• Screwdrivers

  -Tools made of steel and classified according to its tip and used to loosen or tighten screws
• philips screwdriver Also known as crossed-tip screwdriver or positive (+) head screwdriver and used to drive screws with cross slot head
• Standard screwdrivers Also known as flathead screwdriver and has a tip that resembles a negative (-) sign and used to drive screws with a single slot head
• Stuby screwdrivers

  Either standard or philips tip but the distinguishing part is the short handle and shank used for tight spaces
• Claw hammer It is the most commonly used hammer with a flat face used for pounding or driving nails and a claw on the other end used for pulling out nails.
• Pliers

  Tools made of metal with rubber insulated handles used for holding, gripping and cutting wires
• PLIERS

  Combination Pliers

  Also known as lineman's pliers and used for holding, gripping and cutting wires
• PLIERS

  Long Nose Pliers

  used for holding, gripping and cutting fine wires with an elongated and which is used to reach tight spaces or small openings, it can also make terminal loops for wires
• PLIERS

  Diagonal Cutting Pliers

  This type of pliers is specifically used for cutting wires
• Wire Stripper

  used for removing wire insulation of medium wire sizes (#10-#16 AWG)
• Hacksaw Primarily used to cut electrical conduits
• Convenience outlet A device which serves as source of electrical energy for electrical appliances, it is basically a device with slots where an appliance plug is inserted. There are two common types of convenience outlet such as:
• CONVENIENCE OUTLET Flush type These are convenience outlets that are embedded in the wall and the wirings are not exposed
• CONVENIENCE OUTLET Surface type A type of convenience outlet that is installed at the surface of the wall and the wirings are exposed, a typical example are those used in common extension cords
• Male Plug A device with metal prongs attached at the end of the cord of electrical appliances which is inserted to the slot of the convenience outlet.
• Lamp holders -Also known as sockets, it is where the bulb or lamp is inserted/secured and supplies electrical energy to energize the bulb
• LAMP HOLDERS Flush type A type of lamp holder wherein the wirings are not exposed or embedded in the ceiling
• LAMP HOLDERS Surface type A type of lamp holder wherein the wiring connections are exposed to and from the device
• Switch A device that connects and disconnects the flow of electric current in a circuit.
• SWITCH Flush type A type of switch wherein the wirings are not exposed or embedded in the wall
• SWITCH Surface type A type of switch wherein the wirings are exposed or visible in a wall or surface
• Overcurrent protective devices -used to protect the electrical circuit from dangerous effects of overload or short circuit
• OVERCURRENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES Fuse A disposable overcurrent protective device with a strip of wire that melts and cuts the flow of current in a circuit in case of overcurrent or short circuit
• OVERCURRENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES Circuit Breaker An overcurrent protective device which automatically blows and cuts (trip) the current when short circuit or overload occurs, once the fault is corrected, the circuit breaker may be turned and reuse
• Electrical Boxes - These may be made of metal or plastic PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride
• ELECTRICAL BOXES Junction Box An octagonal shaped electrical material where the connections or joints of wires are being done. It also where the flush type lamp holder is attached.
• ELECTRICAL BOXES Utility Box A rectangular shaped electrical box where flushed type convenience outlets and flushed type switches are attached or installed
• Flat Cord A duplex stranded wire commonly used in extension cord assembly and appliance cords, it may also be used for temporary wiring installation
• ELECTRICAL WIRES Solid Wire Made of single strand of copper or aluminum
• Electrical Wires Also known as electrical conductors made of copper or aluminum which are used in house wiring installations. Its size varies depending on its application or job specification There are two types of wires commonly used such as Stranded Wire and Solid Wire.
• ELECTRICAL WIRES Stranded Wire Made of multiple strands joined together to make a single wire.
• Electrical Conduits Also known as electrical pipes that serves as passage and protection of the wires. Depending on the materials used, There are different kinds of electrical conduits or pipes:
• ELECTRICAL CONDUITS Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) A thin-walled metal tubing which is less costly and lighter than RMC's
• ELECTRICAL CONDUITS Rigid Metallic Conduit (RMC) A thick-walled metal tubing which can be threaded
• ELECTRICAL CONDUITS Flexible Metallic Conduits(FMC) A flexible tubing made of thin metal
• ELECTRICAL CONDUITS Rigid Non Metallic Conduits Also known as PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride which is commonly available in orange color
• ELECTRICAL CONDUITS Flexible Non Metallic Conduits Also known as Corrugated Plastic Conduit (CPC) which is commonly available in orange color.
• Connectors Also known as adaptors are electrical materials used to connect or attach electrical conduits to electrical boxes, may either be made of metal or plastic
• Clamps Electrical materials used to hold and anchor electrical conduits in place which may be made of metal or plastic
• Rat Tail or Pig Tail - kind of joint is commonly used to join two or more conductors inside the junction box. It is suitable for service where there is no mechanical stress when wires are to be connected in an outlet box, switch, or conduit fitting.
