Qualification:
Welcome to the module “using hand tools”. This module contains training
materials and activities for you to complete.
The unit of competency “Use Hand Tools” contains the knowledge, skills
and attitudes required for Electronic Product Assembly and Servicing
course required to obtain the National Certificate (NC) level II.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.
You may already have some basic knowledge and skills covered in this
module. If you can demonstrate competence to your teacher in a particular
skill, talk to him/her so you do not have to undergo the same training again. If
you have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings,
show it to him/her. If the skills you acquired are consistent with and relevant
to this module, they become part of the evidence. You can present these for
RPL. If you are not sure about your competence skills, discuss this with your
teacher.

PLAN AND PREPARE FOR TASKS TO BE UNDERTAKEN
Introduction
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.
Learning objectives:
After reading this information sheet the trainee must be able to:
1. Identify tools needed assembling and servicing electronic products.
2. Determine the used and function of tools used in assembling and
servicing electronic products
Advantages of using the proper tools
1. Efficiency of the work
2. High quality of work is achieved
3. Speed of accomplishment is faster
4. Accuracy
Types of tools
There are three main types of tools/equipment in the shop. One type is
known as hand tools because your hand supplies the energy to operate them.
The other type is called machine or power tools/equipment. Electricity,
compressed air, or hydraulic pressure operates these tools. This type is referred
to as power tools. Electronics has its own special tools and supplies. For
starters, you'll need a basic set of hand tools. Most electronic work is relatively
small, so you don't need huge heavy-duty tools.
Hand tools
2. Hammers are the ones you use most in the shop. They should be gripped
on the end of the handle.
3. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a
pivot so that items of various sizes can be gripped.
4. Wrenches are used to turn screws and nuts and bolts with hexagonal
heads. “Hexagonal” means six-sided. A variety of wrenches is used in the
shop.
5. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from
blind holes, and cylinders’ liners from the engine blocks.
Tools can be also classified according to their uses. Tools used in assembling,
and servicing electronic products can be classified as:
1. splicing tools 3. soldering tools
2. driving tools 4. boring tools and cutting tools
SPLICING TOOLS
Needle Nose pliers - Mainly used to hold small wire and
parts when your figures just can't do it. Get a small set of
needle-nose pliers with thin jaws for working with small
parts, and a larger set for bigger jobs. Most electronic work,
you'll depend on needle - nose pliers, which are especially
adopt at working with wires — bending and twisting them,
pushing
them through holes, and so on.
