 HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING MODULE?

Welcome to the module “using hand tools”. This module contains training
materials and activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency “Use Hand Tools” contains the knowledge, skills
and attitudes required for Electronic Product Assembly and Servicing
course required to obtain the National Certificate (NC) level II.

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to

complete each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning
outcome there are Information Sheets, Job Sheets, Operation Sheets and
Activity Sheets. Do these activities on your own and answer the Self- Check at
the end of each learning activity?

If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some basic knowledge and skills covered in this
module. If you can demonstrate competence to your teacher in a particular
skill, talk to him/her so you do not have to undergo the same training again. If
you have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings,
show it to him/her. If the skills you acquired are consistent with and relevant
to this module, they become part of the evidence. You can present these for
RPL. If you are not sure about your competence skills, discuss this with your
teacher.

 After completing this module, ask your teacher to assess your competence.
Result of your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the
learning activities are designed for you to complete at your own pace.
In this module, you will find the activities for you to complete and relevant
information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome may
have more than one learning activity.

This module is prepared to help you achieve the required competency in

receiving and relaying information. This will be the source of information that
will enable you to acquire the knowledge and skills in Electronic Product
Assembly and Servicing NC II independently at your own pace with minimum
supervision from your teacher.

Introduction
Tools are defined as implements used to modify raw materials for human
use. Tools can be considered as extension of the human hand thereby
increasing its speed, power, and accuracy.

Learning objectives:
After reading this information sheet the trainee must be able to:
1. Identify tools needed assembling and servicing electronic products.
2. Determine the used and function of tools used in assembling and
servicing electronic products
Advantages of using the proper tools
1. Efficiency of the work
2. High quality of work is achieved
3. Speed of accomplishment is faster
4. Accuracy

Types of tools
There are three main types of tools/equipment in the shop. One type is
known as hand tools because your hand supplies the energy to operate them.
The other type is called machine or power tools/equipment. Electricity,
compressed air, or hydraulic pressure operates these tools. This type is referred
to as power tools. Electronics has its own special tools and supplies. For
starters, you'll need a basic set of hand tools. Most electronic work is relatively
small, so you don't need huge heavy-duty tools.
Hand tools

They include screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, wrenches and pullers.

1. Screwdrivers are used to drive, or turn screws. The most common type has
a single flat blade for driving screws with slotted heads.

2. Hammers are the ones you use most in the shop. They should be gripped
on the end of the handle.

3. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a
pivot so that items of various sizes can be gripped.

4. Wrenches are used to turn screws and nuts and bolts with hexagonal
heads. “Hexagonal” means six-sided. A variety of wrenches is used in the
shop.

5. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from
blind holes, and cylinders’ liners from the engine blocks.

Tools can be also classified according to their uses. Tools used in assembling,
and servicing electronic products can be classified as:
1. splicing tools 3. soldering tools
2. driving tools 4. boring tools and cutting tools

SPLICING TOOLS
Needle Nose pliers - Mainly used to hold small wire and
parts when your figures just can't do it. Get a small set of
needle-nose pliers with thin jaws for working with small
parts, and a larger set for bigger jobs. Most electronic work,
you'll depend on needle - nose pliers, which are especially
adopt at working with wires — bending and twisting them,
pushing
them through holes, and so on.

Long nose pliers - is used for holding, bending, and

stretching the lead of electronic component or
splicing wires.

Diagonal Cutters - used to cut wires and especially the

wires sticking out from the bottom of a circuit board after
soldering a part in place

Duckbill pliers - resemble a “duck’s bill” in that the jaws

are thin, flat, and shaped like a duck’s bill. They are used
exclusively for twisting safety wire.
 Stripping Tool
Wire Strippers - are pairs of opposing blades much
like scissors or wire cutters. The addition of a center
notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without
cutting the wire.

There are auxiliary tools which are also used in electronic product assembly and
servicing.
