Hand tools

Tools expand our ability to work on vehicles. Hand tools are most often used during vehicle repairs. This type of tool is most common in car workshops. Service technicians need a wide selection of hand tools. Over time, vehicle manufacturers are introducing new couplings, fasteners, and new technology, which means that service technicians must constantly expand the range with new hand tools.

Each hand tool has its purpose and procedure of use. Use according to the instructions for use in compliance with safety measures. Otherwise, improper use of tools risks damaging the serviced part of the vehicle and the tools. Also, improper use of tools can hurt yourself and others.
