Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 106
The best tool ot tighten a rigid 1-inch conduit coupling ot a threaded conduit is/are.....
A. a monkey wrench
B. an adjustable wrench
C. adjustablepliers
D. a crescent wrench
CORRECT ANSWER
A. a Monkey Wrench
RATIONALE
A monkey wrench is a heavy-duty, adjustable wrench with straight jaws designed for gripping and
turning large, round objects like conduit couplings. Its robust construction and wide jaw opening
make it the most suitable tool for securely tightening rigid conduit couplings onto threaded
conduit, providing the necessary torque.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 106
Which si the best tool ot verify that equipment fastened ot a wal is parallel to the ground....
A . a level
B. a square
C. ruler
D. a laser
CORRECT ANSWER
A. a level
RATIONALE
A level is the best tool to verify that equipment fastened to a wall is parallel to the ground because
it directly measures horizontality. A level contains a bubble in a liquid-filled tube; when the bubble
is centered between two calibration marks, the surface it rests on is perfectly horizontal.

, Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 106
Which one of the folowing hand tools has a handle, a shank, and a blade?
A. pliers
B. wrench
C. hammer
D. screwdriver
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Screwdriver
RATIONALE
A screwdriver is characterized by its distinct components: a handle for grip, a shank (or shaft) that
connects the handle to the tip, and a blade, which is the shaped tip designed to engage with a
screw head. Pliers have jaws and handles, a wrench has jaws and a handle, and a hammer has a head
and a handle, none of which include a blade in the same manner as a screwdriver.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 106
You are working inside a high voltage sub-station installing new equipment. What is the
best tool to verify the dimensions of the high voltage equipment room (125 ft x 75 ft, as
stated ni the engineering design)?
A. metallic measuring tape
B. wooden folding rule
C. 100-foot cloth measuring tape
D. Pacing
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Wooden folding ruler
RATIONALE
Working inside a high voltage substation requires tools that do not conduct electricity to prevent
electrocution. A wooden folding rule is non-conductive and therefore the safest option for
verifying dimensions in this environment.

, Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 106
The best tool used to measure 15 feet of wire is a
A. slide rule
B. yard stick
C. measuring tape
D. Weight scale
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Yard stick
RATIONALE
A yardstick is a tool commonly used for measuring lengths up to one yard (3 feet). While a yardstick
can be used to measure 15 feet by repeatedly measuring 3-foot increments, it is not the most
efficient or precise tool for this specific length.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 106
The best tool for measuring a very long conduit run is
A. A measuring wheel
B. A long tape measure
C. A measure pull string tape
D. Experience
CORRECT ANSWER
A. A measuring wheel
RATIONALE
A measuring wheel is designed for accurately measuring long distances over varied terrain, making
it the most suitable tool for long conduit runs. Unlike a long tape measure, which can be
cumbersome and prone to sagging, or a pull string tape, which is less precise for extensive lengths,
a measuring wheel offers continuous measurement with a built-in counter.
