What’s in a mechanics’ toolkit?
To ensure precise, reliable and safe engine repairs, mechanics require a comprehensive selection of strong, durable and well-constructed mechanics’ tools.
Professional automotive technicians typically have limited time in which to perform complex mechanical tasks, often in tight spaces.
Having the right tools close at hand can streamline the process, maximise uptime and drive business growth.
Quality mechanic’s toolkits at Masterparts have all the essential hand tools, including:
- tongue and groove, long nose and slip joint pliers
- groove lock and vice grip pliers
- wire tripper pliers
- ratcheting wrench set
- torque wrench
- socket set, and
- breaker bar.
An air compressor and hydraulic floor jack are value-added must-haves for any automotive repair shop.
Automotive tools for car owners
DIY car enthusiasts can get away with a few basic automotive tools.
A good quality socket and wrench set, screwdrivers, pliers and a torque wrench are usually all that’s required to carry out rudimentary engine repairs.
Masterparts consultants are available to help car owners select the tools they need, based on their mechanical experience.
What to look for in automotive tools and toolkits
When investing in mechanics’ tools, it is important to assess the quality of the metal the tools are manufactured from.
Hand tools made from heat-treated steel or chrome-vanadium steel are corrosion-resistant and hard-wearing.
The construction of automotive tools is also key. Sturdily constructed joints and handles that fit comfortably in the hand, ensure the tools last longer and are easier to use over long periods of time.
Low cost toolkits have low-quality tools, and that can compromise efficiency, safety and reputation.
