PROPER TOOL SELECTION

A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Tools range from a traditional
metal cutting part of a machine to an element of a computer program that activates and controls
a particular function.
Preparing for the task to be undertaken includes proper tool selection.
How do you select the best tool for the job? First, know and understand in detail the scope of work
to be accomplished, second, plan for the scope taking into account the sequence of tasks.
1. Selecting the best tool for each task requires training in the proper use of the tools, field
experience in their safe use, and following the manufacturer’s guidance and instructions for
that specific tool.
2. When obtaining the tool all the associated tooling and consumable parts, as recommended
by the manufacturer, must be included. In addition, related consumable parts must also be
selected and used according to their manufacturer’s instructions.
Safe Use of tools

Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not all tools come
with detailed instructions, but there are those that do spell out the safety ―Do’s and Don’ts‖ for
your safety. If there are set-up/use options, operator judgment must always be based on what is
the safest way to use the tool.
Environmental Safety and Health Program requires the following:
• All tools be kept in good condition with regular maintenance
• The right tool be used for the job
• Each tool be examined before use AND damaged or defective tools NOT to be used
• Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions
• The right protective equipment for the tool and activity be used
HARDWARE TOOLS
To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should contain all of the
necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which tools to have available for different
types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into these four categories:
• Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools
• Hand tools
• Cleaning tools
• Diagnostic tools
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools
Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric,
and etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge suspended particles and cause the buildup of
static electrical charges on people and objects in the environment. Grounded antistatic work mats
used with antistatic wrist straps provide the most basic means for the controlled discharge of
electrostatic electricity. Examples of ESD Tools:
Anti-static wrist strap – used to prevent ESD damage to

computer equipment.
Anti-static mat – used to stand on or place hardware on to
prevent static electricity from building up.
Hand Tools
A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system using only
hands. The hand tools can be manually used employing force, or electrically powered, using
electrical current.
Examples of Hand Tools:
Flat head screwdriver – used to loosen or tighten slotted screws.
Philips head screwdriver – used to loosen or tighten crosshead
screws.
Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten screws that

have a star-like depression on the top, a feature that is
mainly found on laptop.
Hex driver – sometimes called a nut driver, is used to

tighten nuts in the same way that a screwdriver tightens
screws.
Needle-nose plier – used to hold small parts.
Wire cutter – used to strip and cut wires.
Tweezers – used to manipulate small parts.
Part retriever – used to retrieve parts from location that

.
are too small for your hand to fit.
Flashlight – used to light up areas that you cannot see well.
Cleaning Tools
Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or repairing
computers. Using these tools ensures that computer components are not damaged during
cleaning. Examples:
Lint-free cloth – used to clean different computer components
without scratching or leaving debris.
Compressed air – used to blow away dust and debris from

different computer parts without
touching the components.

Cable ties – used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a
computer.
Parts organizer – used to hold screw, jumpers, fasteners and
other small parts and prevents them from

getting mixed together.
Diagnostic Tools
Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of hardware
and operating system update, but that doesn't mean they're problem-free. Here's the most
popular tools for diagnosing your computer problems:
Multimeter – used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality

of electricity in computer components.
Loopback Adapter – used to test the functionality of computer
ports.
Proper Use of ESD Tools

The purpose of an antistatic wrist strap is to equalize the
electrical charge between you and the equipment. The antistatic wrist
strap is a conductor that connects your body to the equipment that
you are working on. When static electricity builds up in your body, the
connection made by the wrist strap to the equipment, or ground,
channels the electricity through the wire that connects the strap.
The wrist strap has two parts and is easy to wear:
1. Wrap the strap around your wrist and secure it using the snap or
Velcro. The metal on the back of the wrist strap must remain in contact with your skin at all
times.
2. Snap the connector at the end of the wire to the wrist strap, and connect the other end either
to the equipment or to the same grounding point that the antistatic mat is connected to. The
metal skeleton of the case is a good place to connect the wire. When connecting the wire to
equipment that you are working on, choose an unpainted metal surface. A painted surface
does not conduct the electricity as well as unpainted metal.
An antistatic mat is slightly conductive. It works by drawing static electricity away from a
component and transferring it safely from equipment to a grounding point:
1. Lay the mat on the workspace next to or under the computer case.
2. Clip the mat to the case to provide a grounded surface on which you can place parts as you
remove them from the system.
Reducing the potential for ESD reduces the likelihood of damage to delicate circuits or
components.

ACTIVITY 13&14
DIRECTION: Accomplish the maintenance inspection checklist below. Put a check

mark on the column which states an action taken.
ACTIVITY 15
DIRECTION: Check the vulnerability or stability of your network connection, go to the

internet and download a free network diagnostic tool.
• Go to any search engine and type — network diagnostic tool.

• After downloading the application, run the setup file of the program and install it into
your computer.
• If the program was already installed, run the application. TAKE NOTE OF THE
DIAGNOSIS. Do some action if there are problems or errors encountered.
NOTE: Don’t forget to attach your diagnosis in our google classroom in Activity 15. It can be
handwritten or printed.
