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 parties and cause the buildup of static electrical charges on people and objects in the environment. Grounded antistatic work mats used electrostatic electricity. Examples of ESD Tools:
ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP
Anti-static wrist strap-used to prevent ESD damage to computer equipment
ANTI-STATIC MAT
Anti-static - used to stand on or place hardware on to prevent static electricity from building up.
HAND TOOLS
A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system using only hands. The hands tools can be manually used employing force, or electrically powered, using electrical current. Examples of Hand Tools:
FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER
Flat head screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten slotted screws.
PHILIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER
Philips head screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten cross-head screws.
TORX SCREW DRIVER
Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten screws that have a star-like depression on the top, a feature that is mainly found laptop.
HEX DRIVER
Hex driver - sometimes called a nut driver, is used to tighten nuts in the same way that a screwdriver tightens screws.
NEEDLE NOSE PLIER
Needle-nose plier - used to hold small parts.
WIRE CUTTER
Wire cutter - used to strip and cut wires.
TWEEZERS
Tweezers - used to manipulate small parts.
PART RETRIEVER
Part retriever - used to retrieve parts from location that are to small for your hand to fit.
FLASH LIGHT
Flashlight - used to light up areas that you cannot see well.
CLEANING TOOLS
Having the appropriate cleaning tools is essential when maintaining or repairing computers. Using these tools ensures the computer components are not damage during cleaning. Examples.
LINT-FREE CLOTH
Lint-free cloth - used to clean different computer components without scratching or leaving debris.
COMPRESSED AIR
Compressed air - used to blow away dust and debris from different computer parts without touching the components.
CABLE TIES
Cable ties - used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of a computer.
PARTS ORGANIZER
Parts organized - 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 doesn't mean they're problem-free. Here's the most popularb tools for diagnosing your computer problems:
MULTIMETER
Multimeter -used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality of electricity in computer components.
LOOPBACK ADAPTER
Loopback Adapter - used to test the functionality of computer ports

A LENS
A lens is an optical device which transmits and refracts light, converging or diverging the beam.[citation needed] A simple lensconsists of a single optical element. A compound lens is an array of simple lenses (elements) with a common axis; the use of multiple elements allows more optical aberrations to be corrected than is possible with a single element. Lenses are typically made of glass or transparent plastic. Elements which refract electromagnetic radiation outside the visual spectrum are also called lenses: for instance, a microwave lens can be made from paraffin wax. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_(optics)
A RULER
A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line gauge, is an instrument used in geometry, technical drawing, printing and engineering/building to measure distances and/or to rule straight lines. Strictly speaking, the ruler is essentially a straightedge used to rule lines[citation needed], but typically the ruler also contains calibrated lines to measure distances.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruler
T-SQUARE
A T-square is a technical drawing instrument used by draftsmen primarily as a guide for drawing horizontal lines on a drafting table. It may also guide a set square to draw vertical or diagonal lines. Its name comes from the general shape of the instrument where the horizontal member of the T slides on the side of the drafting table. T-squares come in varying sizes, common lengths being 18", 24", 30", 36" and 42".[citation needed]
T-squares are also used to measure and cut drywall. Drywall T-squares are typically made of aluminium and have a 48-inch (1,220 mm) long tongue.
Higher-end table saws are often equipped with T-square fences. These table saw fences are attached to a rail only on the front side of the table unlike traditional fences which clamp to both the front and the rear of the table. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-square

STEEL RULERS
Steel rulers come in rigid and flexible versions. While their primary purpose is accurate measurement, they can also be used as guides for laying out lines, and if rigid enough, for cutting. The thinner, more flexible rules can also be used to measure rounded or cambered work.
The differences in the prices of rules result from the various production methods, which also determine accuracy and legibility. Most rules are made by cutting the required length from a roll of band spring steel, with etched graduations. Rules made by this method are adequate for most applications and reasonably priced.
Higher-priced rules are cut, not stamped, from plate steel (stamping would cause the material to warp), and the edges are ground. Graduations are machined, much deeper than etched graduations, longer-lasting, and easier to read in poor light. http://www.fine-tools.com/mass.htm

PROTACTOR
In geometry, a protractor is a square, circular or semicircular tool, typically in transparent perspex, for measuring angles. The units of measurement utilized are usually degrees (°).
They are used for a variety of mechanical and engineering-related applications, but perhaps the most common use is in geometry lessons in schools.
Some protractors are simple half-discs. More advanced protractors, such as the bevel protractor, have one or two swinging arms, which can be used to help measure the angle.
