Learning Outcome 1: Identify and select materials
and tools
What’s In
We had learned from our previous lesson about on how to conduct SWOT analysis
and we also learned the different products/services available in the market and to compare
different products in SMAW business, we had determined the profile potential customers
and we generate potential business idea based on the SWOT analysis. Through all the
learning we get from the topic we can use it to our new lesson which is the use of basic
hand tools as one of the investment for the entrepreneur to produce a quality SMAW
product by the aid of knowing the different uses and function of tools and equipment in
SMAW.

What Is It
Information Sheet
1) Measuring tools - tools used to measure the dimension of an object or metal
2) Cutting tools - is a wedge shaped and sharp edge device that is used to removed
excess layer of material from the work piece by shearing by machining or manual
process in order to obtain desired shape size and accuracy.
3) Driving tools - are tool used for pushing and pulling of nails, screws, nuts or any
object removed from position.
4) Holding tools- are tool used for holding objects.
Measuring Tools
1. Pull-push rule. This flexible rule when extended will support itself, but may
also be used to measure curved, irregular surfaces. Steel tape rule blade is
usually ½ inch wide and 72 inches long. The graduation is sixteenths, except for
the first 6 inches which are graduated in thirty-seconds of an inch.

ow-to/g2743/measuring-tools-and-instruments/
2. Steel tape. It is similar to a steel tape rule except for its flexible number of feet
that are marked on the tape. The tape is 3/8-inch-wide and available in lengths from
25 to 100 feet.
https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/h
ow-to/g2743/measuring-tools-and-instruments/
3. Steel rule. This is the most common tool used in tool room. It is made of
tampered steel about 1/8-inch-thick and ¾ inch wide and 6 to 12 inches long. The
same style maybe obtained in length from 1 to 48 inches.

Cutting Tools
1. 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 suit to its purpose.
https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/
how-to/g2743/measuring-tools-and-instruments/
2. Files are made of high grade steel which are hardened and tempered. Each file has
rows of teeth that form, shape and finish metal by removing small chips and
smoothing rough edges of the metal surface. They differ in length, shape, cut and
coarseness.

how-to/g2743/measuring-tools-and-instruments/
3. Cold chisel. A wedge-shaped tool used to shear, cut, and chip metal
Types of cold chisel and their particular functions:
a. Cape chisel has a narrow edge suited for cutting narrow grooves
or slots.

4. Scraper is used in removing points, burrs and sharp edges from metal surface and
similar parts. This tool is made of hardened steel of various shapes that fit according
to each purpose. There are bearing scrapes, flat, sharper, three-connected scraper.
Below are types of scrapers and their uses.

Driving Tools
1. Ball peen hammer is used for straightening bending and deforming metals. It has
two faces. One is flat in striking cold chisels and punches. The other side the “peen”
is rounded for bending and shaping metals. Ball peen hammer generally has a wood
or fiberglass handle measuring 10-16 inches long. Head weight ranges from 2-48 oz.
A 20oz hammer is good for general purpose.

Chipping hammer is used for removing slag on weld and with two faces, the tapered
from one side and round pointed on the other side.

2. Wrench is used for loosening and tightening light and heavy nuts and bolts.
There are different kinds and sizes of wrenches designed according to uses and
functions.

3. Screwdriver is hand tool that is designed to turn screws. The blade is made of
steel, attached to one end of a wooden or plastic handle. The other end is flattened
to fit slots in the heads of screws on bolts. The other kinds of screw drivers are
called a Phillips screw driver and helical-ratchet screw driver
.

1. Start the saw by guiding the blade with the thumb of your left hand while taking one
or two light strokes with your right hand.
2. Move the saw with a light steady and even motion of about 40 to 50 strokes per
minute.
3. Apply pressure during the forward stroke and release during the return strokes.
4. Hold the stock with your left hand to avoid cuts upon sawing with your right hand.

2. Strike the metal with the flat head of a hammer in the direction of the arrow indicated.
Circular Bend
1. Place the metal over a pipe or round bar and clamp in a bench vise.
2. Strike the metal with a glancing blow using the flat head of a hammer until the
desired curve is obtained.
Cold Chisel
Cold Chisel is used for cutting and chipping cold metals.
The illustration above presents the Two Hands Positioning in cold chiseling which
shows the proper grip in using the tool. For heavy work, hand gripping of tool should be
strong and tight; for fine and small work, hold the tool lightly.
Look at the person work with the ball peen hammer and the chisel, as shown in the
illustration above. A cold chisel will cut metals only if you strike it with the flat head of a ball
peen hammer. The complete safety protection device and the body position when
performing the task (chiseling) are evidently done.

Summary
A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task, but that is
not consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension of the human hand thus
increasing speed, power, and accuracy and on the other hands equipment includes any
machine powered by electricity.
Hand tools are tools manipulated by hands without using electrical energy such as:
puller, hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.
