Transcript: Combination Pliers Construction Culminating Combination Wrenches 10 Most Common Tools Tape Measure Tape Measure a flexible strip of material used to measure distance or length When you use a Tape Measure When you use a Tape Measure -home improvement projects -measure materials needed -sowing and tailoring for fabrics -measuring your height In Construction Out of construction The History History Ancient Rome 1829 Alvin J. Fellows -used leather strips to measure land a lockable mechanism to prevent rapid retracting 1829 James Chesterman patented a spring-loaded tape measure How do you make it 1. Long strip of flexible material 2. Cut the strip to the desired length and attach metal or plastic caps to each end to prevent fraying 3. Fuse the caps onto the tape measure securely 4. Print the numbers and markings onto the tape 5. Attach a metal clip or hook to one end of the tape measure so that it can be easily attached Claw Hammer Claw Hammer versatile tool used for driving and removing nails When you use a Tape Measure When do you use it -demolition work -framing -roofing -driving nails into wood -removing nails -removing materials The History Ancient Rome E.C. Atkins 19th century patenteding a curved handle England 1631 Christopher Goulding. How do you make it 1. Measure the handle's length and cut it to size. 2. Insert the wedge into the handle's top 3. Secure it with epoxy glue, and attach the steel head to the handle. Allow the glue to dry completely before using. Combination Pliers used in various applications, including cutting, gripping, and bending When do you Combination Pliers When do you Combination Pliers -cutting -gripping -bending wires -materials -jewelry - electronic components The History 1900s Knipex. How do you make it 1. Cut desired metal into desired shape using wire cutters, smooth out rough edges with a file, and bend the pieces using regular pliers. 2.Adjust as needed until desired shape and functionality are achieved. Test the pliers and adjust as needed to ensure proper functioning. Combination Wrenches used to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts When do you use Combination Wrenches When do you use Combination Pilers -difficult-to-reach nuts and bolts -come in various sizes -useful in tight spaces and awkward angles. The History 1902 Johan Petter Johansson 1835 Solymon Merrick introduced an adjustable wrench, tighten and loosen bolts and nuts 1858 Daniel Stillson 1924 Snap-on issued the first patent for a ratcheting combination wrench introduced combination wrenches How do you make it 1. Slide the appropriate wrench head onto the rod, gently tap it into place, and repeat for each additional size. 2. Smooth out rough edges with a metal file to ensure comfortable hold and ease of use. Utility Knife Utility Knife cutting tool suitable for various tasks, featuring a retractable blade made of high-quality steel When do you use Utility Knife -cutting materials -opening boxes -stripping wire -making a makeshift screwdriver The History invented the modern utility knife Ancient Egypt used for carving hieroglyphics and armor 1900s Karl Elsener How do you make it 1. Cut the handle to the desired size and shape, drill holes in the handle, 2. Place the blade on top, align with the holes, secure it with screws or rivets 3. Sharpen the knife using a sharpening stone or honing rod. Level Level leveling surfaces, ensuring evenness and flatness in floors, walls, and ceilings When do you use it - laying tile -installing hardwood flooring, -building walls - creating ground for patios or walkways The History Ancient times 1960s Laser technology Egyptians and Greeks using primitive versions. 1858 William F. Stanley with the first patent filed Laser technology in the 1960s revolutionized construction leveling, allowing precise measurements over long distances. Frank L. Sturtevant's self-leveling Leveler in 1920 also played a significant role in its development. How do you make it 1. Create a long, straight piece of wood or metal that is at least as wide as the surface you want to level. 2. Use several shorter pieces of wood or metal at regular intervals to create a series of "teeth" that scrape and level the surface. 3. Measure and mark the placement of each tooth on the base piece, drill holes, and secure them using screws or bolts. Clamp Clamp used to hold objects securely during various tasks When do you use a Clamp -woodworking -metalworking -construction History not much history but changed from wooden to metal clamps How do you make it 1. Drill holes in the wood, attach one bracket to the wood using screws, and attach the other on the opposite side 2.Place the object between the brackets and tighten using a screwdriver or wrench. Chisel Chisel used for cutting and shaping wood, stone, or metal When do you use it -woodworking -metalworking -masonry work History Ancient times used sharp stones for carving wood and bone. How do you make it 1. Temper the steel by heating it to a specific temperature and cooling
