All Aircraft…
Mechanics, aircraft
maintenance is not about
grabbing a tool and going
to work. it’s about using
the
right tool
to do
maintenance the
right way.
Using the wrong
tool wastes
time, reduces
efficiency, and
puts you at risk
of injury.
Take the
common
hammer
for instance.
it’s a tool
mechanics use
a lot.
But are
hammers a one-
size-fits-all?
nope!
Not all hammers are
the same. And they’re
made for
different
kinds of work!
The heads of hammers
are made of metal,
plastic, rubber or wood
and they come mounted
on wood, metal or
fiberglass handles.
The next time
you choose a
hammer, make
sure it’s the
right one
for
the job.
For the finer points
on
hammer care and
maintenance,
check out
Chap 4 of TM 1-1500-204-
23-9,
General Aircraft
Maintenance (Tools
tand Ground Support
Equipment).
Now let’s hammer
out the details on
types of hammers and
mallets you’ll find in
your tool box.
I’m a
seTTing
hammer but
people keep
using me to
do—
No

head can’t
take it

to listen to you!
