Tool kit

One needs a lot of various accessories for car repair and maintenance. In order not to buy them separately, you can order a set of tools. It includes items of different sizes and with different uses which allow working on almost any car unit and its fasteners.

Types of sets of tools

According to the equipment included:

• Multi-purpose. They comprise the most popular tools of different configurations. For example, these sets can include both open-ended and ring spanners. Moreover, manufacturers add screwdrivers, plier-type tools (combination pliers, side cutters, locking pliers, etc.), ratchets, tap wrenches, extensions, universal joints, files, pin punches, chisels, hammers and so on.
• Special. They are made for working with a certain unit or for performing a specific operation. For example, this may be a set of half-moon or torque spanners, hook and pick set for sealing rings, trim removal tools, tool sets for brake system maintenance.

In catalogues of some firms, you can find household-grade and professional products. The first ones usually don’t have many items and are intended for DIYers. The second type is suitable for car service stations and includes more tools. One can buy sets with 9 or 14 items as well as 125 or 235. The more tools the manufacturer offers, the higher the price is.

Chrome-vanadium or chrome-molybdenum steel is used as production material for working elements of most tools. Interior trim removal tools can be made of durable plastics.

Tips on using sets of tools

1. Study the user manual beforehand. Mind the safety precautions, in particular, wear eyes, hands and respiratory protection.
2. Before using, check the accessories for defects. Use only operable devices.
