Exam 3: Basic Tools and Precision Measuring

Which of the following is affected by the gear ratio of the final drive assembly?

The measuring tape is pulled from the housing to measure items, and a spring return winds it back into the housing.

All of the following are types of files commonly used in the automotive industry, EXCEPT:

The digital torque wrench usually uses a spring steel bar with an electronic ________ to measure the amount of torque being applied.

Technician A says that torque wrenches need to be calibrated periodically to ensure proper torque values. Technician B says that when using a clicker-style torque wrench, keep turning the torque wrench 1/8 - 1/4 turn to make sure the bolt is properly tightened. Who is correct?

Locking pliers are helpful by freeing up one or more of your hands when you are working, because they can clamp something and lock themselves in place to hold it.

Technician A states that typically, technicians are required to purchase their own tools. Technician B states that some tools are shared between all the technicians. Who is correct?

A ______ has a hardened, sharpened blade. It is designed to remove a gasket without damaging the sealing face of the component.

The Allen head has an internal ______ recess that the Allen wrench fits in.

Tech A says that when using a micrometer, a "standard" is used to hold the part you are measuring. Tech B says that the micrometer spindle should be firmly closed against the anvil prior to storage. Who is correct?

The purpose of the final drive assembly is to:

You are ultimately responsible for your safety, so remember to _________.

Technician A says that lockout/tag-out is a safety procedure for a safe working environment. Technician B says that lockout is designed to secure a vehicle after all work on it has been completed. Who is correct?

To cut a thread in an awkward space, a T-shaped tap handle is very convenient.

Tech A says that torque wrenches need to be calibrated periodically to ensure proper torque values. Tech B says that when using a clicker-style torque wrench, keep turning the torque wrench ⅛-¼ turn to make sure the bolt is properly tightened. Who is correct?

When using a flaring tool to make a flare in a piece of tubing, match the size of the tube to the next size smaller in the tubing clamp.

Technician A states that an example of lockout would be physically locking out a tool or piece of equipment so that it can be accessed and used by someone who may be unaware of the potential danger of doing so. Technician B states that an example of a tagout would be affixing a clear and obvious label to a piece of equipment that describes the fault found.

The best way to approach a situation with a tight fastener is to use a box-end wrench to break the bolt or nut free, then use the open-end wrench to finish the job.

_______ can cut thin sheet metal, and lighter versions make it easy to follow the outline of gaskets.

All gear ratios are calculated by the formula:
