Tools & Workshop

Hand tools and specialty tools

For general work, hand tools such as socket sets are chosen by drive size, socket style and whether sizes are metric or imperial. Specialty tools are far narrower: engine and timing tools, for example, are designed for particular engine families. Read the listing to see which applications it names, and note whether the tool is a single item or part of a kit.

Air tools and diagnostics

Air tools depend on a compressed air supply, so check the fitting type and any air requirements shown on the listing, along with chuck or drive size. Diagnostic and test equipment, including pressure testers, usually comes with adaptors for specific systems. Confirm the adaptors and connection types listed match what you plan to test.

Lifting, storage and consumables

For jacks and lifting gear, check the manufacturer-stated capacity and instructions, and compare the capacity with the load you intend to handle. Tool storage varies by size and layout. Drill bits and abrasives are grouped under abrasives and consumables, where sizes and set contents are the key details, while cleaning supplies sit in workshop cleaning.
