemen to remove insulation of
wire and cables in low and high voltage transmission lines.
Hacksaw – this tool is used to cut metal conduit and armored cable.
MISCELLANEOUS TOOLS AND POWER TOOLS
Drop Head Ratchet Threader – the drop head ratchet threader is
found in virtually every toolbox. It is used to thread pipes. It has a
replaceable cutting die.
Pipe Reamer – it is used to remove burr inside the pipe after cutting
it using a pipe cutter. There are two types of reamers. The first one is
the spiral reamer, and the other is the straight flute reamer.
Conduit bender – this tool is used to bend conduit up to 90˚ bend. It
comes in a range of sizes from ½ to 1 inch.
Vises – the vise is sometimes called the third hand and is used to
hold firm the material to be worked on. The commonly used vises
are machinist’s vise and pipe vise. Machinist’s vises are

designed to withstand the strain in industrial work and similar applications. They are usually
available in jaw widths of 3 to 8 inches. Pipe vises are designed to hold round pipes.
