TOOLS

TOOLS are defined as

implements used to modify raw
materials for human use. Tools can
be considered as extension of the
human hand thereby increasing its
speed, power, and accuracy.
Types of tools and equipment:

There are three main types of

tools/equipment in the shop.

1. Hand tools because your hand

supplies the energy to operate
them.
2. Machine or power tools/equipment
which use either electricity, compressed
air, or hydraulic pressure to make them
operate.

3. Measuring tools.
Advantages of using the proper
tools:

1. Efficiency of work
2. High quality of the work
3. Speed of accomplishment
However, these advantages depend on
three factors, namely:

1. Availability and sufficiency of the

materials
2. Experience and skill of the workers
in their respective fields

HOW DO WE PROPERLY
MAINTAIN AND STORE
HAND TOOLS?
 An important aspect of any business is
the maintenance and storage of tools
and equipment. The investment of 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 tool properly will increase the
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.

TOOLS &
EQUIPMENT
Electrical equipment includes any
machine powered by electricity. It
always consists of an enclosure, a
spread of electrical components,
and infrequently an influence
switch. IT equipment (computers,
printers etc.) Motors, pumps and
 A power tool could be a
tool that's actuated by an
extra power source and
mechanism apart from
the solely toil used with
hand tools.
 The foremost common
forms of power tools use
electric motors. Power
tools are classified as
either stationary or
portable, where portable
