Any, even the most modern machine in the process of daily operation needs periodic maintenance and minor repairs. Properly selected tool kits will allow you not to contact the service station for every little thing. Independently carry out minor and emergency repairs in the city and outside settlements.
Required toolbox
There are basic recommendations that are needed in the trunk of almost any vehicle. It is not necessary to have everything you need in the car to disassemble the engine or replace the brake pads. But, basic hand tools will help you not be in a hopeless situation for any small reason. Experienced motorists recommend choosing a kit that contains the following tools:
- Socket, spanner or open-end wrenches (set).
- A medium-sized hammer for 400-500 grams.
- All-purpose pliers for basic problems.
- Screwdrivers with a working flat and cross-shaped working surface.
- Ratchet handle with interchangeable socket heads.
The last option in the set is especially useful, since end car tools are not able to damage the bolt head or nut. Treat fasteners with the utmost care when unscrewing or tightening by force.
The advantage of a quality kit
A tool made of a low-quality alloy will last until the first serious load. In addition, the brittle alloy can cause serious injury to hands, fingers, and hands. Quality tools are not cheap. But by investing in a set, the motorist receives the following advantages during its operation:
- the tool will not damage the fastener;
- high precision of execution of each individual part;
- withstands rough handling and careless storage;
- virtually maintenance-free;
- Many years later, as reliable as the day I bought it.
Key sets that are properly matched to the car will not always be used by the driver. But, as soon as the need arises for minor or more serious repairs, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and other accessories will allow you to carry it out quickly and with a positive result.
