Applications may include hand tools used for adjusting, dismantling, assembling and finishing of items or components and the finishing, cutting, scraping of metallic and non-metallic material to size and shape. This includes simple tapping and threading. Routine maintenance tasks may include cleaning, lubricating, tightening, simple tool repairs, hand sharpening and adjustments using engineering principles, tools, equipment and procedures.
