1. Understanding Hardware Tools

2. Introduction to Hardware Tools Today, we will learn about different hardware tools. These tools help us repair and maintain computers. There are four main categories of hardware tools.

3. Categories of Hardware Tools Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools Hand tools Cleaning tools Diagnostic tools

4. What are ESD Tools? ESD tools protect computer parts from static electricity. Static electricity can damage sensitive components. Examples include anti-static wrist straps and mats.

5. Examples of ESD Tools Anti-static wrist strap: Prevents ESD damage.

6. Examples of ESD Tools Anti-static mat: Keeps static away while working.

7. Examples of ESD Tools Anti-static bag: are used in the packaging when transporting and storing physical non-electrical parts used in electronics

8. Examples of ESD Tools Anti-static spray: can prevent damage of static sensitive electronic components, devices and sub-assemblies during testing, shipping, manufacture, or receiving by reducing a static charge to zero volts.

9. What are Hand Tools? Hand tools are used to work on materials with your hands. They can be manual or powered by electricity. Let's explore some common hand tools.

10. Examples of Hand Tools Screwdrivers

11. Examples of Hand Tools Needle-nose pliers and wire cutters

12. Examples of Hand Tools Flashlight for hard-to-see areas

13. Importance of Cleaning Tools Cleaning tools help keep computers safe during repairs. They prevent damage to computer parts. Let's look at some cleaning tools.

14. Examples of Cleaning Tools Lint-free cloth: Cleans without scratching.

15. Examples of Cleaning Tools Compressed air: Blows away dust safely.

16. Examples of Cleaning Tools Cable ties: organizes electrical cables and wires by binding them together.

17. What are Diagnostic Tools? Diagnostic tools help find problems in computers. They make sure everything is working correctly. One popular tool is the multimeter.

18. Using Diagnostic Tools Multimeter tests circuits and electricity quality. Helps you understand if parts are working well.

19. Using Diagnostic Tools Toner probe: a pair of handheld tools used for tracing and identifying cables in networking, telecommunications, and electrical systems.

20. Power surge protectors Devices designed to protect the computer from sudden power surges from intermittent power sources. Examples: 1.AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulators) 2.UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)

21. Power surge protectors 1.AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulators) - an electronic device that maintains a constant voltage level to electrical equipment on the same load. The AVR regulates voltage variations to deliver constant, reliable power supply.

22. Power surge protectors 2.UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) - a type of device that powers equipment, nearly instantaneously, in the event of grid power failure, protecting the equipment from damage

23. AVR Regulates voltage fluctuations to protect devices from power surges and drops. AVRs are best for areas with unstable electricity. UPS Provides backup power during a power outage or brownout. UPSs are often used in data centers, hospitals, and government facilities.
