Automotive Tools

There are numerous types of automotive tools that are reliably used in automobile industry. These automotive tools works best for fixing different problems related to automobiles like motor bikes, cars, scooters, trucks and many more. To repair or assemble automotive parts the mechanics require several types of automotive tools such as spanners(for turning nuts and bolts), screws driving tools, cutting tools etc.

One can observe that numerous types of automotive tools that have been used in the automobile industry at a large scale. Enumerated below are some of few automotive tools :-

• Hex (Hexagonal) Tips


• Obstruction Spanner


• Adjustable Spanners


• 'C' spanner


• Tap Spanners


• Square Tipped and so on


• Offset Ring Spanners


• Bulldog Spanners


• Ring Spanners


• Cabinet Tips


• Box Spanner


• Regular Tips


• Phillips Head


• Frearson Screw Heads


• Torx Drive System


• Split Ring Spanners


• Clutch Head Tips

Taking the example of different automotive tools, we can talk about ring spanner. The head(jaw) of a ring spanner is circular in shape that consists of 6 or twelve tabs to fit tightly around the nut. With a complete enclosed head, ring spanner specifically suits well for turning nuts or bolts where adequate space is not available. For both hexagon and square bolts ring spanner is best for acting upon the corner of the nuts. The tabs of a ring spanner fits well around all corners of bolts which helps us to apply uniform force around its circumference.

Similarly we can also take the example of hex-nut drivers which are similar to screw drivers. These automotive tools i.e. hex nut drivers have tips more like wrench socket than crew tips. Electronic equipment, instruments and car ignitions use these hex-nut drivers at large. These hex nut drivers comes with several sizes with a fixed size or variable size socket at the end to adjust to various nut sizes.

The conventional screw drivers require re-gripping for each turn given to the screw. To get rid of this botheration the ratchet screw drivers are used. These automotive tools i.e. screw drivers have a 360 degree ball that requires pressure to be applied straight downwards. These screw drivers are provided with replaceable blades. These screw drivers have wider surface that helps us to easily apply a huge amount of torque.
