    There are two ESD tools: the antistatic wrist strap and the antistatic mat.

    The antistatic wrist strap protects computer


    equipment when grounded to a computer chassis. The antistatic mat protects computer equipment by preventing
    static electricity from accumulating on the hardware or on the technician.

    Hand Tools (2.2.1.3)

    Most tools used in the computer assembly process are small hand tools. They are available individually or as part of
    a computer repair toolkit. Toolkits range widely in size, quality, and price. Some common hand tools and their uses
    are:

     Flat-head screwdriver: Used to tighten or loosen slotted screws.


     Phillips-head screwdriver: Used to tighten or loosen cross-headed screws.
     Torx screwdriver: Used to tighten or loosen screws that have a star-like depression on the top, a feature
    that is mainly found on laptops.
     Hex driver: Used to tighten or loosen nuts in the same way that a screwdriver tightens or loosens screws
    (sometimes called a nut driver).
     Needle-nose pliers: Used to hold small parts.
     Wire cutters: Used to strip and cut wires.
     Tweezers: Used to manipulate small parts.
     Part retriever: Used to retrieve parts from locations that are too small for your hand to fit.
     Flashlight: Used to light up areas that you cannot see well.
     Wire stripper: A wire stripper is used to remove the insulation from wire so that it can be twisted to other
    wires or crimped to connectors to make a cable.
     Crimper: Used to attach connectors to wires.
     Punch-down tool: Used to terminate wire into termination blocks. Some cable connectors must be
    connected to cables using a punch down tool.

    Proper Use of Tools (2.2)


    Using tools properly helps prevent accidents and damage to equipment and people. This section describes and
    covers the proper use of a variety of hardware, software, and organizational tools specific to working with computers
    and peripherals.

    Hardware Tools (2.2.1)


    For every job there is the right tool. Make sure that you are familiar with the correct use of each tool and that the
    correct tool is used for the current task. Skilled use of tools and software makes the job less difficult and ensures that
    tasks are performed properly and safely.

    A toolkit should contain all the tools necessary to complete hardware repairs. As you gain experience, you learn
    which tools to have available for different types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into four categories:

     ESD tools
     Hand tools
     Cleaning tools
     Diagnostic tools
