All types of spanners, for easy tightening and loosening

Within the auto tools that are essential for a mechanic, first of all there are the keys. In addition to the different sizes possible, there are many different shapes, each with its own specific features:

• Flat spanners, or open-end spanners, suitable for screws and bolts with square or hexagonal heads, for dimensions ranging from approximately 6 to 20 mm.
• Allen keys, or hexagonal keys, convenient for use on all elements with a hollow hexagonal cavity, of all sizes.
• Impact spanners, also known as unbolt spanners, which are used to easily tighten or loosen bolts.
• Ratchet spanners, or socket spanners, whose handle allows them to continue to tighten without having to remove the tool or turn the nut.
• Torque spanners, to precisely measure the tightening of different elements (screws, nuts, etc.).
• Combination spanners, which have two different ends, usually one as a flat spanner and the other as an eye spanner (allowing the nut to be completely surrounded)
• Spanners, to avoid damaging the fittings during handling.
• …

Clamps adapted to each gesture of the car mechanic

Then, in the tool section, you'll find the pliers, which are essential for professional car repair. Once again, these can be divided into several types:

• The long nose pliers, practical for working on small workpieces
• Cutting pliers, which are mainly used to cut small parts such as wires or cables.
• Stripping pliers, which are available in an automatic version, for simplified use on electrical cables
• Soldering pliers, helping to hold cables during soldering work
• Long reach pliers, to reach hard-to-reach places
• Specific pliers for specific parts: for Durit self-clamping collars, brake hose benders, thread restorers, etc.
• …

Measuring and precision instruments for checking automotive parts

Furthermore, before working on a vehicle, a mechanic must first establish his diagnosis. To do so, he must have equipment in his garage to help him in his observations, such as a bonnet light. An inspection camera, equipped with a probe, will then be most useful to take a look at every nook and cranny under the bonnet and record the images obtained.

But a mechanic may also need to measure electrical currents and resistances and test diodes. For this, a digital multimeter will be his best ally, especially as the tool can carry a temperature sensor, in order to multiply the tests. In the same vein, a digital controller will prove essential for monitoring tyre wear, an operation that must be carried out regularly, especially on a racing car.

Finally, to make sure that precise gestures are carried out, why not hire the services of state-of-the-art equipment? With the help of accessories such as a calliper, an angled clamping gauge or a measuring jug, everything becomes easier!
