Cars are getting older and their repair services are getting more expensive. What will it eventually lead to? And besides, every car owner himself will do more maintenance and maintenance on the car. And for that you need an intelligent and handy tool. What should be in the kit of every driver, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
The Russians return to a time when many household chores, including car repairs, fell on the shoulders of the owner himself. Whether this is good or bad is a debatable question, but the fact remains: to fix something you need not only the place and time, but also a very specific tool that not everyone had yesterday. Today it is a necessity.
Walking through the shelves or looking at advertisements on the Internet, you can break your eyes: there are many offers. How do you choose the best, most functional and at the same time compact set of tools? Do I have to buy huge boxes of inventory, most of which will never be used? Is it worth paying extra for “professional”, “for gas station” or “made in Japan” style labels?
As practice shows, no. It is not the quantity that matters, but the quality, and it is worth giving preference to universal tools.
In recent years, the tool industry has taken a step forward by offering “homemade” enough inventory to make this or that operation not only better, but also easier. Everything is simplified: from the forces required for operation to the ease of selection and “climbing”, because other fasteners have yet to be achieved. Take, for example, a universal wrench that can replace an entire set. Simply put, it is a handle with two diamonds of different sizes at the ends, which allows you to grip two types of nuts and screws: from 5 to 9 mm on one side and from 9 to 16 mm on the other. Just what you need for minor repairs.
An important property of such a tool is that it solves the problem of conventional keys. After all, as it happens with them: after one turn, you need to remove the key and put it back on the nut, and this is far from always possible. With a universal tool, you just need to move it slightly away from the holder, turn it a little and start the unscrewing / packing process again, which significantly reduces working time in an often uncomfortable position.
And there are many such examples, you just need to know what to look for and stop paying attention to marketing tricks. Even if a cheap tool does not last as long as a professional tool, it is much easier to replace it than to find out later who took it or borrow it, and also to remember where it was put.
