 UNDERSTANDING BASIC COMPUTER CONCEPTS (HAND TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT)

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. Differentiate the hand tools and equipment used in computer servicing.
2. Determine the different use and functions of these tools and equipment’s

LESSON 6: Hand Tools and Equipment

Most tools used in computer system servicing are hand tools. These can be part of a computer repair
toolkit as well. In this lesson, you will learn about the common hand tools and equipment that you will be using
especially in handling computer equipment such as disassembly/assembly of a computer, as well as repair and
maintenance.

 Electrostatic Discharge Tools

When working with electronic equipment, it is important to make sure that there is no static electricity to avoid
damage of computer parts.

Static electricity can be easily generated by friction on carpets, clothing, hair, fabric, flooring, etc.

Thus, these tools should be utilized:

 Anti-static wrist wrap. Worn to prevent ESD damage to computer hardware

 Anti-static mat. Used to stand on or place tools to prevent buildup of static electricity.

 Hand Tools
A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system using only hands. Hand
tools can be used manually or electrically powered, using electrical current. Examples of Hand Tools are as follows:

Flat Head Screwdriver – Used to loosen or tighten slotted screws

 Philips Head Screwdriver – Used to loosen or tighten cross-head screws.

Torx Screwdriver - Used to loosen or tighten screws that have a star-like depression on thetop,
a feature that is mainly found on laptop.

Hex Driver – Sometimes called a nut driver, is used to tighten nuts in the same way that a
screwdriver tightens screws.

Needle-Nose Pliers – Used to hold small parts.

Wire Cutter – Used to strip and cut wires.

Tweezers – Used to manipulate small parts.

Part Retriever – Used to retrieve parts from location that is too small for your hand to fit.

Flashlight – Used to light up areas that you cannot see well.

 Cleaning Tools
Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or repairing computers. Using these tools
ensures that computer components are not damaged during cleaning.

Lint-free cloth. For cleaning computer parts without leaving marks or scratches.

Compressed air. For clearing or blowing away dust from computer parts.

Cable Ties. Used to organize and bundle cable together.

Parts organizer . For holding and organizing screws and other small computer parts.
  Diagnostic Tools
Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of hardware and operating
system update, but that does not mean they are problem-free. Here are the most popular tools for diagnosing your
computer problems:

Digital Multimeter. A tool that can be used to measure amps, volts, and ohms. It can test the
integrity of circuits and the quality of electricity in computer components. Information is flashed on
the screen.

Loopback Adapter . Also called as loopback plug. This tool tests the basic functionality of
computer ports. The adapter is specific to the port that you want to test.

Toner Probe. A two-part tool that generates a tone that travels the length of the cable. The toner
part is attached to a cable at one end using specific adapters, such as RJ-45, coaxial, or metal
clips. When the probe is near to the cable where the toner is attached, a tone can be heard from
the speaker.
