Tools and fixtures

For vehicle maintenance and the most common repairs, it is enough to have a set of universal tools, the basis of which should be a standard set of socket wrenches with interchangeable heads. It is desirable that it be as complete as possible. Missing tools can be purchased separately (see below).

Special tools (specialized wrenches, pullers, measuring tools and other devices) are required for only some repairs, and therefore are used infrequently. You can purchase them as needed. At the same time, it is desirable to have a hydrometer, multimeter, caliper (the last two can be useful not only when repairing a car, but also in everyday life). It should be borne in mind that it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to perform a number of operations without a special tool.

Some types of work are performed using personal protective equipment. Therefore, along with a set of tools, prepare gloves or mittens, goggles or a mask (transparent face shield).
