Course Syllabus // Chile
This comes from the description of a unit in a course in technical drawing for students in an Orthotics program in Chile:
Unidad I: Conceptos generals sobre manejo de útilies y geometría lineal.
Then later, one of the goals of this course is stated as:
Identificar útiles y elementos de dibujo técnico.
I did not find anything that seemed to match among the many glossary entries.
Thank you.

tools/equipment
I believe it would be "tools" here, but "útiles" can also mean "equipment" and, unfortunately, I have no way of knowing which it could be without seeing the whole text.

útiles mpl a) (herramientas, instrumentos) tools (pl), implements (pl); útiles de labranza: agricultural implements,
agricultural equipment; útiles de pesca: fishing tackle; útiles de jardinería: garden tools, gardening tools
