Which of the following is not an advantage of using a ratchet with a larger point-sized socket?
larger point sizes are stronger |
|
larger point sizes allow greater toque to be applied |
|
larger point sizes allow easier alignment |
|
all of these are advantages of larger point sizes |
A ratchet (or socket wrench) is a wrench that applies torque in only one direction with a handle that can be moved back and forth without losing contact with the fastener. A ratchet uses variable attachments called sockets which come in a variety of drive sizes based on the size of the opening that attaches to the ratchet. Sockets with the same drive size will vary in the shape (six-point, twelve-point) and size of the nut opening that attaches to the fastener being tightened or loosened. Smaller point sized sockets are stronger and can apply greater torque while larger point sizes allow easier alignment.
Which of the following determines whether a socket can be used with a particular ratchet?
the drive circumference |
|
the drive size |
|
the socket size |
|
the point size |

This tool is a(n) __________.
screwdriver |
|
chisel |
|
lever |
|
punch |
A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.
What is a caliper used for?
measuring thickness and irregular shapes |
|
making perfectly vertical lines |
|
ensuring that surfaces are level |
|
transferring distances between objects |
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.
Which of these saws is used with a miter box?
rip saw |
|
back saw |
|
hacksaw |
|
crosscut saw |
A miter box utlizes a back saw (a fine toothed saw with a rigid strip of steel opposite its blade edge) to make cuts in wood at a specified angle.
