In the first part of your introduction to hand tools, you will learn about various types of tools as well as how to use them safely. You will also learn how workpieces are held in place, the manner in which workpieces are marked prior to actually starting a given job, and how to make the most of a workbench's many useful features. Then you'll be introduced to a group of hand tools which most technicians use on a daily basis and you'll learn the correct ways to safely use and take care of these tools. Equally important, you'll learn how not to use these tools and the results of their improper use. In part 2 you'll find out about the other tools that are more specialized and are most commonly used by maintenance and machine trades technicians. You'll learn how to choose the correct chisel or punch for the job, and how to care for it and use it safely. You'll also learn about the variety of different cutting tools and shaping tools.
