A dial bore gauge can determine whether a cylinder bore is:

Mechanical fingers use a flexible body and come in different lengths, but typically are about _____ long.

A set of safety practices and procedures that are intended to reduce the risk of technicians inadvertently using tools that have been determined to be unsafe is known as:

Technician A says that knowing how to use tools correctly creates a safe working environment. Technician B says that a flare nut wrench is used to loosen very tight bolts and nuts. Who is correct?

Split ball gauges use a similar principle as the telescoping gauge, but the measuring head uses a split ball mechanism that allows it to fit into very small holes.

Technician A states that some torque wrenches will give an audible signal such as a click or a beep when the specified torque has been reached. Technician B states that some torque wrenches will give a visual signal such as a light or a pin moving or clicking out when the specified torque has been reached. Who is correct?

A dial bore gauge can determine whether a cylinder bore is:

You should always think about the task you are undertaking, select the correct tools for the task, and use each tool as it was designed.

Tech A says that it is usually better to pull a wrench to tighten or loosen a bolt. Tech B says that pushing a wrench will protect your knuckles if the wrench slips. Who is correct?

When driving on rough and hilly off-road terrain, a(n) ____ gear works well.

Telescoping gauges come in a variety of sizes to fit various sizes of holes and bores.

To maintain accuracy of measurements, it is important that both the micrometer and the items to be measured are clean and free of any:

A _________ can be used to install a hubcap, or to break a gasket seal on an aluminum housing.

Technician A states that there are many applications for blind rivets, and various rivet types and tools may be used to do the riveting. Technician B states that a typical pop or blind rivet has a body that forms the finished rivet, and a mandrel, which is discarded when the riveting is completed. Who is correct?

A _______ punch is also named a starter punch because you should always use it first to get a pin moving.

This early engine had one belt-driven high gear for speed, and one belt-driven low gear for increased torque:

All power tools are corded and have to be plugged in.

All dial indicator sets contain various attachments and support arms so they can be configured specifically for the measuring task.

_____ pliers, also called vice grips, are general-purpose pliers used to clamp and hold one or more objects.

Which of these wrenches can be awkward to use once the nut or bolt has been loosened a bit?
