USING HAND TOOLS (UHT)
Quarter 2 – Week 2 & 3 Module
The module is divided into three lessons:
•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 build-
up of static electrical charges on people
and objects in the environment
Anti-static

Anti-static
mat
Hand Tools
A device for performing work on a material or a physical
system using only hands.
Cleaning Tools
Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when
maintaining or repairing computers
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
Use appropriate
hand tools and
test equipment
Proper Use Electro- Static Discharge
(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.
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
Proper Use of Hand Tools
• Screws - Match each screw with the proper screwdriver.
Place the tip of the screwdriver on the head of the screw.
Turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten the screw and
counter clockwise to loosen the screw.
• Flat head screwdriver - Use a flat head screwdriver when you
are working with a slotted screw. Do not use a flat head
screwdriver to remove a Phillips head screw
• Phillips head screwdriver - Use a Phillips head screwdriver
with crosshead screws.
- CAUTION: If excessive force is needed to remove or add a
component, something is probably wrong.
Proper Use of Hand Tools
• Hex driver - Use a hex driver to loosen and tighten bolts that
have a hexagonal (six-sided) head. Hex bolts should not be
over-tightened because the threads of the bolts can be
stripped.
- CAUTION: Some tools maybe magnetized, always check if its
magnetize because it can harm your data stored.
• Part retriever, Needle-nose pliers, or tweezers - can be
used to place and retrieve parts that may be hard to reach
with your fingers
- CAUTION: Pencils should not be used inside the computer to
change the setting of switches, it can may lead to short your
circuits inside your component. Pencils are a good conductor.
Proper Use of Cleaning Materials
• Keeping computers clean inside and out is a vital part of a
maintenance program. Dirt can cause problems with the
physical operation of fans, buttons, and other mechanical
components. an excessive build-up of dust will act like an
insulator and trap the heat.
Benefits:
• Tools and parts are kept in good condition are easy to find Costs
are reduced.
• Productivity is increased because time is not wasted looking for
tools, parts and equipment.
