PRELIM

Please answer the Following:

Give the Function of the Following Tools 5 pts each.

1. Vice Grip

 Vice grips are locking pliers which can be locked into a clamped position. They have a handle
which on one side has an adjustment bolt to adjust the width of the jaws. The other part of the
handle has a lever which is used to release the clamping action of the plier.

2. Devils Clamp

 Straightens joists in floor framing

 Pulls rim joists and floor joists together
 Pushes heavy T&G plywood sheathing together
 Lifts heavy laminated beams for precise alignment
 It also allows you to straighten boards where under-deck waterproofing systems are used.  This
is great because the Deck Devil works from the top, so it won't damage the membrane over the
joist. 

3. Combination Pliers

 Combination pliers are heavy-duty, side-cutting pliers, also known as lineman pliers or side
cutters, which are designed for all regular wire-cutting needs. They have gripping jaws, a cutting
edge, and insulating handle grips that reduce (but don't eliminate) the risk of electric shock from
contact with live wires. This combination of features makes for a versatile tool found in every
electrician's and home tool kit.
 The wedged jaws provide a non-slip grip for holding and bending small objects and the grip is
made strong by the hook bend in both handles. The cutting edge, which is really a breaking edge
since it is not sharp like a knife-edge, can cut through heavy or large-gauge wire. Finally, this
type of pliers is heavy and tough enough to be used as small hammer for use with a chisel or
screwdriver, or to pound in various types of hardware, especially staples and small nails.

4. Flat Screw

 Flat Screw Driver is designed to sit in a slot in a screw head and drive (tighten or loosen) the
screw. This screwdrivers primary function is to drive slotted head screws. The other thing they
are good for is acting as small pry bars. But be careful, that is not their intention and under
pressure they will snap surprisingly easily.

5. Open Wrench

 A wrench with an open end fits around a fastener instead of over it, so you can slip
a wrench into an area where there isn't room for a socket.
Give at Least 10 Tips on Maintaining Hand tools 25 pts.

 Proper Storage
 Always store tools in a dry, climate-controlled environment. Moist and dirty
environments can cause hand tools to rust and dull, and storing power tools in damp
areas can degrade electrical components and cause parts to corrode over time. While
fitting power tools back into their cases can be a pain, the case will go a long way
towards protecting its tool from the environment. If you need the extra space,
consider gutting your tool cases.
 Clean Often
 It might seem like overkill at first, but be sure that each of your power tools gets cleaned
every time you finish using it. Cleaning methods will vary from tool to tool, but most of
the time everyday cleaning can be as simple as wiping dirt and dust from the casing.
Something as simple as a good wipe down will keep particles from building up and
getting into your tool’s internal mechanisms. Tighter areas like filters can be kept dust
free with a few blasts from a can of compressed air.

 Remember to Regularly Inspect Your Tools

 If you are in the habit of using a power tool every day, it can be easy to fail to notice
when that tool’s performance gradually drops over time. That’s why it is important to at
least semi-regularly take a moment and inspect your most-used tools, paying close
attention to signs of wear and performance issues. Run a few basic operations with a
tool, paying close attention to warning signs like weaker than normal power levels, any
sort of burning smell, and strange buzzes and noises coming from inside the tool. Any of
these is a pretty strong indicator that there’s something off with your tool and it may
require some extra attention.

 Keep Tools Lubricated

 Lubrication is an often neglected maintenance step that can really drag down tool
performance, causing issues like chafing that can cause parts to quickly deteriorate.
Most likely, each of your tools will have a section in their owner’s manual explaining
proper lubrication practices. Follow the recommended steps to ensure that your power
tools remain the well-oiled machines they are meant to be.

 Sharpening Bit
 Eventually, the sharpened tips of your saw blades and drill bits get worn down and
dulled. When you use a dull bit or blade in a tool, you’re essentially forcing that tool to
work even harder. By regularly sharpening bits and blades, you make it easier for your
power tools to work through materials, putting less stress on the tool’s motor and
extending its life

 Tool for hand Sharpening

 Some tools need to be sharpened such as blades of knife, cold chisel, punches and many
others. To do hand sharpening for hand tools requires techniques and application. In
some multi knives or cutters, manufacturers produce knife sharpening system to hold or
clamp the blade for ensuring strong blade to stone contact during sharpening and also
provided with course to fine honing stones. For cold chisels and punches, the right file-
size and grades are used for repairing the defective anvil curve.

 Let Tools Cool Down

 Quality power tools are tough, durable machines made to cut, drill and chew through
some pretty tough materials. But even the most well-made tools have a breaking point,
and it’s important to recognize when you’re pushing a tool to or past its natural limit. If
you’re performing a tough task like drilling into concrete and a tool has overheated, give
it a break. Simply letting a motor cool off can go a long way toward making sure that
your tools last.
  Parts Replacements
 A tool failing is not always a sign that it should be thrown out or replaced with a newer
model. Sometimes, all that needs to happen to get a tool back in working condition is
the replacement of an essential part, like a drive belt or a carbon brush.

 Tightening/Loosening
 In an assembly of structures, we have tools for fittings that need to be tightened and
loosened so that they do not pose risks to safety. The proper procedures in loosening
/tightening bolts and nuts and other fittings should be followed in order to maintain its
thread.
 Store Your Tools Properly
 To keep your tools in good shape, it’s important to store them properly. Work with the
space you have. You could invest in a couple of decent storage boxes, or use an old
chest of drawers. Or maybe you’d prefer them to hang on the wall, in that case grab
yourself a pegboard. The key thing about storage is choosing something that works for
you while maintaining your tools in the best shape.
 Remember – a place for everything and everything in its place.

Draw and Give at least 5 Cutting Tools and give their Corresponding Function 10 pts each.

1. Hack Saw

Hacksaw is a tooth cutting tool usually with a solid and adjustable frame. The main parts are
handles, blade, tightening screw and nuts. The tool is mainly used in cutting metals like plates, pipes,
rods, bars, angular, etc. but of minimal thickness, width and length. Sometimes this tool is used for
cutting plastic pipes and other materials that suits its purpose.

2. Sheet Cutter

A throatless shear is a cutting tool used to make complex straight and curved cuts in sheet
metal. The throatless shear takes its name from the fact that the metal can be freely moved around the
cutting blade (it does not have a throat down which metal must be fed), allowing great flexibility in
shapes that can be cut.
 3. Grinder

A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is one of power tools or machine tools used
for grinding, it is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of
abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the work piece via shear deformation.

4. Diagonal Cutter Plier

Diagonal pliers are pliers intended for the cutting of wire. The plane defined by the cutting
edges of the jaws intersects the joint rivet at an angle or "on a diagonal", hence the name.

5. Pliers

Combination pliers are multi-purpose pliers, combining gripping jaws with wire cutters. They can
be used for gripping, compressing, bending, twisting, extracting and cutting various materials.
