3. PROCEDURE
A. Care of tools.
Good tools can be quite an investment, but if you take good care of them, they'll return the favor.
Keeping your tools properly stored, cleaned, and maintained will save you time and money and make
your DIY endeavors that much more rewarding.
We're mostly talking about hand tools, power tools, and garden tools in this article, but much of the same
advice applies whether your tools of choice are kitchen knives, crafting tools, or whatever else. Store
them well, keep them clean and well-maintained, and you won't be sorry.
- Store Your Tools Properly
You have to work with the space you have. Maybe you hang them on pegboards, maybe you store them
in boxes, bags, or chests, or maybe you keep them in drawers or on shelves in your shop. Whatever
works for you is best.
Pegboards make a great storage system for tools. They let you see all your tools at a glance and they
can make use of wall space in a pretty efficient way. If you don't have enough wall space, though, you
can still take advantage of pegboards by building a hinged system, a rolling pegboard, or even a portable
pegboard storage system
Toolboxes also make for great tool storage, offering the primary advantage of portability. While some
people opt to store all their tools in toolboxes, for most, the toolbox is a way of carrying around your
most-used tools while leaving the bulk safely stored on pegboards, shelves, or drawers. No matter what
you're doing, though, you can build a well-equipped toolbox for every level of DIY needs.
Rust is public enemy number one when it comes to tools. To avoid rust when storing your tools:
- Keep your tools in a dry place. It seems obvious, but garages and basements and other enclosed
spaces can have humidity issues, especially if they are not heated or air-conditioned. If you keep your
tools in a location like this, especially if you keep them out on shelves or pegboards, consider investing
in a dehumidifier to keep the dampness down. They're not terribly expensive, especially compared to
your investment in your tools, and most let you set a humidity level so the dehumidifier turns on only
when it needs to.
- Hang your garden tools. Even if you keep your garden tools inside the garage or your shed, hang them
so that they don't rest on the floor. Moisture can easily creep up from concrete floors.
- Store power tools in their original cases. Unless you have a climate-controlled workshop, your best bet
for storing power tools in the hard plastic cases they usually come with. Not only are they better-
protected from humidity, they're just better-protected in general.
- Use silica gel packs or rust collector. The silica gel packs that come in lots of packaging are great at

3. PROCEDURE
A. Dimensions
Normal size is used for general identification and is usually expressed in decimals or common fractions.
In figure (a), the normal size of both hole and shaft would be 1.25‖.
Basic size, or basic dimension, is the theoretically exact size from which limits of size are determined by
applying allowance and tolerance. It is the size from which limits are determined for the size, shape, or
location of a feature. For above example, the basic size is the same as the normal size, 1,25 inch.
Actual size is the measured size of the finished part. Allowance is the minimum clearance space (or
maximum interference) between mating parts. Allowance represents the tightest possible fit. For
clearance fits this difference will be positive, but for interference fits it will be negative.
There are several methods of expressing tolerances in dimensions that are approved by ANSI and they
are as follows.
Limit dimensioning. In this preferred method, the maximum and minimum limits are specified, as shown
below.
The maximum value is placed above the minimum value as shown in Fig. (a). In the single-line note
form, the low limit precedes the high limit separated by a dash, as shown in Fig. (b).
Plus-or-Minus dimensioning. In this method the basic size is followed by a plus-or-minus expression for
the tolerance. The result can be either unilateral, where the tolerance only applies in one direction so
that one value is zero, or bilateral, where either the same or different values are added and subtracted
as show below.
If the plus and minus values are the same, a single value is given, preceded by the plus-or-minus
symbol, as shown below.
B. Allowances
In Fig. (a), the max. shaft is shown solid and the min. shaft is shown phantom. The difference is .001‖.
This difference .001‖ is the tolerance for the shaft. Similarly, the tolerance for the hole is .001‖. The
loosest fit, or maximum clearance, occurs when the smallest shaft is in the largest hole, as shown in (b).
The tightest fit is shown in (c).
The difference between the largest allowable shaft size and the smallest allowable hole size is called
allowance.
C. Tolerances
Tolerance is the total amount a specific dimension can vary.
Tolerance are assigned so that any 2 mating parts will fit together, as shown in (a). In this case, the
actual hole may not be less than 1.25 inch and not more than 1.251 inch; these are the limits for
dimension, and the difference between is the Tolerance. A metric version is shown in (b).
When parts are required to fit properly in assembly but not to be interchangeable, parts are not always
Straightness tolerance, shown below, specifies a tolerance zone within which an axis or all points of the
considered element must lie. Straightness is a condition in which an element of a surface or an axis is a
straight line.

Any variation from the Manufacturer’s recommended interval must be documented and include the
justification.
Where a tool is marked ―Calibrate Before Use‖ the transfer standard against which that tool (working
standard) is checked should have a log book where each calibration of each tool is recorded. This
activity ensures that there is an auditable trail relating to the use of that tool. The policy regarding the use
of such tools and reference standards should be highlighted within the Policy and Procedures Manual (or
equivalent document).
- Calibration of equipment should be performed at certain periods of the equipment life.

Step 2: Use a damp, soft cloth to remove stubborn dirt and debris from the sides of your scale.
The cloth must only be slightly damp to prevent water and moisture from getting inside your scale.
Open the battery compartment, remove the batteries, and wipe the inside of the battery
compartment, if using a battery-operated scale. This can also help you identify whether battery
corrosion is affecting performance or calibration.
Step 3: Use a sharp knife, blade, or pin to chip away and remove hardened dirt and debris from
the surface of your scale. These tools can be useful when a soft cloth fails to remove caked-on
debris.
Step 1: Locate a flat, level surface on which you can calibrate your digital pocket scale. A flat,
level surface provides the most accurate calibration and digital readings.
Use a carpenter’s level to help you determine whether the surface is level.
Step 2: Place one or two computer mouse pads on the table’s surface. Mouse pads are ideal for
preventing and limiting vibrations that can interfere with the calibration process.
Step 3: Gently place your scale on the mousepad, then power on the unit.
Step 4: Press the “Zero” or “Tare” button on your scale. These buttons will zero out your scale and
clear any saved data from a previous weigh-in.
Step 6: Place a calibration weight on your scale after it enters calibration mode. A calibration
weight is a solid item that usually features no air cavities and helps determine the accuracy of your scale
reading. Calibration weights normally range anywhere from 1 mg to 30 kg.
Use a new, shiny U.S. coin if you lack a calibration weight. Pennies made after 1983 weigh
exactly 2.5 g, nickels made after 1866 weigh 5 g, dimes made after 1965 weigh 2.268 g, and quarters
made after 1965 weigh 5.670 g.[1]
Step 7: Enter the mass of your calibration weight into the scale and press the “Enter” key. For
example, enter ―5 g‖ if using a U.S. nickel as a calibration weight. The scale will store and use the data
entered to weigh other items.
Step 8: Power off your digital pocket scale. Your scale is now calibrated.
