Hammers

Hammers include ball-peen hammer is used with a punch, with a chisel, or as a

peening tool. And Before we used thing basic hand tool. Let me show you some safety
precaution and some accident occurs with hammer.

Most accidents with hammers occur when the hammerhead loosen. The hammer
handle must fit the head tightly.
A sweaty palm or an oily or a greasy handle might let the hammer slip.
Striking a hardened steel surface sharply with a ball-peen hammer is a safety
hazard.
Small pieces of sharp, hardened steel might break which may result to eye
injury or damage to work or the hammer.

the ball-peen hammer, often termed the machinist's hammer, is a very useful tool aboard
ship. The head of the hammer is made of hardened steel. The handle is of hickory or other
hardwood. The flat portion of the head is called the face, and the other end is known as the
peen, the latter being used for heading rivets and similar peening or drawing operations. The
hole for the handle is the eye. Ball-peen hammers are classed according to the weight of the
head without the handle. They vary in size from 4 ounces to 2 pounds, three popular sizes
being the 6-ounce for light work, the 12-ounce for general utility, and the 16-ounce for heavy
work.

The straight-peen hammer is used for spreading or drawing out metal in line with the handle,
while the cross-peen hammer is used for the same operation at right angles with the handle.
The claw hammer is used for driving and pulling nails.
Hammers with heads made of soft material, such as lead.

Screwdriver

A screwdriver is a tool for driving or removing screws. Frequently used

screwdrivers include the common, crosspoint, and offset.

If a screwdriver is the wrong size, it will cut and burr the screw slot, making it
worthless.
A wrong size of screwdriver with a wrong size of blade might slip and damage
the adjacent parts of the structure.
The two common recessed heads screws are the Phillips and the Reed and
Prince.

Pliers

We have the five kinds of plier in repairing an aircraft.

o Slip-joint pliers- used to grip or round stock and bend small pieces of
metal to desired shapes.
o Long-nose pliers- used to reach where the fingers alone cannot and bend
small pieces of metal.

wire and removing cotter pins.
