Presentation

The importance of tools in PC hardware servicing is you can use them for prevent static electricity, for
cleaning, to diagnose the equipment, and driven by hand.

Use of tools in PC hardware Sevicing:

Electo Static Discharge

Anti static wrist strap

An antistatic wrist strap, ESD wrist strap, or ground bracelet is an antistatic device used to
safely ground a person working on very sensitive electronic equipment, to prevent the
buildup of static electricity on their body, which can result in electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Anti static mat

An anti-static floor mat or ground mat is an anti-static device that safeguards an individual
or piece of equipment like a PC from an electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Hand Tools

Flat Screwdriver

Used to tighten or loosen a negative screw

 Philips Screwdriver

Used to tighten or loosen a positive screw

Torx Screwdriver

Torx (pronounced /tɔːrks/), developed in 1967 by Camcar Textron, is the trademark for
a type of screw head
characterized by a 6-point star-shaped pattern. A popular generic name for the drive is star,
as in star screwdriver or star bits.

Hex driver

A screw drive is a system used to turn a screw. At a minimum, it is a set of shaped cavities and
protrusions on the screw head that allows torque to be applied to it. Usually, it also involves a
mating tool, such as a screwdriver, that is used to turn it.

Needle nose pliers

Some models have a cutting tool at the tip, especially for cutting wires and electrical work.
Although they're commonly used to cut and bend small wires and electrical wiring,
needle-nose pliers have other uses, as well. They can bend, cut and grip where fingers and
other tools are too big or clumsy.

Wire cutter

a tool for cutting wire.

Tweezers

tweezers are small tools used for picking up objects too small to be easily handled with
the human fingers. The word is most likely derived from tongs, pincers, or scissors-like
pliers used to grab or hold hot objects since the dawn of recorded history. In a scientific
or medical context they are normally referred to as forceps.
 Part Retriever

A 3-Pronged Parts Retriever, also known as a Pearl-Catcher, is a useful tool in the

world of computers and is essential to a computer technician's toolkit.

Flashlight

used to light up dark areas that you cannot see well

Cleaning Tools

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
component.

Parts Organizer

used to hold screw, jumpers, fastener,and other small parts and prevents them from getting
mixed together

Cable tie

used to bundle cables nearly inside and outside of a computer

Diagnostic Tools

Multitester

A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter), is an electronic

measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical
multimeter can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog multimeters use a
microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings.

Loopback adapter

The loopback device is a special, virtual network interface that your computer uses
to communicate with itself. It is used mainly for diagnostics and troubleshooting, and
to connect to servers running on the local machine.
