1

This tool is a(n) __________.

66% Answer Correctly

punch

awl

screwdriver

chisel


Solution

A punch is narrow and is used to drive objects like nails (pin punch) or for making guide marks for drilling (center punch) or patterns in wood or metal.


2

Which of the following statements about welding is not true?

63% Answer Correctly

a weld can often be stronger than the base materials alone

welding is done at higher temperatures than soldering

no filler metal is required when welding

electric-arc welding is safer than oxyacetylene welding


Solution

Welding is a high-temperature process that involves melting the base metals in the objects to be joined to fuse them together. A filler metal is used to provide additional material to make up a joint that, depending on the weld type, can be stronger than the base materials alone. Oxyacetylene welding is a welding process that uses a torch fueled with oxygen and acetylene gases. Electric-arc welding utlizes electric current in a safer welding process (it doesn't involve burning explosive gases) that enables a wide variety of specialized applications like stick, MIG (metal inert gas), and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding.


3

What is a caliper used for?

56% Answer Correctly

transferring distances between objects

measuring thickness and irregular shapes

ensuring that surfaces are level

making perfectly vertical lines


Solution

Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.


4

Which of the following is not a common pliers configuration?

63% Answer Correctly

wire

locking

needle nose

adjustable joint


Solution

Pliers are designed to provide a mechanical advantage, allowing the force of the hand's grip to be amplified and focused with precision. Pliers also allow finer control over objects that are too small to be manipulated by the fingers alone. The standard configuration is combination pliers which provide a fixed maximum jaw width. Other styles include adjustable joint pliers that allow selecting jaw width, needle nose pliers for holding small objects in tight spaces and locking pliers that will lock in place to hold or clamp objects together.


5

Inside and outside micrometers measure inside and outside:

73% Answer Correctly

lengths

angles

diameters

tolerances


Solution

Micrometers measure the diameter of cylindrical objects. Outside micrometers measure the external diameter of cylinders and inside micrometers measure the internal diameter of the cylinder's hole.
