1. Identify the following tools and know their use:
a. Hammer
Hammers come in many varieties designed for various tasks. We suggest learning about a few different types like sledge, claw, finishing, roofing, ball-pinion etc. Hammers can be used to pound nails, drive or pound things, break or shape things and in the case of claw hammers, remove nails.
b. Screwdriver, regular
The most common screwdriver is the slotted. It has a straight end to fit in the slot of the screw.
c. Screwdriver, Phillips
Perhaps the next most common is the Philips (the inventor's name) which looks like a + sign when viewed from the bottom. Also popular is the Robertson with square end. Philips and Robertson screwdrivers are less likely to slip than slotted, which is why nearly all screws you would use a drill on are these two styles.
=d. Pliers, regular
e. Pliers, needle nose
f. Wire cutters
g. Vise grip
h. Square
i. Level
A level is a tool that contains one to three bubble gages. When the bubble is in the middle the level is level. Better levels have horizontal, vertical and diagonal gages. Levels are also useful for drawing straight lines (like a big ruler) and quickly squaring before cutting.

k. Saw, hack
l. Saw, circular
m. Drill and bits
m. Plumb line
o. Retractable steel tape
p. Miter box

3. Using a drill of your choice, drill a hole in wallboard and install an anchor (molly) and screw.
4. Install two screws in wood. Show ability to use both regular and Phillips types of screw drivers.

5. Demonstrate ability to rewire a simple plug--as installing a new plug on a lamp cord or repairing an existing one.
6. Using square and handsaw, demonstrate ability to saw a board at right angles.
