1. Pliers: Also called tweezers, they are a
essential tools in any basic team with
hand tools because they are widely used, since
They are used to hold, bend, or cut. There are many types of
pliers, among which the following stand out: Universal,
cutting, pressure, flat head, and round head, etc.
2. Brocas: Multi-purpose drill. In any
mechanical or DIY task, it is necessary many
Sometimes drill holes with some drill bit. To make a
a hole requires the participation of a machine that
impulse in the drill the sufficient rotation speed and that
have the necessary power to be able to drill the
hole that is desired. there are many types of drills of
according to its size and constituent material.
3. Shears: The name shears refers to a tool and to
a powerful machine activated with an electric motor. The shear has the
same operating principle as a normal scissors, just
is more powerful and safer in cutting than scissors. It is used mainly
in printing presses, to cut sheets of paper, and in mechanical workshops to
cut metal sheets that are not very thick or hard.
4. Compass: The compass apart from other concepts is a
tool used in machining workshops for marking
circumferences and verify diameters of both exterior pieces
like interiors.
5. Cutter: burin and chisel. They are hand tools designed for
cutting, grooving or roughing material in cold through the blow given to
These tools with a suitable hammer. The deficiencies that can
presenting these tools is that the blade can deteriorate easily,
so it is necessary to sharpen again. If they are used continuously there are
to put a ring protection to protect the hand that holds them
when hit.
6. Screwdriver: Screwdriver. They are tools that are
they are used to tighten screws that require little torque and
which are generally of small diameter. There are four types of
different screw heads: round head, countersunk head
star head, torx head.
7. Reamer: It is a cutting tool that is used to.
used to achieve precision holes when it is not
it is possible to obtain them with a drilling operation
normal. The standardized reamers are manufactured for
to obtain holes with tolerance H7, and with diameters
normals in millimeters or inches.
8. Mechanical extractor. It is a tool that is used
basically to extract the pulleys, gears, or bearings from the shafts,
when they are very tight and do not come out with the force of the hands. They
It can break the pulley if the extractor is poorly adjusted.
9. Granete: It is a tool shaped like a steel pointer.
tempered sharp at one end with a tip of approximately 60º

wood.
11. Wrench: It is a tool used for tightening screws.
There are keys of various shapes and sizes, among which the notable ones are the
fixed jaw wrenches, adjustable jaw wrenches, and torque wrenches. When you
makes continued use of keys, now resorting to pneumatic keys or
electric ones that are of greater speed and comfort.
12. Screw thread: It is a tool
cutting manual that is used to carry out the
roughing of holes that have been previously
drilled to a suitable size in some
metal or plastic piece. There are two types
of males, on one side the males that are
they are used for hand screwing and others that are
they are used for machine threading.
13. Hammer: It is a tool used for striking.
and it may be one of the oldest that exist.
They have currently evolved quite a bit and there are many types.
and different sizes of hammers. For large efforts.
there are pneumatic hammers and hydraulic hammers, which are
used in mining and construction basically. Among the
hand hammers worth mentioning, cabinetmaker's hammer, hammer
carpenter's square, mason's pot, coachbuilder's hammer and
mechanic's ball peen hammer.
14. Numbers and letters to engrave: There are many pieces of
mechanics that once machined must be marked with
some letters or with some numbers, which are usually called
"part reference". Other times when a component is disassembled.
the equipment or a machine records the pieces in such a way that
then it can be known the assembly order they have for it
this is correct.
15.
16. Hoist: These mechanisms are widely used in workshops that
They handle very large and heavy pieces. They are used to facilitate placement.
of these heavy pieces in the different machine-tools that exist
in the workshop. They are usually attached to a rotating arm that is in each
machine, or mobile beings from one place to another.
17. Drawing point: This tool is basically used
for the layout and marking of reference lines, such as
axes of symmetry, drill centers, or excess material in
the parts that need to be machined because it leaves a mark
unforgettable during the machining process.
18. Riveter: It is a tool widely used in workshops.
DIY and metal carpentry. The rivets are cylinders that
they are used for the joining of non-detachable parts, both metal
like wood. The joint with rivets ensures easy fastening of
some pieces with others.
19. Sergeant: It is a commonly used tool in many
professions, mainly in carpentry, consists of two
clamps, adjustable with a pressure screw. They are basically used
to hold pieces that are going to be machined if they are metals or are going to be
glues with a tail if it is wood.
20. Manual saw: The manual saw is a
cutting tool that is composed of two
differentiated elements. On one side is the arch or
support fixed with screws and tensioners and the other

extendable pliers that are very useful tools for holding
elements that a normal pliers do not have sufficient opening to hold.
The fact that they are extensible makes them very versatile.
22. Tapping tool: It is a cutting tool that is used to
the manual threading of bolts and screws, which must be calibrated from
agreement with the characteristic of the thread in question.
23. Scissors: The main use of scissors in a mechanical workshop is
that are used to cut packaging straps and thin sheets. There are
to ensure that they are well sharpened and that the thickness of the sheet is appropriate for
size of the scissors.

very solid and resistant metallic that has two jaws, one
one of them is fixed and the other opens and closes when turned with
a lever a square thread screw. It is a tool
that is screwed to a work table and is very common in the
mechanical workshops. When the parts to be held are delicate
the fragile ones should be protected with covers
softer material called galteras and that can be of
lead, cork, leather, nylon, etc. the tightening pressure has
to agree with the characteristics of fragility that
have the piece that is held.
25. Folding rulers: High precision rulers made of fiberglass
flexible very durable, with bold numbers for easy reading, graduations
with red pushpin marks every 16" and positive closure joints. The model
1602 is graduated in millimeters on one side, with red marks every 10 cm. The
the reverse is marked in inches.
26. Tape measures: The heavy-duty tape measures from RIDGID
they incorporate a very durable rubber protector and a stainless cover, which
they confer long duration and allow them to withstand the most demanding usage conditions
difficult.
