Questions and Answers

1.

You should avoid using or replace a chisel head if it has become flattened, damaged or _________________.
- A.
  
  Mushroomed
- B.
  
  Pointed
- C.
  
  Turned colors
Correct Answer
A. Mushroomed

Explanation
If a chisel head has become flattened, damaged, or mushroomed, it should be replaced or avoided. Mushrooming refers to the deformation of the chisel head, causing it to expand and become wider than its original shape. This can occur due to excessive force or striking the chisel against a hard surface. A mushroomed chisel head can be dangerous to use as it may cause the chisel to slip or break during use, leading to potential injury. Therefore, it is important to replace or avoid using a chisel head that has mushroomed.

A tool used to cut or shape wood, stone or metals and has a beveled edge is called ______________________.
- A.
  
  Punch
- B.
  
  Chisel
- C.
  
  Screwdriver
Correct Answer
B. Chisel

Explanation
A chisel is a tool used for cutting or shaping wood, stone, or metals. It is characterized by a beveled edge, which allows it to effectively remove material when struck with a hammer or mallet. Unlike a punch or a screwdriver, a chisel is specifically designed for working with hard materials and creating precise cuts or carvings.

A tool used to drive posts or stakes is called a _______________________________.
- A.
  
  Sledgehammer
- B.
  
  Pick
- C.
  
  Hammer
Correct Answer
A. Sledgehammer

Explanation
A sledgehammer is a heavy-duty tool specifically designed for driving posts or stakes into the ground. Its large and heavy head, combined with a long handle, allows for powerful and forceful strikes, making it ideal for tasks that require a significant amount of impact. The weight and design of a sledgehammer make it more effective than a regular hammer or pick when it comes to driving posts or stakes securely into the ground.

When using a nail puller, be sure that the material holding the nail is ____________________.
- A.
  
  Braced
- B.
  
  Clean
- C.
  
  Dry
Correct Answer
A. Braced

Explanation
When using a nail puller, it is important to ensure that the material holding the nail is braced. This means that it should be supported or reinforced in order to prevent any movement or damage while removing the nail. If the material is not braced, there is a risk of it shifting or breaking, which could lead to accidents or further damage to the surrounding area. Therefore, it is crucial to brace the material securely before using a nail puller.

While prying with a nail puller, be sure to keep your footing _____________.
- A.
  
  Balanced
- B.
  
  Wedged
- C.
  
  Insulated
Correct Answer
A. Balanced

Explanation
When prying with a nail puller, it is important to keep your footing balanced. This means maintaining a stable and even position to prevent any slips or falls while exerting force with the tool. A balanced footing ensures better control and reduces the risk of accidents or injuries during the prying process.

You should never use a screwdriver near ________________ due to risk of electrical shock.
- A.
  
  Cables
- B.
  
  Live wires
- C.
  
  Water
Correct Answer
B. Live wires

Explanation
Using a screwdriver near live wires can be extremely dangerous because it poses a risk of electrical shock. Live wires carry electrical current, and if a screwdriver comes into contact with them, it can create a path for the electricity to flow through the person holding the screwdriver, resulting in a potentially fatal electrical shock. Therefore, it is important to avoid using a screwdriver near live wires to ensure personal safety.

Rate this question:

Which hammer is primarily used for metalworking?
- A.
  
  Ball-peen hammer
- B.
  
  Claw hammer
Correct Answer
A. Ball-peen hammer

Explanation
The ball-peen hammer is primarily used for metalworking because it has a rounded end on one side, called the ball-peen, which is used to shape and mold metal. The flat end of the hammer is used for striking and pounding metal. In contrast, the claw hammer is primarily used for woodworking tasks, such as driving and pulling out nails.

8.

Which screwdriver head will provide torque power?
- A.
  
  Robertson
- B.
  
  Phillips
- C.
  
  Allen
Correct Answer
A. Robertson

Explanation
The Robertson screwdriver head will provide torque power. The Robertson screwdriver, also known as a square drive, has a square-shaped socket that fits securely onto the corresponding square-shaped screw head. This design allows for maximum torque transfer, minimizing the risk of slippage and providing more power when turning the screw. Phillips and Allen screwdriver heads have different designs and are not specifically designed for torque power.

Rate this question:
9.

Which screwdriver head has a star-shaped tip?
- A.
  
  Allen
- B.
  
  Torx
- C.
  
  Phillips
Correct Answer
B. Torx

Explanation
The correct answer is Torx. Torx screwdriver heads have a star-shaped tip with six points, allowing for a better grip and reducing the risk of slipping. This design is commonly used in industries such as automotive and electronics, where precision and torque are crucial. Allen and Phillips screwdriver heads have different shapes and are not star-shaped.

Which tool is used to indent metal before drilling a hole?
- A.
  
  Punch
- B.
  
  Chisel
- C.
  
  Screwdriver
Correct Answer
A. Punch

Explanation
A punch is used to indent metal before drilling a hole. This is because a punch creates a small indentation or mark on the metal surface, which serves as a guide for the drill bit. By creating this indentation, the punch helps to prevent the drill bit from slipping or wandering off course while drilling. This ensures more accurate and precise drilling on the metal surface.
