Types of Screwdrivers
TYPES OF
SCREWDRIVERS
SLOTTED
SCREWDRIVER
is used to drive or fasten negative screws.
PHILLIPS
SCREWDRIVER
is used to drive or fasten positive slotted
screws. It is a screwdriver that could take
greater torque and could provide tighter
fastenings.
JEWELER'S SCREWDRIVER

SOLDERING
TOOLS
SOLDERING
IRON
is a device for applying heat to melt solder in
attaching two metal parts. A soldering iron is
composed of a heated metal tip and an
insulated handle. For electrical work, wires
are usually soldered to printed circuit boards,
other wires, or small terminals. A low-power
iron (20-30 Watts) is suitable for this work.
SOLDERING TOOL
STAND
is a place where the soldering iron is placed
during usage. This will keep the
soldering iron away from flammable
materials. The stand often comes with a
sponge used in cleaning the tip of the
soldering iron.
DESOLDERING
TOOL
is used in removing soldered wires and
components on printed circuit boards for
troubleshooting and repair purposes.
SPLICING
TOOLS
LONG
NOSE
is used for holding, bending, and stretching
the lead of electronic component or
connecting wires.
SIDE
CUTTER
is a wire-cutting pliers, though they are not
used to grab or turn anything, but are used
to cut wires.
WIRE
STRIPPER
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.
BORING
TOOLS
12V MINI-
DRILL
is used to bore or drill holes in the printed
circuit board (PCB) with sizes from 1/32” –
1/16”.
PORTABLE ELECTRIC
DRILL
is used for boring hole(s) in plastic or metal
chassis with the use of drill bits having
sizes from 1/6” to approximately 1/4”.
METAL

FILESare hand tools having a series of sharp, parallel
ridges or teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed
tang at one end to which a handle can be fitted.

CUTTING
TOOLS
UTILITY
KNIFE
is a common tool used in cutting various
trades and crafts for a variety of purposes.
HACKSA
W
is used for cutting metals. Some have pistol
grips which keep the hacksaw firm and
easy to grip. The small hand-held
hacksaws consist of a metal arch with a
handle that fits around a narrow, rigid
blade.
AUXILIARY
TOOLS
MAGNIFYING
GLASS
is a convex lens which is used to produce a
magnified image of an object. The lens is usually
mounted on a frame with a handle. Roger
Bacon is the original inventor of the magnifying
glass. A magnifying glass works by creating a
magnified virtual image of an object behind the
lens. Some magnifying glasses are foldable
with built-in light.
PAINT
BRUSH
is a type of brush made of bristles set in
handle, used for cleaning dirty parts of a
circuit or an object aside from using it
for painting.
