Automotive Tools FAQ

What automotive tools should every mechanic have?

Keeping a car in top shape calls for specialised automotive tools and equipment:
  • Auto electrician tools like a ratchet and top-notch socket set are essential kit. For the best results, this should include deep sockets to reach recessed bolts, and low-profile sockets for working in tight spaces.
  • Adjustable wrenches also come in handy, as does an oil filter wrench and torque wrench.
  • You also can’t go past a good set of pliers to grab, pull or hold things in place, screwdrivers, and a multimeter for diagnostics.
  • And for easy access? You’ll need a reliable jack to give you the space to easily work under the car.

What are automotive tools?

Cars are complex machines that have parts you won’t find in your average home garage or worksite. Automotive tools are specifically designed to be used with the components you’ll find in a range of vehicles, making repairs easy. Built tough to withstand heavy-duty use, some auto tools are multipurpose, while others are specific to certain components, such as circlip pliers or spark plug sockets. Looking for automotive power tools? These beasts include tools like hoists for lifting heavy vehicles, garage equipment like air jacks or sandblasters, and impact wrenches for things like bolts and lug nuts.
