Uses of Tools in PC / Hardware Servicing: Electricity Electrical Short Dielectric Breakdown

Electrostatic discharge tools like anti-static wrist straps and mats are used to prevent static electricity from damaging computer hardware. Common hand tools used in PC servicing include screwdrivers for different head types, pliers, tweezers, and flashlights for illuminating hard to see areas. Cleaning tools such as lint-free cloths and compressed air help remove dust without damaging components, while cable ties and parts organizers help with cable management and storing small parts. Diagnostic tools like multimeters and loopback adapters are used to test circuits and component functionality.
