Study Notes
Tools for Installation and Maintenance
- Piston Ring Compressor: Simplifies the installation of piston rings, including compression rings and oil control rings.
- Ratchet/Socket Wrench: Enables swift tightening or loosening of nuts and bolts featuring a ratchet mechanism for efficiency.
- Breaker Bar: Increases leverage for loosening stubborn bolts and nuts; serves as an alternative to ratchets to prevent damage.
- Extension Bar: Lengthens the reach of a socket wrench, making it easier to access hard-to-reach areas.
- Sockets: Interchangeable tools utilized with a wrench bar for fastening or loosening bolts.
- Deep Sockets: Specially designed longer sockets that accommodate bolts with extended threads for improved accessibility.
Specialty Tools
- Hex Key/Allen Wrench: L-shaped tool specifically designed for driving hexagonal (Allen) screws, ideally should have a deep reach at 70%.
- Offset Screwdriver: Angled screwdriver crafted for use in tight or awkward spaces where straight screwdrivers can't fit.
- Screwdrivers (Flat & Cross): Flathead screwdrivers for slotted screws, while Phillips, Prince, and Reed are designed for cross-headed screws.
Versatile Wrenches
- Combination Wrench/Spanners: Features both an open and box end, offering versatility for different fastening needs.
- Open-ended Wrench: U-shaped tool ideal for gripping various bolts and fasteners.
- Box-End Wrench: Fully encloses the nut or bolt to provide a strong grip on hexagonal fasteners; can replace breaker bars.
- Speed Handle: Facilitates rapid rotations of sockets for quick adjustments on bolts.
- Adjustable Wrench: Equipped with an adjustable jaw to accommodate various nut and bolt sizes; generally not suitable for aviation use.
Hammers and Measuring Tools
- Pin Punch: Utilized for indenting or creating holes in hard surfaces, essential for precise work.
- Ball Peen Hammer: Used in metalworking for shaping and striking tasks.
- Rubber Hammer: Designed to deliver gentler blows, preventing damage to surfaces during application.
- Dead Blow Hammer: Provides precise blows with minimized recoil, enhancing safety and control.
- Micrometer: High-precision instrument for measuring small dimensions accurately.
- Vernier Caliper: Versatile tool capable of measuring internal, external, and depth dimensions with fine accuracy.
- Torque Wrench: Ensures fasteners are tightened to specific torque values, preventing over or under-tightening which could lead to failure.
