[[Tools]] (both hand tools and power tools) are stored at various locations in the Maker Hub. Tools do not require certified training before use, but users are expected to familiarize themselves with tool operation by viewing the appropriate Wiki page. Furthermore, as part of the '''Safety First'' commandment, users are encouraged to seek help and instruction for any tool that they feel uncomfortable using. Volunteers will be available to serve these needs.
 +
 
This page contains a list of the tools available in the Maker Hub. Please see the [[Tool Room]] page for more information.

  |Hammer

  |Cordless Drill
−
  |A hammer is a tool with a heavy "head" and a handle. The purpose is to supply an impact to a small area of an object. Some uses include driving nails into wood, shaping metal, or driving stakes. Hammers are also used to strike chisels and other tools like metal punches. A hammer can be very dangerous if it slips out of the users hand. Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer due to the risk of material flying into your eye. 
+
  |You can use a cordless drill driver to drill or bore holes, drive screws, assemble furniture, and woodworking.

  |Soldering Iron
 
  |A hand tool which heats metal solder in order to join two components. Soldering is most commonly used to join electrical components in a circuit. There are two soldering kits for use at the electronics station in the center of the Maker Hub, and there are also several available for checkout in the Tool Room. For your safety, please always place the soldering iron in its holder when not in use. Always use a fume extractor to protect yourself from harmful fumes. Soldering kits also come with a tackle box containing useful tools for soldering, such as wire crimpers. Please make sure all contents of this box are returned when you finish using a soldering kit.

Revision as of 13:28, 4 August 2022

Tools (both hand tools and power tools) are stored at various locations in the Maker Hub. Tools do not require certified training before use, but users are expected to familiarize themselves with tool operation by viewing the appropriate Wiki page. Furthermore, as part of the 'Safety First commandment, users are encouraged to seek help and instruction for any tool that they feel uncomfortable using. Volunteers will be available to serve these needs.

This page contains a list of the tools available in the Maker Hub. Please see the Tool Room page for more information.
