Task
At the end of this Lesson, you are expected to know the electrical supplies, materials, and tools.
Process
Read the Information Sheet 1.1 very well then find out how much you can remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check
Information Sheet 1.1
Electrical Tools and Equipment
Electrical task can be accomplished systematically to save time, effort, and resources. Most of the work cannot be done using bare hands. To do the task, electrical tools or equipment are needed to perform the job. This lesson will discuss the function/use of each tool or equipment used in electrical wiring installations.
The following are common electrical tools and equipment needed in the installation of electrical wiring.
1. SCREW DRIVERS. These tools are made of steel hardened and tempered at the tip used to loosen or tighten screws with slotted heads. They come in various sizes and shapes.
a.) Standard/Flat Screw Driver. The blade tip is wedge-shaped and resembles a negative (-) sign. This is used to drive screws with a single slot head
b.) Phillips Screw Driver. This has a cross tip resembling a positive (+) sign. This is used to drive screws with cross slot heads.
c.) Stubby Screw Driver. It comes in either Standard or Philips screw driver with short shank or blade and a shorted handle used to turn screws in tight space where standard screw driver cannot be used.
d.) Allen Screw Driver/Wrench. This could be in the shape of a screw driver or a wrench. Its function is to drive screw with hexagonal slot head.
2. HAMMERS. These are tools used in driving or pounding and pulling out nails. They are made of hard steel, wood, plastic or rubber. The following are types of hammer:
a.) Claw hammer
b.) Mallet(rubber head)
c.) Ballpeen hammer
3. PLIERS. These made from metal with insulators in the handle and are used for cutting, twisting, bending, holding, and gripping wires and cables.
a.) Combination Pliers (Lineman’s Pliers). This is used for gripping, holding, and cutting electrical wires and cables and even small nails. They are usually used by linemen in doing heavy tasks.
b.) Side Cutting Pliers. This type of pliers is used for cutting fine, medium and big wires and cables.
c.) Long Nose Pliers. This is used for cutting and holding fine wires. This can reach tight space or small opening where other pliers cannot reach and also used in making terminal loops of copper wires
4. Wire Stripper- A tool used for removing insulation of medium sized wires ranging from gauge #10 to gauge #16.
5. Electrician’s Knife. This is used by linemen to remove insulation of wire and cables in low and high voltage transmission lines.
6. Portable Electric drill. A small drilling machine with a chuck capacity of ¼‖ to 3/8‖. It is used in making holes on metal sheets and concrete walls.
7. Hacksaw. This tool is used to cut metal conduit and armored cable.

Conclusion
Prepare Electrical Supplies, Materials, and Tools.
This study helps you to know what equipment we should use to install electricity and instruction on how to join the two wires together so that they will not be pulled easily when pulled.
