Hydraulic Hand Tools, Part 2

The purpose of this course is to teach the basic principles of operation of three types of hydraulic hand tools: chain saws, impact wrenches, and presses. In addition to showing how these tools work, the course explains how to use them to perform some of the tasks commonly assigned to transmission and distribution linemen. At the conclusion of this course, participants should have a basic understanding of how hydraulic chain saws, impact wrenches, and presses operate. They should also know how to use and maintain each type of tool safely and efficiently.
