Description
By: Eric Godfrey, John H Haynes .
A Selection of good tools is a basic requirement for anyone who plans to maintain and repair his or her own vehicle. For the home mechanic who has few tools, the initial investment might seem high, but, when compared to the spiraling costs of professional auto maintenance and repair, it is a wise one.
To help the home mechanic decide which tools are needed to perform repairs and maintenance on today's automobiles, the following tool lists are offered to aid the reader in acquiring a well rounded set of tools, tailored to his or hers personal needs: General purpose tool set, Master mechanic tool set, and Major repair and overhaul tool set.
The newcomer to practical mechanics should start off with a general purpose tool set, which is adequate for the simpler tasks performed on a vehicle. Then as confidence and experience grow, the home mechanic can tackle more difficult jobs, buying additional tools as they become necessary. Eventually the general purpose set will be expanded into the master set. Over a period of time, the experienced do-it-yourselfer will assemble a tool set complete enough for most repair procedures and will add tools from the major repair and overhaul category when it is felt that the expense is justified by the need.
