  1. Module 3: Marking out and Hand Tools Mechanical Workshop

  2. Module Objectives • After the completion of this module, student should be able to: • Identify different marking out tools and their usage. • Select the appropriate tool required for marking out. • Mark out work-pieces according to the dimensions given in engineering drawings. • Distinguish the different hand tools and their uses. • Select the correct tool for the task. • State the care and safe use of hand tools.

  3. 3.4 Introduction to hand tools • The mechanical engineer very often have to use a number of various hand tools in the course of his duties as a fitter or machinist, many of these tools are common to both.

  4. 1- Spanners/ Wrenches • The two words “spanner” (in British English) and “wrench” (in American English) refer to the same tool. • Spanners/Wrenches are different in shape to provide ease of operation under certain conditions. • They are manufactured from high tensile or alloy steel. • The sizes of metric spanners are identified by the distance across flats of a nut or bolt head

  5. The sizes of metric spanners are identified by the distance across flats of a nut or bolt head S=24 mm

  6. Spanner types1-1 Open-ended spanners • The ends of this type of spanners are generally oriented at an angle of 15º to the longitudinal axis of the handle to allow greater range of movement in enclosed spaces. • An open-end wrench has two different sizes; one at each end.

  7. 1-2Ring spanners • Ring spanners or box-end wrenches are recommended to be used when a better grip is needed and when the spanner swing is restricted.

  8. A box-end wrench has two different sizes; one at each end.

  9. 1-3Combination spanners • This type comes with an open end from one side and a ring end from the other side . • Usually both ends are having the same size

  10. 1-4Adjustable spanners • Adjustable spanners are spanners that have a moving jaw to fit different bolt/nut sizes

  11. An adjustable wrench is often used where the exact size wrench is not available or when a large nut, such as a wheel spindle nut, needs to be rotated but not tightened. • Adjustable wrenches are sized by the overall length of the wrench and not by how far the jaws open.

  12. Accidents PreventionWhen using wrenches • When working with spanners, accidents are usually caused by the slipping of a spanner from a nut or bolt head. • In order to avoid these accidents, the following recommendations should be considered

  13. 1- Use the correct size spanner for the job. • 2- Pull towards the body whenever possible. • 3- Do not obtain extra leverage by using pieces of pipe. • 4- Use a steady pull not a jerking action. • 5- Do not hit a spanner with a hammer. • 6- Make sure your hands will not strike any obstructions.

  14. Treat adjustable spanners gently

  15. 2- Allen keys • They are referred to as Allen keys and sometimes Allen wrenches. • Allen keys are used on grub screws and socket head cap screws • The size of Allen keys is almost like spanners measured across flats. Socket head cap screw Allen Keys Grub screw

  16. 3- screwdrivers • Screwdrivers are made in different lengths and designs, the two most common are: • Flathead/slotted • Crosshead/Phillips

  17. The flathead is identified by its length and in some cases by the blade width. • The crossheadscrewdriver is identified by its point size.

  18. Always use the correct size screwdriver for the screw head; the blade should fit the width of the screw head.

  19. 4- pliers • Pliers are a hand toolused to hold objects firmly, or for cutting and bending tough materials such as wires. • There are different types that can deal with different types of jobs • Flat nose pliers • Long nose pliers • Combination pliers • Circlippliers

  20. 4-1 long nose pliers • Long nose pliers are both cutting and gripping pliers used by electricians and other tradesmen to bend, re-position and cut wire.

  21. 4-2 combination pliers • These pliers incorporate side cutters, joint cutters and pipe grip.

  22. 4-3 circlip pliers • Circlips are retaining devices • They are fitted inside a groove on bores and shafts • The internal circliphas to be squeezed to be removed

  23. The external circlipwhich is fitted onto a shaft has to be opened out to be removed

  24. Thenose of the circlip plier is either straight or bent depending on the type of job.

  25. 5-Pipe wrench • A pipe wrench is designed to tighten its grip on the part being rotated. • It has serrated jaws that leave marks on the part and so it might damage the surface of the part. • Accordingly, pipe wrenches must not be used to loosen a nut, unless the nut is to be replaced.
