Let Us Discover
In engaging yourself in any activity on
your computer you should know first the
different kinds and appropriate tools in fixing
or doing something on it. In computer application, the usage of proper hand tools and
equipment is very essential. The following hand tools are usually being prepared and used
especially in fixing or troubleshooting a computer equipment or devices.

Malfunctioning or Faulty Tools

Different Hand Tools has a variety of non-powered devices such as pliers, hammers,
and screwdrivers. These tools may seem harmless, but using malfunctioning or faulty tools
may cause injuries or accidents especially among beginners.
The two most common hazards associated with the use of Hand Tools are misuse
and improper maintenance.

• Misuse occurs when a hand tool is used for something other than its intended
purpose. (An example would be using screwdriver as a chisel. This may cause
the tip to break and strike someone).
• Improper maintenance allows hand tools to deteriorate into an unsafe condition.
(Example would include cracked wooden handles that allow the tool head to fly off
or mushroomed heads that can shatter upon impact.
• Specially designed tools may be needed in hazardous environments. (Always
use non-sparking tools in the presence of flammable vapors and dusts. Insulated
tools with appropriate ratings must be used for electrical work).

The following are some of the best practices in using safe tools:
Pliers:

• Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to result in
cracks or breaks.
• Cut hardened wire only with pliers designed for that purpose.
• Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a larger
pair of pliers or bolt cutters.
• Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts. Pliers cannot
grip these items properly and will slip.

Screwdrivers:

• Always use screwdriver tip that properly fits the slot of the screw.
• Keep away screwdrivers with broken or worn handles.
• Use magnetic or screw-holding screwdrivers to start fasteners in tight areas.
• Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench or
screwdrivers specifically designed to accept them.

 Utility Knives/ Blades:

• Always use a sharp blade. Dull blades require more force and thus are more
likely to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of cut.
• Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed. Consider using a
selfretracted knife with a spring-loaded black.
• Keep your free hand away from the line of the cut.
• Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans or pay loose
objects. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.
