Explore wrenches for nuts and bolts, including cross wrench, trench, wheel-opening, pipe, adjustable, monkey, snap and grip, snappin grip, and Alongi.

Explore pliers for toolbox safety, including combination pliers, nose pliers, grommet pliers, and locking pliers, and learn how a locking plier acts as a third hand during welding and lifting.

Explore the range of hammers and files, including rubber mallet (Amalek), sledgehammers for bricks and glass, claw and ball-peen hammers, machining hammers, and flat, round, and block files for shaping.

Explore a variety of cutting tools, from hacksaws, glass cutters, and sheet cutters to wire cutters and box cutters, plus chisels, for cutting metals, plastic, bolts, nails, and paper.

Explore measurement tools from toolbox safety: retractable tape for length, calipers for width, weight scales, angle meter (torpedo level) for 90-degree work, and a light meter for voltage.

Identify the electric drill's parts—the handle, chuck, and drill bit—and learn to change bits of different sizes, use a central punch, and apply safe hand and trigger control.

Operate a dual-function electric air blower and vacuum cleaner, highlighting its motor-driven air stream at 70 km/h and dust-collection capability for industrial applications.

Explore how an electric screwdriver operates with a motor, chuck, and handle, offering 23 torque levels and bidirectional control for screws and nuts, with interchangeable bits and safety notes.

Learn safe operation of an angle grinder, selecting metal, wood, or tile blades, wearing gloves and safety shoes, using the protective guard, and correct cutting directions.

Protect your ears while using power tools by wearing mufflers and ear plugs, reducing noise up to 21 decibels, and following a three-step method to insert plugs correctly.

Learn nose safety by comparing a five-layer N95 mask with active carbon and micro layers to a respirator for high-fume tasks, and practice proper nose coverage.

Explore eye safety basics with face shields and welding-specific protection, learn when to wear safety glasses, and understand 360-degree eye protection to guard against tool hazards.

Select and use the right gloves—natural coated, crinkle coated, leather for welding, and rubber for high tension wires—protecting hands from cuts and static, while avoiding capacitive smartphones.

Compare low and high ankle safety shoes with a single-piece leather upper, steel toes, and antiseptic outsole material that protects against nails, heat up to 150 degrees celsius, and slips.

Explain head safety with hard hats that indicate roles on site, blue for tool workers, yellow for machinery operators, red for firefighters, green for safety officers, and white for supervisors.

Learn to interpret safety signs at work, including the safety cone barrier and work in progress cautions, and walk safely with proper gear to prevent hazards and tripping risks.

Carry tools in a tool belt to keep hands free and reduce hazards in construction, while wearing a reflective belt with a reflective surface for visibility.

Learn to wear a harness for protection when working at heights above 20 feet; the harness's buckles and straps hold the body, with anchors in two directions to prevent falls.

Explore four ladder safety rules: ensure the ladder is intact, place it at a 4:1 base-to-height ratio, and avoid carrying items while climbing; always maintain three points of contact.

Learn four lifting safety rules to protect your back: keep the object in front, close to you, not more than 35 percent of your feet, and keep your back straight.

Master tool handling and optics safety by keeping tools facing up, using clamps to fix objects, and selecting nails, screws, or bolts with appropriate fasteners and wrenches.

Learn electrical safety basics for home and work, including extension boards for light loads, securing and taping wires, and using MCP specification with the MKB circuit breaker to prevent overloads.
