A hand drill is a manual tool that is used to make holes in
various materials. It consists of a cranking handle that turns
pinion gears on the main shaft. A chuck at the end of the
shaft holds a drill bit.
Get the most out of your tools and ensure they live out their
expected shelf life by following these four best practices:
1. Clean your tools regularly.
Hand and power tools are prone to collecting grease and
dirt — a combination that could accelerate their wear and
tear rate. Most electrical and handyman tools may be made
from hard, high-tensile steel alloys, but they are still
susceptible to rust. When dirt clings on metal, it traps
moisture which can, in turn, promote oxidation and produce
rust.
The best way to clean your hand and power tools is to brush off loose dirt first
with a dry cloth. Use the appropriate cleaning agents to remove the grease.
Alternatively, you can use DIY cleaning formulas like hot water and vinegar. As
for power tools, use an air compressor carefully and blow a gust of air through
the tubes, vents, and crevices to remove the embedded dirt.
2. Store your tools properly.
Proper storage is just as important as regular cleaning. In fact, one of the best
practices for caring for hand and power tools is ensuring they are spotless before
putting them away. The reasons are the same as above: to prevent rusting and to
keep your tools in great shape for as long as possible.
The best place for storing power and hand tools is anywhere that’s dry and away
from dust, wire-gnawing critters, and other elements that could potentially harm
the tools’ metal and wiring components. Even better, store the smaller tools in a
heavy-duty toolbox with an organiser or compartments. This way, you can easily
reach for your tools when you’re working and save on storage space to boot.

3. Lubricate tools that need it.
Tools like portable punch and die sets, pneumatic nail guns,
adjustable wrenches, plunge routers, and circular saws need
lubrication because they have moving parts that rub against
metal surfaces. Without lubricating oil, the tools can wear
down quickly, starting from the point of contact.
To be clear, lubrication is different from the grease that you
need to wash off. Dirty grease is bad for your tools, while
lubricants or basic machine oil are formulated specifically to
stay on. Moreover, lubricants must be applied sparingly. Too
much would turn it into the dirt-trapping grease you don’t want
anywhere near your toolbox.
4. Check for damage.
One best practice you should never ever forget is checking for
damage on your tools, especially the ones that run on electricity,
pressurised gas, and diesel. Keep an eye out for loose cable
joints, exposed wires (i.e., the rubber coating is ripped or has
lots of tiny holes), and blunt points or edges. Wiring flaws are
fire and safety hazards, so you need to be mindful of them
when using your power tools.
These four steps can go a long way to ensuring that every item
in your toolbox is in great condition. Make the most of your tools
(and your investment) by caring for them regardless of the
price. Use this article as your guide.
Safety Precautions or Attitudes in the Workshop Basic Technology
– 2023 The following are the safety precautions or attitudes in the
workshop:
1. Obedience: Pupils must obey the instructions of their teachers at all times
2. Humility: Show respect to everybody and when you are in doubt about anything, ask
question.
3. Fiddling: Never play with any tool, equipment and machine in the workshop, such as
‘’ON/OFF” switch.
4. Horseplay: Do not run around in the workshop. Always, be patient and never rush.

6. Keep workshops clean and neat at all times.
7. Always use personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggle, boots, overall,
helmet.
8. Do not use chisels or files without handle.
9. Clean machines after use.
10. Do not give sharp objects to your workshop mates by throwing
or through the sharp-pointed edge.
11. Never put sharp objects to in your pockets. Keep them in tool
rack.
12. Do not wear loose dresses, neck-tie, watches, chains and rings
in the workshop.
13. Always use the right tools for the right job and in the correct
way.
14. Do not remove chips from machine/bench with bare hands. Use
wire brush.
15. After work, return all tools used. Keep tools in the tool rack.
Stop the machine and switch off power before leaving the
workshop.
