 What I Need to Know

I know that you are excited to learn today

This module contains information and suggested learning activities on the

preparation of electric materials and tools. It includes instructions and procedure on
how to prepare appropriate tools and materials needed in electrical wiring
installation; in storing unused and surplus electrical materials upon completion of the
job; and maintaining and storing basic tools and equipment.

This module consists of two (2) learning outcomes. Each learning outcome contains
learning activities with instruction sheets. Before you start, read well the information
sheets; answer the self-check; and do the activities provided by your teacher to
assess your competence. He/she will check if you have acquired the knowledge
necessary to perform the skill portion of the particular learning outcome.

 What is It

ELECTRICAL TOOLS AND MATERIALS

Pliers. They could be with insulated or uninsulated handles. The handle insulation is
not considered sufficient protection alone. Other safety precaution must be
observed. The common types of pliers are:

Slip joint Diagonal cutting Side cutting

Retainer ring Long nose Snap ring

Screw drivers are used to drive and pull out screws. They come in various sizes
and shapes and with either sharp or square tips. The width of the screw driver
should match the width of the screw slot. Common types of screw drivers are:

Standard type Philips Offset

3
 Wire puller (fish wire) is EMT bender is a tool used to
used to pull wires into bend electrical metal tubing
the conduit or raceway.

Drilling Equipment is needed to make holes in building structure for passage of

wires and conduit in both new and old installation, indoor or outdoor wiring. Common
types of drilling tools and equipment are:

Electric drill Auger brace Hand drill

Gimlet Drill bits masonry bit

Soldering tools are used Soldering gun Blow torch

in making splices and taps connections of wires

4
Hammers are used to drive and pull out nails. They are made of either hard steel or
plastic. A claw hammer with fiberglass insulated handle is specially designed for
Electrician’s. Common examples of hammer are:

Claw hammer Ball peen hammer Mallet (Plastic or rubber hammer

Measuring Tools and Instrument. The electrician uses the following measuring
tools and devices to measure value of voltage, current and resistance, wire length,
opening sizes of wire, conduit and other items.

Steel Tape(push/pull roll) Wire gauge Vernier caliper

Multitester Voltmeter Ammeter

Galvano meter Micrometer

Clamp meter
