could be made in different methods, as prescribed in the competency standards.
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your instructors for assistance.
Your instructor will always be available to assist you during the training.
You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered in this
module because you have:
been working for some time

INFORMATION SHEET 3.1-1
Learning Objective: After reading this information sheet, trainee will be able to
To classify the different types of tools and equipment needed in installation
Screw drivers
Standard Phillips
Stubby Torx
Wrenches
Combination Adjustable
Pliers
Diagonal cutters
Hammers
Files

Handles
b. Use screwdrivers that have undamaged tips. Discard screwdrivers with worn
tips because they can damage both slot and Phillips-head screws.
d. When prying downward with a pry bar, place both hands flat above the bar
so that if the bar slips, you will not smash a hand on the floor or a piece of
equipment.
f. Do not use pliers in place of a wrench. In air conditioning work, use pliers
with insulated handles.
g. Keep hammer handles tight and use the proper hammer for the job.
h. Keep points and heads on punches and chisels in good shape. Grind chisel
heads to keep them from mushrooming.
i. Keep files in a wall rack because if they are kept loose in a drawer, they will
become dull.

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, the trainee will
be able to identify the types of measuring instruments
Below are recommended practice to identify defective and non-defective hand tools.
Defective tools can easily be separated from functional one through visual
inspection. The appearance of tools will describe such characteristics like
dullness, sharpness, dismantled parts, and unevenness of the teeth of the
cutting tools.
2. Functionality:
3. Performance:
Performance of hand tools is determined after the actual use has been tested
and evaluated, and the outcomes will be the basis if the hand tools are still
worth for work.
4. Service span:
Hand tools are issued to the shop teacher at one time. However, this must be
recorded to determine when it was received and how long were the tools kept in
the shop. A hand tool that’s too old is unsafe for the students and workers.
LET’S REMEMBER
There are many ways of identifying and classifying hand tools and materials.
One of the most used techniques is identifying them according to its function and use.
However, the awareness on the conditions of these tools, equipment, supplies and
materials must be the safety concern of the practitioner in performing basic bench
work.
