There is a say that a workman is only as good as his tools and this is definitely true when it comes to the automobile engineering.

• Ratchet and Sockets: They are usually available in three different sizes of ratchet such as small, medium and large. There are the sets with all three. Some sets come with the ratchets and wrenches and we should try and get at least a big and a small ratchet set with the basic sockets as those are the ones which we can use most.
• Screwdrivers: An efficient set of the screwdrivers is one of the basics of any well assorted toolbox. Most of the ratchets sets include a few different screwdrivers heads along with the most common shapes as well as sizes.

• Hammer: There are many things which get stuck with the dirt, grease and rust so sometimes we need a good whack with a hammer so that it could take for that rotor or that ball joint to come off. If we are working on the brakes or suspension, things are really get hard and we need these equipments which will be made of nice rubber to ensure the good grip.
• Multimeter: This is the essential tool for the purpose of electrical diagnosis as well as trouble shooting. Through this, we can measure voltage and resistance but we should make sure that we buy one multi-meter that can read amps.
