L2 2020 Engineering Hand Tools
This is all the hand tools that we used during our two projects this year.
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of the selection, use, and care of engineering hand tools.
Evidence to Support US 2395 v9 Level 2 worth 4 Credits

NSN 0135464244
This is an entry-level unit standard for people to demonstrate a basic understanding of selecting, using and caring for the correct type of engineering hand tools.
People credited with this unit standard are able to demonstrate knowledge of the selection of different types of hand tools; select and use engineering hand tools to meet task requirements; and care for engineering hand tools.
Engineering hand tools applicable to this unit standard fall within the following categories:
Cutting tools: examples – hacksaws, chisels, files, hole punches, tin snips.
Assembly tools: examples – hammers, punches, vices, clamps, spanners, wrenches (including impact and torque), pliers.
My evidence to support my assessment booklet
Cutting tools.
![]() | Hack saw This me using a hacksaw with a t blade to cut my angle bar. |
![]() | Metal file This is me using a file to square out my angle bar for the side rails for the push plate to slide back and forwards. |
![]() | Tin snips I used tin snips to cut out my push plate because it’s nice and easy with a all good finish |
Assembly tools
| Spanner or wrench In this photo this is me using to spanners to change the drill bit in the mill |
| Hammer This is me using a ball point hammer to hammer a nail punch to mark out my holes for my handle of the can crusher. |
| Gripping tools This me using the vice to hold my 20x20 bar for |
What have I learnt?
I have learnt a lot more this year about how to use tools correctly and what there for.
What was the most difficult tool to use and why?
Probably tin snips because sometimes there really hard to cut certain material
What did I enjoy? All of it it was a good experience and has prepared me for a engineering job in the future
What would I do differently next time? Slow down a bit and don’t rush as much as I did.

L2 2020 Engineering Gear Knob and Can Crusher.
Work in Progress
This is my photo evidence of my Can Crusher And the designs I used. I started this project at the start of 2020 and finished at the end of term 2, it was good project to do because theirs all different types of tools and machines to use for this project.
This is my photo evidence of my Gear Knob with drawings. This project started at the end of term two and really enjoyed it, I will probably use this in my car at some stage. And I have used a few new tools for this project. It has a nice polish finish with a nice top cap that I made on the lathe. Overall I’m happy with the outcome.

What makes a home earthquake proof
What was successful? the height of it won it for us and the earthquake proof was also a little successful.
What do architecture do to make super talk buildings safe? They make a good foundation.
