SCREW DRIVERS

These tools are made of steel hardened and

tempered at the tip used to loosen or tighten
screws with slotted heads. They come in
various sizes and shapes.
A. Standard/Flat Screw Driver

The blade tip is wedge-shaped and resembles

a negative (-) sign. This is used to drive screws
with a single slot head.
B. Philips Screw Driver

This has a cross tip resembling a positive (+)

sign. This is used to drive screws with cross slot
heads.
C. Stubby Screw Driver

It comes in either Standard or Philips screw

driver with short shank or blade and a shorted
handle used to turn screws in tight space
where standard screw driver cannot be used.
D. Allen Screw Driver/Wrench

This could be in the shape of a screw

driver or a wrench. Its function is to drive
screw with hexagonal slot head.
II. HAMMERS
These are tools used in driving or
pounding and pulling out nails. They
are made of hard steel, wood, plastic
or rubber. The following are types of
hammer.
Claw hammer Mallet(rubber head)

Ballpeen hammer
III. PLIERS

These made from metal with insulators in

the handle and are used for cutting,
twisting, bending, holding, and gripping
wires and cables.
A. Combination Pliers (Lineman’s
Pliers).

This is used for gripping, holding, and cutting

electrical wires and cables and even small
nails. They are usually used by linemen in
doing heavy tasks.
B. Side Cutting Pliers.

This type of pliers is used for cutting fine,

medium and big wires and cables.
C. Long Nose Pliers.

This is used for cutting and holding fine wires. This can
reach tight space or small opening where other pliers
cannot reach and also used in making terminal loops of
copper wires.
IV. Wire Stripper

A tool used for removing insulation of

medium sized wires ranging from gauge #10 to
gauge #16.
V. Electrician’s Knife.

This is used by linemen to remove insulation

of wire and cables in low and high voltage
transmission lines.
VI. Portable Electric drill.

A small drilling machine with a chuck

capacity of ¼‖ to 3/8‖. It is used in making
holes on metal sheets and concrete walls.
VII. Hacksaw

This tool is used to cut metal conduit and

armored cable.
