Screwdrivers
• Screwdrivers consist of a high-
carbon steel or alloy steel blade,
fixed to a wood or composite
handle.
• The high-carbon steel blades are
also hardened and tempered.

usually made from alloy steel, with an insulated
handle.

Lock Wire Pliers
• Wire Locking Pliers are designed specifically for lock
wire tasks, these pliers incorporate:
1. Lockable grip function
2. Integral Archimedes’ Screw for wire twisting.
3. Cutting function to snip wire

Circlip Pliers
• Circlip Pliers are used for the removal and fitting of
internal and external circlips.
• Normally made for internal only or external only
circlips, the better types can be adjusted to fit both
types of circlip.

Mole Grips
• Pliers that can be locked onto a component are
usually known as ‘Mole-Grips’.
• They have a mechanism that allows gripping without
the need to continuously squeeze the handles.

Spanners
• Spanners are usually made from either:
(a) Case Hardened Mild Steel
(b) Hardened and Tempered High-Carbon Steel
(c) Alloy Steels containing Chromium and
Molybdenum.
• The size should be marked on the handle or the jaw
face in unit of measurement for that system.

Flat Ring Spanners
• Flat ring spanners can be used in areas where access
is difficult with a normal cranked ring spanner.
• The shape of the spanner is usually either straight or
crescent shaped.

Flare Nut Spanners
• Flare nut spanners combine the best of both ring and
set spanners.
• This spanner allows an increased force to be applied
to pipe unions without slipping.
• The end sections are much thicker to compensate for
a loss of rigidity because of the open end.
End
Sockets
• Sockets are just versatile spanners and are made
from the same materials as spanners.
• The faces that turn the fastener are either six or
twelve sided, with a square hole for applying force.

• The turning force can be achieved by a variety of
methods such as T-bars and ratchet handles.
• The drive size range form ¼” to 1½” with the 3/8”
being the most popular with aircraft engineers.
• The sockets are available in the same sizes and
systems as spanners, and with varying depths to
increase versatility.

Deflecting Beam Torque Wrench
• One end has a square drive whilst the other end has
an accurately ground beam mounted on a pivot.
• A pointer is connected to the square drive, and a
scale is connected to the beam.
• When a force is applied the beam bends and the
pointer deflects.
• Deflection is directly proportional to the torque, so
the value is what the pointer indicates on the scale.
• Parallax error could make obtaining an accurate
reading difficult.
