 BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

Hand tool is an any tool that use the power by the hand of a human being
rather than motor. Each area in Technology Livelihood Education-
Vocational (TLE-Voc.) have different tool use-both common/standard tool
and specified tool for a particular area in TLE-Voc. Wherein Electronics
one of the area in TLE-Voc, uses common tool such as long nose plier,
screwdriver and etc. and also in this area have a tool that specified only in
this area

Electronics Hand tools

In learning electronics theory is not enough, you need to practice or put
and learn it from the actual application. While engaging in different actual
application in electronics you must prepare the right tools to use. Electronics
hand tools categories into six (6) classification and these are:

• Soldering Tools • Splicing/Holding Tools

• Boring Tools • Cutting Tools
• Driving Tools • Auxiliary Tools

Category Name of tool Actual Picture Definition

Soldering Soldering used in joining two or
Tools iron more electronics
components, terminals
and connecting wires
on PCB.
(25W-30W)
Soldering used in soldering work
Gun requiring higher
temperature like direct
chassis soldering
(100W-140W)
Soldering
Stand used to hold/support
heated soldering iron
when in used

Desoldering used to remove

tool/pump soldering lead when a
component is to be
removed from the PCB
where it is soldered
Boring Minidrill used to drill small holes
Tool through PCB, wood, or
plastic.
- A 12V output, 1/32 –
1/16 diameter of drill
bits

Driving Screwdriver used to drive in and

Tool take out screws.
• philip – crossed
• standard – flat

Standard Screwdriver

Philip Screwdriver
Splicing Side Cutter used mainly for
/Holding Pliers gripping, bending,
Tools cutting electronic
components terminals
and wires.

Long Nose used for holding small

plier parts (nipper type) and
positioning hard to get
at places.

*crooked – bend nose

plier

Wire Stripper pair 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.
Cutting Artist Cutter used in cutting and
Tools removing unnecessary
covering of phenolic in
process of making PCB
of a circuit.
Reamer
used for enlarging the
size of previously drilled
holes (rotary cutting
tool).

Needle File
used in enlarging small
holes rounding the
edges an aluminum
chassis, making square
or rectangular holes
and smoothing the
surfaces of plastic,
wood and metals.

Auxiliary Paint Brush used in cleaning

Tools components mounted in
PCB.

use in removing dust

inside and outside of
electronics apparatus.
Magnifying
Glass used to magnify or
increase the image of
tiny objects or letters to
be easily recognized.
Common Faults in Using Hand Tools

Pliers
• Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage.
Use a larger pair of pliers or bolt cutters if necessary.
• Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts.
Pliers cannot grip these items properly and might cause a slip and
create an accident.
• Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to
result in cracks or breaks.
• Cut hardened wires only with pliers designed for that purpose.
• Always cut the wires in right angle. Never rock from side to side or
bend wire back and forth against the cutting edges.
Screwdrivers
• Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or
scraper.
• Never use screwdrivers with broken or worn-out handles.
Screwdrivers of these kinds should have tags to indicate that it is
defective.
• Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench
or screwdrivers specifically designed for purpose.
• Utility Knives/ Blades
• Do not use dull blades because they require more force, thus are
more likely to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead
of cut.
• Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed.
• Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans
or loosen tight cover of containers. Blades are brittle and can snap
easily.

USING TOOLS BASED ON THEIR FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION

• Whenever you perform a task in the workshop you must use

personal protective clothing and equipment (PPE) that are
appropriate for the task and which conforms with your local safety
regulations and policies. Your skill in using tools and equipment will
make your work less difficult and ensure that tasks are performed
properly and safely
• Use the proper type and size of screwdriver by matching it to the
screw.
• Phillips and Flat Head are the most common types.
• Do not over tighten screws because the threads may become
stripped.
