ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR
Electrical conductor is any material that offers little resistance to the flow
of an electric current. The difference between a conductor and an insulator,
which is a poor conductor of electricity or heat, is one of degree rather than kind,
because all substances conduct electricity to some extent. A good conductor of
electricity, such as silver or copper, may have conductivity a billion or more times
as great as the conductivity of a good insulator, such
as
glass
or
mica.

Nowadays, the speed and productivity are very important, and therefore
many works in the workshop are being done with the power tools and machines.
However, any good craftsman knows that the quality result lies in the balance
between the handwork and machine work. In many cases during
the
manufacture, the craftsman has to decide whether some operation will be done
with the hand tools or with the machine. Such decision should always be made
by considering which method is more efficient, which method you are adept to,
which
methods
produce
better
work
and
which
method
is
cheaper.
Always use right hand tool for the job. This way
you get the best job with the least effort, the least
damage to the tool and the least danger to
yourself.
In some cases, hand tools are faster than
the machines. Of course, if many identical parts
need to be cut, hand tools are definitely slower.
But if you work on some unique project, it will
surely be easier to perform some operations with
the hand tools, rather than to waste time to set up and configure your machine.
One of the important advantages of hand tools is that they are cheaper
than the power tools, so if in your work you do not have a specific need for this
type of tools, it will be much more cost-effective to buy less expensive hand tool
and use it occasionally, than to buy an expensive power tool which will lay on the
shelf. Besides that, the hand tools are indispensable for the house maintenance.
Various jobs on the house are occasional, so it is not profitable to invest a lot of
money in various power tools. Another great advantage of hand tools is that they
are much safer than the power tools, and this is important for both craftsmen
beginners and for the amateurs, who use hand tools just for quick repairs.
Exercise
Hand tools can be divided into several groups:
