slotted screws.

Philips head screwdriver – used to loosen or tighten cross-head screws.

Torx screwdriver - used to loosen or tighten screws

that have a star-like depression on the top, a feature

that is mainly found on laptop.

Hex driver – sometimes called a nut driver, is used to

tighten nuts in the same way that a screwdriver

tightens screws.

Needle-nose plier – used to hold small parts.

Wire cutter – used to strip and cut wires.

Tweezers – used to manipulate small parts.

Part retriever – used to retrieve parts from location that are too small for your hand to fit.

Flashlight – used to light up areas that you cannot see

well.

Crimper – is a devise used to conjoin two pieces of metal

by deforming one or both of them in a way that causes

them to hold each other.

Network cables and phone cables are created using a

crimping tool (shown below) to join the RJ-45 and RJ-

11 connectors to both ends of either phone or Cat

5 cable.(computerhope.com)
