LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET 1

LO2. CLEAN AND STORE MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

Second Quarter Week 3

Background Information for Learners

It is better to own a few good tools than a number of poor ones. In acquiring tools, be guided by quality
and durability. Quality tools are known by their popular trade mark. But also consider that the life of any
drawing or measuring tools will depend on how well you take care of them. Drafting measuring tools should
be well maintained to continue working properly. Organizing and storing these items have a great deal to do
with keeping them in tiptop shape and good working condition. You can assure that your tools will last long if
you patiently and religiously take care of them.
Good workmanship is associated with the use of quality hand tools. Maintaining effective use of drafting
tools in the production of quality projects is the concern of every craftsman.
A good tool is a lifelong investment and the craftsman’s best friend. Treat it as such and you’ll be repaid a
thousand times through the results you will obtain from its use.
