SCREWDRIVERS
 arehand tools specifically designed
to insert and tighten, or to loosen
and remove screws.
 TYPES OF
SCREWDRIVERS
SLOTTED SCREWDRIVER
 is used to drive or fasten
negative slotted screws.
- is its flat, blade-like tip.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER

is used to drive or fasten positive slotted

screws.
It is a screwdriver that could take greater
torque and could provide tighter
fastenings.
 JEWELER'S SCREWDRIVER SET
-is a set of small screw drivers composed of
slotted and Phillips screwdrivers.
- For small screws and complicated work
such as watches, cellular phones and other
small gadgets.
SPLICING TOOLS
splice - Computer Definition
A permanent or semi-permanent connection
between two conductors or cables.
A splice in a twisted pair cable is
accomplished by mechanical means
involving various types of crimps and
crimping tools, and is permanent.
 LONG NOSE

is used for holding, bending, and stretching

the lead of electronic component or
connecting wires.
 SIDE CUTTER

is a wire-cutting pliers, though they are not

used to grab or turn anything, but
are used to cut wires.
WIRE STRIPPER
 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.
CUTTING TOOLS
UTILITY KNIFE

is a common tool used in cutting various

trades and crafts for a variety of
purposes.
HACKSAW
is used for cutting metals. Some 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.
AUXILIARY TOOLS
MAGNIFYING GLASS

is a convex lens which is used to produce a

magnified image of an object.

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. Some
magnifying glasses are foldable with built-in
light.
PAINT BRUSH

circuit or an object aside from using it for
painting.

 Extension Cords

Are very useful at home since they give

additional power outlets needed where one
needs it.
> They also allow you to move freely with the
gadget instead of being confined near the
main power source.
 Steps in Making Extension Cords

Materials

 Electric wire ( depending on your desired length)

 Outlet

 Plug

 Hand tools (screwdriver, pliers and utility knife or cutter )

 Doorbells
Are essential at home since it is a
tool that communicates to the
owner that there is someone at the
door.
 Plugs

Are device that connect

to the primary power
supply.
 Lampshades

-provide illumination
to small spots in the
house
-usually found inside
the bedroom and
living room..
Safety and Health Practices
Rules for care of hand tools

 There are many more hand and power

tools that electricians will use in
residential and commercial wiring.

 All tools should be used only for the

purpose intended.

 It is the electrician’s responsibility to

keep his or her tools sharp, clean, and
lubricated.
 A well maintained tool has a longer life
and is safer than an improperly
maintained tool.
 Repair tools when possible, but discard
worn or damaged tools.

 Factors For Purchasing Tools

Factors to consider when purchasing

tools are size, design, and quality.

 Always purchase the correct sized

tools for the work to be done.
 Tools should be designed specifically
for electrical work. Ex: Insulated
handles, hammers with straight
claws.
 The purchase of quality tools last
longer which saves replacement cost.

 Remember

 Select the right tool for the job.

 Keep tools clean, lubricated, and in good

working condition.

 Purchase good quality tools they are safer

and will last longer.

 Repair tools when possible, but discard worn

or damaged tools.

Safety and Health Practices

1. Use only proper tools and equipment for the

task at hand and power tools.
2. Do not pull the cord to disconnect the plug
from the socket.
3. Keep cords away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
4. Wear proper clothing for the task. Do not
wear loose clothing, ties and long necklace or
bracelets that can get caught in moving parts.
5. Make sure to work in a well-lighted area.
6. Use gloves and appropriate safety
footwear when using electric tools.
 7. Use only tools and equipment that are

 Connect the two lines by twisting
them together
 Cover the twisted wires with
electrical tape
Worn out plug
 Take off the plug out of the cord or cut
the wire.
 Separate the cord and scrape the
insulation or covering by about half an
inch,
