Basic Hand Tools used in EPAS

TermDefinition
Screwdriver . It is a device specifically designed to insert and tighten or to loosen and remove screws.
Flat Screwdriver It is used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.
Phillips Screwdriver It is used to drive or fasten positive slotted screws. It is a screwdriver that could take greater torque and can provide tighter fastenings.
Hex (Allen Wrench) It is used to drive or fasten hexagonal screws. The head has a hexagonal hole turned by an allen key. An Allen key is a hexagonal shaped wrench bent in letter-L. The Allen key was invented by an American, Gilbert F. Heublein,
Precision Screwdriver Set It is a set of small screw drivers composed of slotted and Philips screwdrivers.
Soldering Iron It is a device used for applying heat to melt solder in attaching two metal parts.
Soldering Tool Stand. It is a place of the soldering iron to keep them away from flammable materials. The stand often also comes with a sponge and flux pot for cleaning the tip.
Desoldering tool. It is used for the removal of solder and components from a circuit when troubleshooting, repair purposes and to save components.
Long Nose It is used for holding, bending and stretching the lead of electronic component or connecting wire.
Side Cutter It is a wire-cutting plier, though they are not used to grab or turn anything, but are used to cut wire.
Wire Stripper It is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire cutters. The addition of a center notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without cutting the wire.
12 Volt Mini-Drill It is used to bore or drill holes in the printed circuit board (pcb).
Portable Electric Drill It is used for boring hole/s in the plastic chassis or metal chassis with the used of drill bits.
Metal File It is a hand tool used to shape metals by grinding. A file series of sharp, parallel ridges or teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end to which a handle can be fitted.
Flat Files They are parallel in width and tapered in thickness. They are used for flat surfaces and edges.
Half Round Files They are tapers in width and thickness, coming to a point, and are narrower than a standard half round which are used for filing inside of rings.
Round Files They are also called rat-tail files gradually tapered and are used for many tasks that require a round tool, such as enlarging round holes or cutting a scalloped edge.
Utility Knife It is a common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts for a variety of purposes.
Ball-peen Hammer It is a type of hammer used in metalworking. it is useful for many tasks such as tapping punches and chisels.
Magnifying Glass It is a convex lens which is used to produce a magnified image of an object. The lens is usually mounted in a frame with a handle
Paint Brush It is made of bristles set in handle used for cleaning dirty parts of a circuit or an object.
Socket (hexagon) a screw with a hexagonal recess that can be driven in using a hex wrench (Allen or hex key) or a hex bit. Tamper-resistant versions have been made available featuring a center pin which requires a compatible bit.
Torx (star drive) a six-sided star shaped recess drive designed to allow increased torque transfer from the driver to the bit, compared to other systems. It reduces installers’ fatigue by minimizing the need to bear down on the power tool to prevent cam-out
Hacksaws consist of a metal arch with a handle that fits around a narrow, rigid blade. The blade has many small saw teeth along one side.
Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter (VOM) It is an equipment that combines three functions: as a voltmeter that measures both ac and dc voltages; an ohmmeter that measures resistance; and milliammeter that measures small amount of dc current.
Oscilloscope is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows signal voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis)
Signal generator is a device which produces simple wave forms.
