TLE 8 LESSON1

• Hand Tools - manipulated by hands without using electrical energy
• Screw Drivers - used to loosen or tighten screws with slotted heads
• Screw Drivers: Standard /Flat Screwdriver - blade tip is wedge-shaped and resembles a negative sign. used to drive screws with a single slot head
• Screwdrivers: Philips Screwdriver - has a cross tip resembling a positive sign. used to drive screws with slot heads
• Screwdrivers: Wrench - could be in the shape of a screwdriver or a wrench. its function is to drive screw with hexagonal slot head
• Hammers - tools used in driving or pounding and pulling out nails. made of hard steel, wood, plastic or rubber
• Three Types of Hammers

  • Claw
  • Mallet
  • Ball peen
• Pliers - used for cutting, twisting, bending, holding, and gripping wires and cables
• Pliers: Combination Pliers (Lineman's Pliers) - used for gripping, holding, and cutting electrical wires, cables, and even small nails
• Pliers: Side Cutting Pliers - type of pliers is used for cutting fine, medium, and big wires and cables
• Pliers: Long Nose Pliers - can reach tight space or small opening where other pliers cannot reach and also used in making terminal loops of copper wires
• Wire Strippers - tool used for removing insulation of medium sized wires
• Machine / Power Tools - tools manipulated by our hands and with the use of electrical energy
• Portable Electric Drill - small drilling machine. used in making holes on metal sheets and concrete walls
• Grinding Wheel - either have a grinding wheel, view wheel, or two grinding
• Pneumatic Tools - tools or instruments activated by air pressure
• Torque Wrench - uses compressed air to quickly and powerfully turn nuts, bolts, and other objects
• Air Drill - lighter than a comparable electric drill, repeatedly stalling or overloading does not damage or overheat this drill
• Measuring Tools - finding the measurements of the given objects
• Test Light - pocket size tool used to test the line wire or circuit if there is current in it
• Wire Gauge - used in determining the size of wires/conductors. ranges from 0 to 60 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
• AWG - American Wire Gauge ; the larger the number, the smaller the wite diameter and thickness
• Ruler/Foot Rule - measuring tool used to measure length, width, and thickness of short flat object and in sketching straight lines
• Pull-Push Rule - measuring tool used to measure the length of an object in centimeter and inches
• Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) - called as a Multi-tester , used to measure the voltage, resistance and current of a circuit
