wow it seems ages since i've been in front of the camera hopefully you've been watching the journey
of my learners within the workshop and on site as my adults work towards a domestic installer
qualification and my learners are now finishing off either a level one level two or level three
diploma the video i'm putting together today is to help my new learners coming in from September
we're going to look at the basic 10 tools that Tresham college give each of our learners when
they're working within the workshop i have two toolboxes here both with 10 tools in and we're
going to look closer at what they physically look like and then we're going to name those
tools as well we're not fortunate enough to have physically the same looking tools in each box so
we're going to have to be very careful to identify our tools for example being both of these tools
here which we call a medium flat tip screwdriver or possibly electrician's screwdriver are exactly
the same named for us within our toolbox but obviously physically look different so we're
going to look at two of the toolboxes that we've got here at Tresham and we're going to name the
tools identically in both but physically look at the differences between them we're going to bring
the camera in closer in order to do so let's do that in the next part of the presentation so i've
emptied from the two tool boxes one this side and one this side three screwdrivers so three
screwdrivers and in the case here a bradawl on each end so we're going to need to identify and
name these tools as we just said a moment ago that we've got this screwdriver here with a
flat head on it physically don't look the same and possibly even the width of the actual flat
on the screwdriver is not identical however at a poor old college like we are this will be the
screwdriver that we're going to use and name as our electrician screwdriver or medium flat tip so
we should have one of these in each of our tool boxes this is a medium flat tip screwdriver not
quite the same physically but they are the medium flat tip that you will find in your
toolbox next screwdriver out in both cases here again we can see they're not physically the same
the tip on this one is slightly smaller than the tip on this one and we're not going to describe
it by the size of these tips because they're all obviously slightly different we're going
to describe this tool as our terminal screwdriver we can see that it is smaller than our electrician
screwdriver and that is our terminal screwdriver actual applications of these tools will be talked
about in the classroom and workshop at the moment it's just identifying them so we have a terminal
screwdriver the smallest flat headed screwdriver in your box next screwdriver out again we can see
they're physically look different it's the head style again we're describing in this case these
are pozidrive screwdrivers we're not going to talk about it in a number for the pozi we're
just going to call that a pozidrive screwdriver for those and then finally not a screwdriver a
tool for starting holes and those are bradawl so we can see again slightly different looking tools
but actually the ends are what we're looking at in order and the width and length of to describe
that as a bradawl for starting holes so i've got two tools out now from each of the boxes in this
case i've got a pair of pliers from each box a game not exactly physically the same size or
even the same style but we're looking at them to be pliers we've got a cutting action here and the
ability to grip on the ends so both of those will be named pliers within our tool kits and then as
we move out to the outside we've got these again physically not look the same as in colour wise
but we have got the same sort of action and motion got the ability to cut on both of these and these
are side cutters so we've got in tool boxes we'll have pliers and we will have side cutters within
the 10 tools within a Tresham toolbox each of our toolboxes will also have a hammer in them
so we've got hammers here and these are both claw hammers so we get a hammer in each of the
toolboxes first tool that's actually the same physically looking within the toolboxes we've
got our junior hacksaw so another one of our 10 tools is a junior hacksaw tape measures so they
should be approximately five meters for all of them but not necessarily are so we always look
for the imex one they're the best tape measures we've got within our toolboxes so we've got a five
meter tape measure in both cases again physically don't look the same by colour but they are our
five meter tape measures and then our knives so here we have a fixed blade knife here and we've
got another fixed blade knife here this time it has a cover on it again physically don't look the
same but we have a knife within our 10 tools of our Tresham toolbox so that's just a quick
look at the 10 tools that Tresham college give their learners during their practical sessions
we're going to need to remember and name those very early on in September when you come to me
however all the learners i interviewed had either a playstation or an xbox when i got out a Tresham
toolbox and pulled out some of those tools all of those learners struggled or couldn't name any
of those tools and as i said at interview time to sell your xbox and buy yourself a toolbox joking
aside let's run through those ten tools once more medium flat tip or electrician's screwdriver
within the Tresham toolbox a pozidrive screwdriver a terminal screwdriver and a bradawl for starting
or making holes hammer in this case a claw hammer within our toolbox a five meter tape measure
a junior hacksaw
side cutters a pair of pliers and the fixed blade knife are all tools
found within a Tresham toolbox i hope this video has been some help
