Hand tools are the key to success no matter what job you do. When talking about mechanics though, you need the best mechanics tools that you can get your hands on and some are so necessary that no mechanic should work without them.
We have put together a list of the 5 must-have mechanic tools that will save you time, frustration and even pain in some cases. Not only is having these tools necessary but they can also be key to your success. You want tools that are going to stick with you for a lifetime and get the job done without worrying about if they will stand up to the task. Here is the list of tools a mechanic needs to put them on the path to success:
1) Professional Screwdriver Set
A professional screwdriver set is a tool that should be built to last you a lifetime and is guaranteed to do so. Sure it is easy to go to your nearest hardware store and pick up a set of screwdrivers, but do your research on what you are getting before being blinded by an attractive price and nice packaging.
Our professional torx screwdriver set is a magnetic screwdriver set that includes Torx heads in sizes ranging from T6 to T45 to make your job easier. Their grip makes it soft and very comfortable forming to your hand to allow you to work quicker than ever while minimizing hand fatigue when you are working. The set is made out of Chrome Vanadium which is unbreakable and backed by a limited lifetime warranty should you ever experience any manufacturer related issues with any of the screwdrivers.
2) Ratchet Wrench Set
A standard mechanic tool is a high-quality ratchet wrench set. This set is meant to save you time and let you get in hard to reach places that regular open-end wrenches wouldn't allow you to get to. (Picture reaching into an engine cavity with an open-end wrench and having to crank and remove the wrench 20 times, now, imagine setting the ratchet end on the bolt and making the same adjustments without having to remove the wrench from the bolt.)
The Olsa Tools 120-tooth ratcheting wrench set has our brand new patented box end that can loosen & tighten bolts that are up to 80% rounded. Plus, it only needs a 3 degree swing arc that lets you work in tight spaces. Made out of unbreakable Chrome Vanadium steel (Cr-V) our 12pc metric & SAE sets are backed by the Olsa Tools 100% satisfaction guarantee & limited lifetime warranty, making this set one of the best mechanic tools that you should get for success in your field.
3) Digital Caliper Measuring Tool
A digital caliper is a must-have tool for anyone who needs precise, quick measurements. Unlike a traditional ruler or tape measure, a digital caliper gives you the ability to measure the inside, outside, and depth of objects with incredible accuracy. (Imagine trying to measure the inside diameter of a pipe or the depth of a hole with a ruler—it’s nearly impossible. With a digital caliper, you simply slide the jaws into position, and you instantly get an exact reading on the screen.)
Our digital caliper takes this accuracy a step further. With a resolution of 0.0005 inches, it gives you the precise measurements you need for detailed work. The large LCD screen makes it easy to switch between metric and imperial units, and the depth gauge attachment allows for even more versatility. Made from durable stainless steel and backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee and limited lifetime warranty, this digital caliper is built to last—making it an essential tool for mechanics, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts alike.
4) Tool Organizers
Staying organized is crucial to your success in the garage as a mechanic. Being able to quickly find the right socket, wrench or plier will save you valuable time and prevent frustration, plus you'll have a sick looking toolbox. No more wasting five minutes in your toolbox looking for those damn 10mm sockets; Instead, you open your socket drawer and find a 10mm socket set clearly in the right position.
At Olsa Tools we have socket organizers, magnetic socket holders, wrench organizers and more! All of our tool organizers are backed by our limited lifetime warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee.
5) Torque Tools
Being able to correctly torque a bolt to an accurate spec can be crucial. Having torque tools that are ASME™ Certified accurate and calibrated gives you peace of mind. Our torque wrenches are more accurate than large tool truck brands and cost a fraction due to our no middleman business model. Our click torque wrench gives you up to 150 ft-lb of torque range in both directions with a ±3% accuracy, while the split beam torque wrench is 50-250 ft-lb of torque range with a ±4% accuracy.
