FOUR CATEGORIES OF COMPUTER HARDWARE
SERVICING TOOLS
1. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools  Static
electricity is easily generated by friction on
carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric, etc…
The friction of moving air alone will charge
suspended particles and cause the buildup of
static electrical charges on people and objects
in the environment. Grounded antistatic work
mats used with antistatic wrist straps provide
the most basic means for the controlled
discharge of electrostatic electricity.
Examples of ESD Tools:

1. Antistatic wrist strap – used to

prevent ESD damage to computer
equipment.
2. Antistatic mat – used to stand on
or place hardware on to prevent
static electricity from building up.
2. Hand Tools  is a device for
performing work on a material or a
physical system using hands only. The
hand tools can be manually used by
employing force, or electrically
powered, using an electrical current.
Examples of Hand Tools
1. Flat-head screwdriver – used to loosen
or tighten slotted screws
