    Bin - a container or enclosed space for storage.

    Computer chassis - the enclosure that contains most of the


    components of a computer.

    Diagnostic tools - used to test the integrity of circuits and the


    quality of electricity in computer components and to test the
    functionality of computer ports.

    Hazards - risks; dangers.

    Insulation - a material that reduces or prevents the transmission


    of heat or sound or electricity.

    Nozzle - a projecting part with an opening, as at the end of a


    hose, for regulating and directing a flow of fluid.
    Preventive - intended or used to prevent or hinder.

    Static electricity - an accumulation of electric charge on an


    insulated body.

    Tool - a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task.

    Toolkit - a set of tools designed to be used together or for a

    HARDWARE TOOLS

    To complete hardware repairs, it is important to


    have a toolkit that should contain all of the
    necessary tools. Hardware tools are grouped into
    these four categories:

    • Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools


    • Hand tools
    • Cleaning tools
    • Diagnostic tools
    Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools

    Static electricity is easily generated by friction on


    carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric, and etc. The
    friction of moving air alone will charge suspended
    particles and cause the buildup of static electrical
    charges on people and objects in the environment.
    Grounded antistatic work mats used with antistatic
    wrist straps provide the most basic means for the
    controlled discharge of electrostatic electricity.
    Anti-static wrist strap – used to prevent
    ESD damage to computer equipment.
    Anti-static mat – used to stand on or
    place hardware on to prevent static
    electricity from building up.
    Hand Tools

    - is a device for performing work on a


    material or a physical system using only
    hands. The hand tools can be manually used
    employing force, or electrically powered, using
    electrical current.
    Flat head screwdriver – used to loosen
    or tighten slotted screws.

    Philips head screwdriver – used to


    loosen or tighten crosshead
    screws.
    Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten screws
    that have a star-like depression on the top, 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 plier – used to hold small
    parts.

    Wire cutter – used to strip and cut


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

    Tweezers – used to manipulate small parts.


    Part retriever – used to retrieve parts from
    location that are to small for your hand to fit.
    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 – Used to clean different
    computer components without scratching
    or leaving debris.
    Compressed Air – Used to blow away dust and
    debris from different computer
    Cable Ties – Used to bundle cables neatly
    inside and outside of a computer.
    Parts Organizer – Used to hold screw,
    jumpers, fasteners and other small parts
    and prevents them from getting mixed
    together.
    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:
    Multi-meter – Used to test the integrity of
    circuits and the quality of electricity in
    computer components.
    Loopback Adapter – Used to test the
    functionality of computer ports.
