For vehicle maintenance and the most common repairs, it is enough to have a set of universal tools, the basis of which should be a standard set of socket wrenches with interchangeable heads. It is desirable that it be as complete as possible. Missing tools can be purchased separately (see below).
Special tools (specialized wrenches, pullers, measuring tools and other devices) are required for only some repairs, and therefore are used infrequently. You can purchase them as needed. At the same time, it is desirable to have a hydrometer, multimeter, caliper (the last two can be useful not only when repairing a car, but also in everyday life). It should be borne in mind that a number of operations are difficult, and sometimes impossible, to perform without special tools.
Some types of work are performed using personal protective equipment (more on «Safety measures for car maintenance and repair»). Therefore, along with a set of tools, prepare gloves or mittens, goggles or a mask (transparent face shield).
