1.Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools- Static electricity is easily
generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric,
and etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge suspended
particles and cause the buildup of static electrical charges on
people and objects in the environment. Grounded antistatic work
mats used with antistatic wrist straps provide the most basic means
for the controlled discharge of electrostatic electricity.
Anti-static wrist strap – used to prevent ESD damage to
computer equipment.
Anti-static mat – used to stand on or place hardware on to
prevent static electricity from building up.

2.Hand tools- is a device for performing work on a material or a
physical system using only hands.
Flat head screwdriver – used to loosen or tighten slotted
screws.
Philips head screwdriver – used to loosen or tighten crosshead
screws.
Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten screws that have a star-
like depression on the top, a feature that is mainly found on laptop.
Hex driver – sometimes called a nut driver, is used to tighten
nuts in the same way that a screwdriver tightens screws.
8. Louie F. Rivera
Needle-nose plier – used to hold small parts.
Wire cutter – used to strip and cut wires.
Tweezers – used to manipulate small parts.
Part retriever – used to retrieve parts from location that are
too small for your hand to fit.
Flashlight – used to light up areas that you cannot see well.

3.Cleaning tools- Having the appropriate cleaning tools is
essential when maintaining or repairing computers.
Lint-free cloth – used to clean different computer
components without scratching or leaving debris.
Compressed air – used to blow away dust and debris from
different computer parts without touching the components.
Cable ties – used to bundle cables neatly inside and outside of
a computer.
10. Louie F. Rivera
4.Diagnostic tools- Computers are easier to use and more
dependable with each new generation of hardware and operating
system update, but that does not mean they are problem-free.
Parts organizer – used to hold screw, jumpers, fasteners and
other small parts and prevents them from getting mixed together.
Multimeter – used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality of
electricity in computer components.
Loopback Adapter – used to test the functionality of computer
ports.
