Always at hand: a set of necessary tools for a motorist Probably, every motorist dreams from time to time of a repair robot that will periodically help to service their favorite car. But until such devices are invented (and even if they appear, they will not be cheap for the domestic buyer), they can be replaced with a special set. Tool stores offer a choice of cases of various configurations. Sockets, screwdrivers, open-end wrenches and much more, compactly packed in a plastic suitcase, will not allow a sudden breakdown to catch you by surprise. How to choose a suitable case In addition to the brand, price and availability of a warranty, pay attention to the material of the nozzle and the presence of a protective coating. Without the latter, the working parts of the heads and bits will corrode and lose their strength. The optimal choice is titanium coating. Nickel (as well as an alloy of nickel and tungsten) is also good. The attachment itself will be durable if it is made of a molybdenum-tungsten or molybdenum-chrome alloy. Chrome-vanadium steel is also very wear-resistant. When choosing, also pay attention to the dimensions and impact resistance of the case - depending on where it is supposed to be stored (trunk, garage or workshop). A wide variety of attachments will help you easily solve repair tasks, as well as cope with numerous household situations. A leaking faucet, a broken cabinet or sofa, a loose hinge on plumbing - all this can often be easily repaired, having the right attachment. A set of socket heads and bits will also come in handy in construction and major repairs. Joinery and locksmith tools in your trunk and garage It is also worth mentioning individual tools that can be useful in the garage and on the road. To put together a set of necessary accessories for car care, you need to anticipate all the situations that may occur in the car. Let's list those that are worth having in the trunk, as well as stationary devices. A compressor has a wide range of functionality. With its help, you can work with a whole range of pneumatic tools. In the garage, it will be useful for blowing out clogged places, painting with a spray gun, and inflating tires. Of course, any car enthusiast should always carry a jack in the trunk - without it, changing a wheel is impossible. Let's move on to small tools. Pliers and side cutters are necessary for working with electrical wiring and fasteners - they will allow you to strip insulation and cut wires of different thicknesses. Small parts are conveniently handled with pliers, and cylindrical parts with adjustable pliers. Riveters or pliers are needed to connect parts whose thickness does not exceed 13 mm. A set of good screwdrivers (or interchangeable bits) will come in handy when removing and installing parts that are fastened with screws. A Phillips and slotted screwdriver or a nozzle are most often needed in the car interior. Sockets are used to unscrew small nuts (for example, on terminals). There are almost no wrenches - there will be nuts of different sizes on the parts and assemblies of your car. The set should include socket and open-end wrenches, and there are also sets of combination wrenches. You will need a balloon wrench for wheels. Beauty and order Devices for cosmetic body repair deserve special attention. We should also mention organizers, because they help organize tools and parts that are very important to find at the right time. Keeping the car in order makes it easier to maintain cleanliness in it. A rubber mallet is used to straighten damaged parts of the car. It allows you to do the work much more accurately than a hammer. By using it to fix dents, you will be able to control your movements more easily and avoid causing additional damage to your car. A Kyivan will also come in handy for home and garden repair work - for example, when laying tiles and roofing. Automotive masking tape on a paper basis with a rubber adhesive layer should be in every garage. The tape is glued to the joint between glass and metal to prevent painting where it is not needed. It is also used for painting and plastering. This tape is used to seal windows during room insulation. Automotive wiring tape is used to secure and wind up parts to get rid of squeaks. It is used to wrap door rods and bundle wires. Automotive organizers can have a different number of sections. But they all have one goal - to solve the problem of free space in the cabin. The organizer will solve the problem of lost little things and organize the necessary tools, making it easier to find them.
