Introduction: What a Tool Kit Must Consist Of?

About: I am an A-Levels Student at Karachi Grammar School, Pakistan. My passion is physics and mechanics and I want to be a Mechanical Engineer in the future. Actually anything in the field of engineering would do. :P

So today I bought my own tool box, and I came up with the idea of making my own tool kit. Quite often, people come across the question about what a tool kit must consist of? Well today is your lucky day. 

I will be telling you what exactly, you should have in your tool kit. :)

However I don't have everything in my tool kit yet.

Step 1: Long Nose Pliers

Long Nose Pliers or Needle Nose Pliers are used to bend re-position or cut wire.

Step 2: Lineman's Pliers

Lineman's Pliers are used for gripping small objects and to cut and bend wires and cable wires. 

Step 3: Wire Cutters/Strippers

The name gives this tools purpose away. They are mainly used to strip off the insulation from wires or cut wires simply. 

Step 4: Hammer

Hammers are used for driving nails, fitting parts, forging metal, and breaking up objects into small pieces. 

Step 5: Scissors

Scissors are hand-operated cutting instruments. Scissors are used for cutting various thin materials, such as paper, cardboard, metal foil, thin plastic, cloth, rope, and wire.

Step 6: Slotted Screwdriver

A screwdriver is a tool for driving screws.

Step 7: Phillips Screwdriver

A screwdriver is a tool for driving screws.

Step 8: 31 in 1 Screwdriver Set

This precision screwdriver set contains 31 different screw heads and can be used to drive all sorts of  varying screws. 

Step 9: Utility Knife

A utility knife is a knife used for general or utility purposes. The utility knife is suitable for general work such as cutting wire, paper or cardboard. 

Step 10: Saw and Hacksaw

A hacksaw is a fine-tooth saw with a blade under tension in a frame, used for cutting materials such as metal or plastics or wood. 

Step 11: Tongue and Groove Pliers

Tongue-and-groove pliers are commonly used for turning and holding nuts and bolts, gripping irregularly shaped objects, and clamping materials.

Step 12: Hex Keys

A Allen key, or hex key is a tool of hexagonal cross-section used to drive bolts and screws that have a hexagonal socket in the head.

Step 13: Open End Wrench

A wrench or spanner is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying torque to turn objects—usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts—or keep them from turning.

Step 14: Box End Wrench

A wrench or spanner is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying torque to turn objects—usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts—or keep them from turning.

Step 15: Small Screwdrivers

These screwdrivers are used for minute screws. You don't need these if you have the precision screwdriver set.

Step 16: Soldering Iron

A soldering iron is a hand tool most commonly used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt the solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces.

Step 17: 10" Wrench

A wrench or spanner is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying torque to turn objects—usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts—or keep them from turning.

Step 18: Meter Tape

A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible form of ruler. Its flexibility allows for a measure of great length to be easily carried in pocket or toolkit and permits one to measure around curves or corners.

Step 19: Tapes

Electrical tape or insulating tape is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other material that conduct electricity.

Step 20: Super Glue and Other Adhesives

Super Glue can be used to stick materials weighing tonnes to each other. It is known to stick in seconds. 

Step 21: Electrical Tester

This tester has a thin end like a screwdriver enabling it to enter sockets to test current. It is insulated from the other end  to avoid the user from being electrocuted. 

Step 22: Connecting Wires

I created these, and now I end up using them everywhere. 

Step 23: Screws, Eye Hooks and Washers

We all know what these are used for. :P

Step 24: Others

Newton Meters are mainly used to measure weights such as metal or wood. 

9V batteries are used to power up small circuits.

Step 25: The Tool Box

I bought my tool box for approximately $15 (both of them).

Thank You :)
