HAND TOOLS AND POWER TOOL

USING HAND TOOLS, POWER TOOLS, INSTRUMENTS, AND EQUIPMENT UTILIZED IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS SERVICES

HAND TOOLS

  • Hand tools are powered manually instead of using electricity or other external power sources.

  • Common areas of usage include metalwork, woodworking, and auto repair.

Types of Hand Tools

  1. Hammer

    • Most frequently used for driving nails in, forming, fracturing, or nailing objects together.

    • Example: Stalwart 16oz Hammer.

  2. Screwdrivers

    • Used for driving screws into position.

    • Types of Screwdrivers:

      • Flathead

      • Phillips

      • Torx

      • Robertson

      • Hex

      • Pozidriv

      • Security

      • Allen

      • Clutch

      • Square Drive

  3. Wrenches

    • Used to provide grip and mechanical advantage when applying torque to turn or stop rotary fasteners like nuts and bolts.

POWER TOOLS

  • Power tools require an additional power source, such as compressed air or electricity, to operate.

Types of Power Tools

  1. Hydraulic Tools

    • Utilize the force created by pressurized fluids.

    • Components:

      • Hydraulic Jack: Applies hydraulic pressure to raise heavy loads, e.g., machinery or cars.

      • Hydraulic Pump: Produces hydraulic pressure for additional instruments.

      • Hydraulic Cylinders: Mechanical actuators generating unidirectional force.

      • Hydraulic Hoses: High-pressure hoses for transferring force.

      • Hydraulic Power Units: Consist of a pump, reservoir, and motor.

  2. Pneumatic Tools

    • Air-powered tools.

    • Examples:

      • Air Wrenches: Quickly remove nuts and bolts.

      • Pneumatic Drill: Drills holes with compressed air.

      • Pneumatic Screwdriver: Drives screws into various materials.

      • Air Hammer: Cuts and breaks metal objects using compressed air.

      • Pneumatic Reciprocating Saw: Uses a push-pull motion to cut materials.

      • Air-Powered Sander: Smooths surfaces.

      • Grease Gun: Applies lubricant.

      • Caulk Gun: Seals joints and cracks.

      • Siphon Gun: Sprays paint or liquids.

      • Needle Scaler: Cleans metal surfaces of rust and old paint.

  3. Other Tools

    • Circular Saw: Cuts wood, masonry, and metal.

    • Track Saw: Plunge saw that slides on a guide rail for accurate cuts.

    • Reciprocating Saw: Versatile cutting tool.

    • Jigsaw: Cuts arbitrary curves in various materials.

    • Drills: Create holes in multiple materials.

    • Hammer Drill: Provides a quick hammering action for tough materials.

    • Impact Driver: Loosens overtightened or corroded screws and nuts.

    • Electric Screwdriver: Rotates screws efficiently.

    • Angle Grinder: Polishes and grinds surfaces.

    • Belt Sander: Finishes and shapes wood and other materials.

    • Orbital Sander: Sands by spinning a disk in ellipses.

    • Rotary Tool: Versatile tool with a rotating tip for various attachments.

    • Router: Hollows out sections of hard workpieces like wood or plastic.
