    • Measuring and maintaining equipment is also important in the fitting shop.
    • Many hand tools and devices are used in fitting work.

    Measuring and Marking Tools

    • Measurement: Determining size, quantity, or degree using instruments and devices.
    • Marking: Placing lines and points on work pieces.
    • Tools like steel rules, try squares, dividers, calipers, scribers, punches, vernier calipers, micrometers, surface gauges, and drill gauges are described.

    Cutting Tools

    • Hack Saw: Used for cutting metal. Different frame types use various blade lengths.
    • Blades are made from high-carbon or low-alloy steel.
    • Common blades are 0.7 mm thick and between 20-30cm long.

    Additional Cutting Tools

    • Chisels: Used to cut thin sheets or remove material from large surfaces, producing lower accuracy.
    • Drills: Used to make holes in metal.
    • Threading Tools (Taps and Dies): Used to create internal and external threads on rods or tubes.

    Finishing Tools

    • Files: Tools with multiple teeth-like cutting edges for creating smooth surfaces. They are various shapes like flat, round, square, triangular, and knife edge.
    • Reamer: Used to control the diameter of a hole to improve the internal surface finish and roundness.

    Striking Tools

    • Hammers: Used for striking chisels or punches. Different types of hammers (ball peen, cross peen, straight peen, and claw) are used for different purposes like punching, chipping, and marking.

    Holding Tools

    • Vices: Work-holding devices used to securely grip the work piece during operations. Bench vices have a cast iron body, movable jaw, fixed jaw, handle, and a threaded screw.
    • Pipe Vices: Hold pipes securely for operations.
    • V-Blocks: Supports round bars for operations like drilling, while holding them at the correct angle.
    • C-Clamps: Useful for clamping and holding round bar shapes in fitting.

    Supporting and Miscellaneous Tools

    • Anvil: Supports work pieces during hammering, chiseling, and punching operations.
    • File Cards: Remove small chips from file surfaces.
    • Screwdrivers: Used for tightening and loosening screws.
    • Spanners/Wrenches: Used to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts (single-ended, double-ended, adjustable, box).
