Feeler Gauge
B. Discuss what each tool is used for; and
1. Phillips Screwdriver- used for tightening or loosening screws;
has a + shape at the end that corresponds to a specific screw.
2. Combination End Wrench- used for tightening or loosening
nuts,bolts, etc.; it has both an open and box end.
3. Feeler Gauge- used for gauging the clearance or spacing of
valve tappets and other jobs where accurate measurements of
.001 to .032 may be desired.
C1. Refer to the earlier
discussion/drawing.
C2. Label each tool.
C3. Include the tool’s use.
C. Identify the tools and use them effectively.
