HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT-HAND TOOLS FOR YOUR WORKSHOP
The selection of hand tools should be done based on your workshop’s needs. Every
workshop has different requirements, whether you’re working on small repairs or tackling heavy-duty industrial tasks.
Every workshop is unique. To choose the right tools, start by identifying the type of work you do regularly:
Automotive Workshops
Automotive repair demands precision and versatility. Your toolkit should include:
- Spanners & Socket Sets – For tightening and loosening fasteners.
- Screwdrivers & Pliers – Used for basic repairs and component adjustments.
- Chisels, Hammers – To remove stuck parts and for fine adjustments.
- Specialized Tools – Torque wrenches, oil filter removers, and brake bleeders.
General Maintenance Workshops
For routine maintenance, general-purpose tools are key. Ensure you have:
- Adjustable Wrenches – Versatile for various tasks.
- Combination Pliers – Essential for gripping, twisting, and cutting.
- Utility Knives & Cutters – For general cutting tasks.
- Standard Screwdrivers & Hammers – Foundational tools for everyday repairs.

- Insulated Tools – Essential for working safely with electricity.
