Set of tools for adjustment and repair
This tool is essential for more serious car repairs and is an addition to the list of tools for minor repairs. This list includes a comprehensive set of open-end wrenches. Although these are expensive, they will be invaluable for their versatility - especially the Allen key set. The set is from Vizth, known for its strength. It can be used with most branded torque wrenches. If the set of open-end wrenches is very expensive, inexpensive tubular open-end wrenches can be used instead.

Special tool
The tool from this list is rarely used and only with the manufacturer's instructions. Buying it is often not justified.
The following list includes tools manufactured specifically for dealers.

If an alternative tool is not available, the work must be carried out by an authorized workshop.

Use and maintenance of the tool
After use and before putting the tool away, it is necessary to clean it with a dry cloth from dirt, grease and metal particles. Each tool should have its place. Regular and open-end wrenches should be stored in a metal box. Measuring tools should be stored in a safe place where they will not be damaged and subject to corrosion. It is necessary to protect the tool during work. If hammers become scratched and screwdrivers become dull, they can be easily restored to a usable condition using an abrasive material or a file.
Devices that make work easier
This Manual pays much attention to the description of tools, as they are necessary for repairs. Also, we must not forget about the workshops themselves. The most important and labor-intensive work should be carried out in them. For various reasons, many car owners are forced to remove the engine or other units from the car themselves, the repair of which should always be carried out under a roof. Dismantling should be carried out on a clean, flat table in workshops of the appropriate height.
Every workshop table should have a vice. A vice with a jaw distance of 100 mm is suitable for most operations. Once again, we remind you that tools, lubricants, cleaning fluids and varnishes should be stored in a dry and clean place.
An electric drill press with a 10 mm holder will also come in handy. A drill press with a rich set is necessary for fixing accessories such as mirrors or reversing lights, radio, etc.
During work related to disassembling and assembling such units as an engine or gearbox, it is better to use a special stand with replaceable holders for fastening and rotating the engine or gearbox. The work area must always be kept clean.
