Classification of Hardware Tools In conducting computer repairs, it is very important to have a toolkit that
contains all the necessary tools. Computer Hardware tools are categories into four:
• Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools
• Hand tools
• Cleaning tools
• Diagnostic tools

4. Checking of Hand Tools Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not all tools come
with detailed instructions, but there are those that do spell out the safety Do’s and Don’ts for your safety. If there
are set-up/use options, operator judgment must always be based on what is the safest way to use the tool.
Identifying Unsafe or Faulty Tools Environmental Safety and Health Program requires the following:
1. All tools be kept in good condition with regular maintenance
2. The right tool be used for the job
3. Each tool be examined before use AND damaged or defective tools NOT to be used
4. Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions
5. The right protective equipment for the tool and activity be used
