Learning Objectives By the end of the lesson, students should be able to a) define and mention driving tools; b) define and mention boring tools; c) define and mention cutting tools; d) mention the uses of driving, boring and cutting tools; e) list how to care and maintain metalwork hand tools. Driving Tools Driving tools are used to fix nails and screws into wooden and metal materials. Nails are the iron material with the flat head and a stem with a sharp end. The stem is usually smooth. Screws look like nails but they have turned (twisted) stem. Screws are driven into wood with screw drivers while nails are driven into wood and metals with the use of hammers....

Learning Objectives By the end of the lesson, students should be able to a) define metals; b) mention metalwork hand tool; c) state the uses of metalwork hand tool. What are Metals? Metals are types of materials used in the workshop to produce various objects. Metals can be classified as “Ferrous” when they contain iron, or “”non-ferrous” when they do not contain iron. Certain tools are used in the workshop to manipulate these metal materials to use them to form different objects. Some of the tools are used in marking, some used in measuring, some used in driving, while others are used in cutting the metals....

Learning Objectives By the end of the lesson, students should be able to a) define driving and impelling tools; b) give examples of driving and impelling tools; c) state the uses of driving and impelling tools. Meaning of Driving and Impelling Tools Driving tools include a variety of steel tools used to install, repair and maintain a variety of constructions. Drivers are used to drill, insert and drive screws, nuts and bolts into surfaces with mechanical and manual force. Tools defined as drivers include hammers, screwdrivers, mauls and sledges. Driving tools are used to fix nails and screws into wooden and metal materials. Nails are the iron material with the flat head and a stem with a sharp end. The...

Learning Objectives By the end of the lesson, students should be able to a) mention woodwork hand tools; b) give the uses of woodwork hand tools; c) use woodwork hand tools. Boring Tools In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast), by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools). Boring is used to achieve greater accuracy of the diameter of a hole, and can be used to cut a tapered hole. Boring can be viewed as the internal-diameter counterpart to turning, which cuts external diameters. Boring tools are used to make holes in wooden materials. The wooden material is held firm with braces...
