The visual component of any repair, especially when dealing with a permanently calloused area, is no less important than the functional one. But how do you tighten a self-tapping screw without licking the edges off its head, or wrap a bolt with a washer without scratching it? It turns out that there is a special tool for such tasks. And what, says the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
The new car is so much fun and admiring for exactly one reason: everything looks perfect, every detail. Every element and even every bolt or other fastener. As soon as the first scratch appears, the charm melts and the car is used automatically. How do you keep the vehicle, which has risen in price so much in recent months, in good condition for a long time? The correct answer is to handle it carefully and correctly. Also during renovations.
Everything is clear with the suspension and elements of the engine compartment – the main thing here is reliability, and it does not stand out. So we twist the old fashioned way, relying not on beauty, but on functionality. There are no questions about the body either: a scratch can be polished, a chip can be painted over, a dent can be pulled out, serious damage can be entrusted to the painter, period. But with the salon there are many questions.
The interior of the car is rich in a large number of plastic elements that tend to scratch, fabrics and carpets that get dirty extremely quickly, as well as all kinds of fasteners, not always covered with a decorative overlay. The same new Land Rover Defender or Jeep Wrangler shines with an incredible number of bolts that must not only be removed, but put back again without damaging it. So how do you do?
Let’s face it, every garage master and even a serviceman from an official dealer center are far from factory agility. No matter how hard you try, no matter how you take care of it, you can scratch it with a screwdriver. And if you’re in a hurry with a screwdriver, you also lick the edges. And it looks extremely bad, as if it would “scratch” the eye. However, the crafty Chinese, who seem to have all the answers, came up with an ingenious solution: plastic key bits. They cannot scratch the metal and break the edges, because plastic is many times softer than any coating, and with extra effort it simply breaks.
The kit does not cost much, but you have to work with it very carefully, because plastic bits, called a shovel a shovel, are a one-time tool. Twisted – broken. However, in our latitudes there is nothing more reusable and reliable than something of the single use nature. Therefore, plastic bits can be used repeatedly if you “fill your hand” and get to work with the right amount of patience and accuracy. But the result is that all the bolts are like new from the factory. No one outbid will find a mistake, no matter how much experience he has.
