Types of Hand Tools and Safe Usage

Hand tools are convenient simple machines used at home or in the office. There are many different types according to their functions and purpose.

Hand tools serve varying functions and purposes. It makes it easy to perform procedures that do not require motors. It comes in many shapes and sizes. The most common hand tools are hammers, mallets and calipers. Some hand tools can be mounted on walls, like pencil sharpeners.

Artisans commonly use hand tools in manual operations like forging, chiseling, sawing, filing, and chopping. Although basically classified as a hand tool, there are innovations now that integrate power to these tools. These are known as electric or motor tools.

The basic hand tools are brace, punch, hammer, handsaw, pliers, screwdriver and torque wrench. Brace is used in drilling holes, often in wood. A punch helps drilling works. It initially bores a hole that a drill can follow through.

Hammers deliver blows to an object to embed it. Handsaws are used to cute pieces of wood into desired shapes. Pliers grip objects via a leverage. A screwdriver loosens or tightens screws. A torque wrench is used to force or fasten tight a bolt or nut.

When used properly, hand tools help greatly alleviate manual work. Handle with care these simple machines to prevent injuries. Always inspect a tool for defects or cracks before using it. Discard them if damaged.

Make sure the handles are fixed firmly before use. It will also help to organize your tools in a toolbox. Wear the necessary eye and body protection before working on a project.

Use the right tool for the job. Avoid substituting a tool, like using a punch for hammering. These tools are specifically made for distinct functions, along with the right safety measures. Sometimes, substituting one tool for another is fine. But sometimes it can prove to be dangerous.

When it comes to frequent usage of wrenches, replace the teeth when already worn or marred. Never put your head or face in the same level as the wrench handle when working with it.

Keep the tools out of children's reach. It can be very dangerous especially that children are naturally curious and will pick up just about anything that catches their interest. Pry wood or pull nails away from your face. Do not use striking tools with damages or a loose handle.

Always clean your tools and tuck them away safely after use. Tools can be washed using a hosepipe or scrubbed with a Scott brush or wire brush. Cleaning prevents pathogens from developing. Spray light oil onto the parts of the tool that is prone to rust.

Store tools in a dry and sheltered environment. Place the tools in racks if possible. For smaller tools prone in getting lost easily, you might want to place them in a toolbox. It is a container that organizes work tools.

Keep metal blades well-oiled and sharp. Check any bolts, rivets, nuts, blades, screw and springs regularly for damages and replace, if necessary. Sand wooden parts regularly to keep a smooth finish and avoid scratches, and oil with a 50/50 linseed oil and turps mix. Label all damage tools and take them out of the toolbox.

How do i remove a very tight (lift up type) bathtub drain cover?

I was trying to clean my bath tub and realized the drain cover was dirty. When I lifted the drain plug it came out. Two of the 4 engaging cross members were broken and now I can't remove the worn out assembly. Inserting handles of pliers isn't moving the drain cover at all. Its too tight. Could it be because of the plumber's putty? Please help.

They can get corroded and difficult to remove. It is screwed into the part of the drain that is under the tub. Depending on how old your tub is, the part underneath may be metal - newer ones are plastic and don't corrode.

The only way to fix it is to get the metal part of the drain you can see out by unscrewing it - counter-clockwise. If the 'crosshair' piece is broken and you cannot engage it to turn it, the only way I know to get it out is to carefully start prying it out. Once you start that, you have to finish the job or the tub will leak and there is no going back.

If you damage the piece under the tub, then the tub has to come out to replace that piece, or if on a wood floor with access underneath, the ceiling under the tub has to be removed. Not a small job.

You might want to call a plumber to fix this one. He might just have enough experience to get it out in one piece.
