Driving Tools in
SMAW
Ballpeen Hammer
Used for shaping metal.
Chipping Hammer
Removes slag from welds.
Wrenches
Tighten or loosen bolts and nuts.
Screwdrivers
Fasten or remove screws.
Ballpeen Hammer
The ballpeen hammer is a versatile tool. It is used for various
tasks in welding. These include shaping metal and striking
punches and chisels.
Shaping
Forming metal pieces.
Smoothing
Refining surfaces.
Riveting
Joining materials.
Chipping Hammer
The chipping hammer is specifically designed for removing
slag. Slag forms on welds during the SMAW process. It
ensures clean and strong weld joints.

Wrenches for Welding
Wrenches are essential for tightening and
loosening fasteners. Different types exist for
various applications. These include adjustable, oxy-
acetylene, open-ended, closed-end, and socket
wrenches.

Adjustable Wrench
An adjustable wrench is a versatile tool. It can fit various sizes of nuts and
bolts. This makes it useful for different welding tasks.
1 Versatile
Fits various sizes.
2 Essential
For many tasks.
3 Adjustable
Easy to customize.
Oxy-Acetylene Wrench
An oxy-acetylene wrench is used for specific tasks. It tightens
fittings on oxy-acetylene welding equipment. This ensures safe
and efficient operation.

3 Tightening
Open-ended Wrench
Open-ended wrenches are designed to grip nuts and
bolts on opposite sides, making them useful for quick
adjustments in tight spaces.
Close-end Wrench
Close-end wrenches, also known as box-end wrenches, fully
enclose the nut or bolt head, providing a strong grip and
reducing the risk of slippage, making them ideal for high-
torque applications.
Socket Wrench
Socket wrenches are a versatile tool used for tightening and
loosening nuts and bolts. Their key advantages include a
secure grip, ability to apply high torque, and adaptability to
various socket sizes. They are essential in automotive repair,
machinery maintenance, and construction.
Screwdriver
A hand tool used to tighten or loosen screws. It has a handle and a shaft with a tip that fits into the screw head. There are flat, philips and helical-ratchet screw drivers.
Holding Tools
Holding tools are designed
to grip, secure, or stabilize
objects during a task.
These tools are used to
keep items steady so that
they can be worked on
without shifting or moving.
Clamps
Clamps are essential tools for
holding workpieces together
securely. They come in various
types, each designed for specific
applications in woodworking,
metalworking, and construction.
There are following examples of
clamps : Tool-making clamps, C-
Clamps, Drill vise, Machinist vise,
Hand vise with V-blocks and
clamps, and Vise grip
Tool-making clamps are specialized holding tools used in
manufacturing and fabrication to securely grip
components during assembly and machining.
Tool-making clamps
C-clamps
C-clamps, characterized by their C-shaped frame, are versatile
tools for securely holding workpieces together, available in
various sizes for diverse applications in woodworking,
metalworking, and construction.
Drill vise
Drill vises are indispensable tools designed to
securely hold workpieces during drilling operations.
Their robust construction and adjustable jaws ensure
stability, enhancing precision and safety in both
woodworking and metalworking tasks.
Machinist vise
Machinist vises are robust tools used in metalworking for securely
clamping workpieces during operations like cutting, filing, and fitting.
Their sturdy construction and precise clamping action ensure stability
and accuracy in various machining tasks.
Hand vise with V-blocks and clamps
Hand vises with V-blocks and clamps are used to securely hold
round or irregular shaped objects during machining or assembly.
The V-blocks provide support, while the clamps ensure a firm
grip, enabling precise and safe operations.
Vise grip
also known as locking pliers, is a type of pliers that
can be locked into place to hold an object firmly.
Tongs
are a type of hand tool used for gripping, lifting, and
manipulating hot, heavy, or hard-to-handle objects.
Pliers
are a type of hand tool used for gripping, bending, cutting, or
manipulating objects. The jaws of pliers can be flat, curved, or
serrated, depending on their specific use.
Specialized tools used
to hold and secure
materials, workpieces,
or tools firmly in place
during the tool-making
or machining process.
Also known as locking
pliers, is a type of pliers
that can be locked into
place to hold an object
firmly.
Also called a box-end
wrench, is a tool used
to tighten or loosen
nuts and bolts. It has a
closed-loop (ring-
shaped) end that grips
all sides of the bolt for a
more secure hold.
A hand tool used to
tighten or loosen nuts
and bolts. It has U-
shaped openings on one
or both ends, designed
to fit specific bolt sizes.
It combines a vise,
which securely holds a
workpiece, with V-
blocks, which provide
additional stability for
round or cylindrical
objects.
ACTIVITY!!!!
Direction: In a ¼ sheet of paper, answer each
statement.
1. A type of hammer with a flat face on one side and a rounded,
ball-shaped peen on the other. It is primarily used for
metalworking, shaping metal, peening rivets, and striking
punches and chisels.
2. A tool used to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts with the
help of removable sockets that fit different sizes.
3. A type of clamp with a "C" shaped frame, designed to hold
objects securely in place.
4. Also called a box-end wrench, is a tool used to tighten or
loosen nuts and bolts.
5. A hand tool used to tighten or loosen screws.
