This document discusses different types of driving tools and common misconceptions about their use. It provides examples of driving tools like hammers, mallets, and screwdrivers. Some common rules are that driving tools should be held at the end of the shaft and kept square to the material. The document also notes some mistakes students often make, such as hitting their fingers when fitting nails or losing their grip on loose tools. Finally, it introduces the topic of drilling and boring tools.

1. A checklist is a list of items you need to
verify, check or inspect. Checklists are used
in every imaginable field — from building
inspections to complex medical surgeries.
Using a checklist allows you to ensure you
don’t forget any important steps.
Driving tools
There are many different types of driving
tools below are some examples of what
type of driving tools you would use with
materials. These are common concepts.
Other examples of common
concepts with driving tools in schools
would be;

Sometimes students may think
that the bigger the hammer the
quicker it will do the job
Often hammers are seen as only
being used with wood and that
they are only made from metal
DRILLING AND BORING TOOLS

holes with revolving tools. A hole may be
drilled or bored; awls, gimlets, and augers
also produce holes. An awl is the simplest
hole maker, for, like a needle, it simply pushes
material to one side without removing
it. Drills, gimlets, and augers, however, have
cutting edges that detach material to leave a
hole. A drilled hole is ordinarily small and

enlarging a small hole. Drilling usually
