Every motorist should always have a set of tools at hand for unforeseen minor repairs of an iron horse. But choosing automotive tools is a tricky process.
Necessary
- - plastic case;
- - catalog with automotive tools.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what you need the tool for. If you are constantly engaged in self-repair of a car, then you need a professional tool. It is usually much more expensive than usual. This tool includes special devices and devices that allow you to carry out complex repair work, for example, straightening and pulling the car body. If you only occasionally make some minor repairs on your own, then you do not need to have such complex and expensive equipment. In this case, it is more advisable to purchase a ready-made suitcase with everything you need.
Step 2
Pay attention to the country of manufacture when choosing tools. Cheap Chinese and Taiwanese instruments can be swept aside immediately, as they deteriorate very quickly. For example, you can break a Chinese key before you unscrew the nut with it. Russian-made tools are of higher quality and durability, but they are also far from ideal. If you want the instrument you bought to serve for more than a dozen years, then purchase products from Western European manufacturers. It has a higher cost, but has the best performance.
Step 3
Consider the type of vehicle for which the instrument is being purchased. It is logical that the tools designed for the repair of cars and trucks are somewhat different from each other. It is also worth paying attention to the country of manufacture of the machine. It is best to buy instruments made in the same country. Some car factories have started producing tool kits for the cars they make. They have a minimum kit that will come in handy for emergency car repairs. It is worth noting that all the toolboxes sold are different from each other. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to the assortment. Your best bet is to buy a plastic case and buy all the necessary tools yourself. It is much more convenient and economical, because you only have to pay for what you really need. And ready-made kits almost always have those tools that you will never have to use.
