Workshop Hand Tools and Heavy Equipment Supply
Good tools and equipment are essential for the effective operation of any civil works site. Equipping the construction site with the correct tools and equipment plays an essential role in achieving timely and good quality results. For every construction activity there is an optimal combination of tools, equipment, and labour. Depending on the nature and content of the works, the technical staff needs to know which tools to use and how to effectively combine them with manual labour.
Various projects can be built with the simplest of tools, along with an assortment of hand tools. Consider the workshop tools available from Mount Spiral as investments. Evaluate your goals and choose the workshop tools that best suits your needs. There is no need to buy them all at once, but as your skills progress and your projects grow more complex add the tools that will give you the right results.
Construction work has undergone major changes. Once dependent upon craftsmanship with simple mechanical aids, the industry now relies largely on machines and equipment.New equipment, machinery, materials, and methods have contributed to the industry’s development.
Instead of small, basic materials, such as bricks, tiles, board and light concrete, prefabricated construction units are commonly used today. Equipment has expanded from simple hand tools and transport facilities to complex machinery. Similarly, methods have changed, for instance, from wheelbarrowing to the pumping of concrete and from manual lifting of materials to the lifting of integrated elements with the assistance of cranes.
Innovations in equipment, machinery and materials can be expected to continue to appear.

Tools and Construction
For every construction activity there is an optimum combination of equipment and labour. Depending on the nature and content of the works, the technical staff needs to know which tools to use and how to effectively combine them with manual labour. To utilize the equipment and labour in the most effective way, the use of equipment needs to be carefully coordinated with the output of the work gangs. For certain construction activities, particularly hauling of materials and compaction, high labour productivity and good quality of work may be difficult to achieve using only manual.
Once on site, equipment requires trained operators and supervisory staff who are proficient in its operation and maintenance. Faulty equipment is a common reason for delays on construction sites. An important duty of the project management is to ensure that tools and equipment are maintained in a good condition and are readily available when required for the various work activities. When applying labour-based work methods, the use of hand tools supported with selected items of light equipment can produce results comparable with those achieved when using only heavy equipment.

Key Points and Supporting Information
Wear approved eye protection
Industrial-quality eye protection should be always worn.
Wear proper clothing
This varies depending on the type of hand tool you are working with. Work clothing should not be loose, baggy, or highly flammable. To protect against burns, wear clothing such as coveralls, high-top shoes, leather aprons and leather gloves. Remove all paper from pockets and wear cuffless pants. When working with heavy metals wear hard-toed shoes with non-skid soles. Avoid wearing synthetic clothing because it has a low flashpoint, which can result in severe burns. Do not wear jewelry. It can get caught in moving parts.
Protect your hair, scalp, and head
Pull back long hair in a band or a cap to keep it from getting caught in tools. Be extremely careful with long hair when using a drill or drill press. When handling carpentry materials wear a hard hat or bump cap to protect your head.
Watch your fingers
Take special care when hammering so that you strike the object, not your fingers.
Keep your mind on your work
Avoid horseplay and loud talk. Loud talking as well as pushing, running, and scuffling while working with hand tools can cause serious accidents. Be alert and work defensively
Keep work area and tools clean
Dirty, greasy, and oily tools and floors can cause accidents. Clean and put away all unneeded tools and materials. Clean up spills and scraps from the floor and equipment. Keep paths to exits clear. If conditions are dusty, use a respirator.
Use tools properly
Always use proper-sized tools and equipment for the job. Use each tool only for the job for which it was intended. Forcing a small tool to do the job of a large one may result in injury or tool damage. Never use a screwdriver to see if electrical circuits are hot. Never use a machinist's hammer in place of a carpenter's hammer. Do not strike a hardened steel surface, such as an anvil, with a steel hammer because a small piece of steel may break off and injure someone. Be sure wrenches fit properly. Never use pliers in place of a wrench. Never strike wrenches with hammers. Pull on wrenches, do not push. When sawing secure the material in the saw vise.
Keep cutting-edge tools sharp
Dull cutting-edge tools are dangerous, as they require excessive pressure and hammering to make them cut. When cutting always cut away from the body. Before using any cutting tool, remove nails or other objects that might destroy the tool's cutting edge
Carry and store tools properly
All sharp-edge tools and chisels should be carried with the cutting edge down. Never carry sharp tools in a pocket. Store all sharp edge cutting tools with the sharp edges down
Inspect tools before using
Avoid using damaged tools. Tools that appear to be damaged or have broken handles should be marked unsafe. Do not use them until they have been repaired.
Grip tools firmly
Hold hand tools securely so that they do not slip and hit someone. Do not wear gloves--they are bulky and make gripping tools difficult
