Mechanics Tools

Automotive mechanics use a variety of tools to diagnose and repair vehicles. These tools range from simple hand tools to complex electronic diagnostic equipment.

Hand Tools

The most basic tools in a mechanic's toolbox are hand tools. These tools include wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, and pry bars. Hand tools are used for a variety of tasks, such as tightening and loosening bolts, removing and installing parts, and prying apart stuck components.

Power Tools

Power tools are used for tasks that are too difficult or time-consuming to do with hand tools alone. Power tools include drills, impact wrenches, grinders, and saws. Power tools can be powered by electricity, gasoline, or compressed air.

Diagnostic Equipment

Diagnostic equipment is used to identify problems with vehicles. This equipment includes scanners, code readers, and oscilloscopes. Diagnostic equipment helps mechanics pinpoint the source of a problem so that they can repair it quickly and efficiently.
