Tools & Workshop FAQs

What tools do I need for basic car maintenance?

A metric socket set, combination spanners, screwdrivers, pliers and a torque wrench cover most jobs. Add a jack, axle stands and a torch for work under the car.

Do 'skin only' power tools include a battery?

No. Skin-only tools come without a battery or charger – they suit people who already own batteries for that platform.
