USES OF TOOLS MATERIALS FOR ROUTINE SERVICING AND

MAINTENANCE

Learning Objetives:

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:

1. Identify the basic necessary tools for routine servicing maintenance

2. Identify the uses of each tool that is necessary in conducting preventive
maintenance.

A collection of basic tools will make auto repairs and service maintenance easier.

Screwdrivers

It is used to loosen and tighten screws, two of the most commonly used type
of screwdrivers are Phillips-head which has cross shaped tip and Flat-head. There
are other types of screwdrivers that may be useful depending on the application,
having a collection of different screwdrivers may be useful.

Adjustable Wrench

Adjustable wrenches come in several sizes and lengths, you may also flip
them to allow a better range of motion when in use. You can use them in either
direction, and they have a small amount of moving parts for minimal maintenance.

File

File, typically 6 inches to 12 inches in length, can be used to remedy minor

electrical problems, clean rust or remove corroded parts and balance out uneven
surface area. Files can damage softer materials that are not protected, such as
plastics or rubber.

Hammer

A good hammer or mallet can straighten out a body dent from the inside. In
combination of wrench, you can have an impromptu impact wrench to loosen tight
nuts. The claw end of a hammer can act as pry bar when working on close together
parts. Rubber mullet can help on installing parts without the damage that may
occur in using a metal hammer. It would be best if you consider buying both
hammer and rubber mallet.

Hand Wrenches

A good set of combination wrenches, in metric or imperial units, together with

adjust bale wrench can loosen and break free a pair of locknuts from each other
during removal or installation. In a pinch, using two wrenches at once can take the
place of a third hand by lodging one wrench on the fastener head against a frame or
immobile part using both hands to turn the other wrench.

Ratchet and Socket Wrench Set

A simple tool that allows you to turn nuts and bolts with more ease than
regular wrench. The Ratcheting feature allows you to keep the wrench connected to
the bolt and eliminate the need to refit it with every turn of the bolt

Multimeter or Multitester

A multitester, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter), is an electronic

measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A
typical multimeter can measure voltage, current, and resistance.
Analog multimeters uses a micro ammeter with a moving pointer to display
readings.
