the operator directly.
Manual Tools
Wrenchs: are used to tighten elements screwed by screws or nuts
with hexagonal heads mainly.
Manual Tools
Ratchet Box: This box contains some
metallic pieces of steel in cylindrical form,
that at one end has a slit in the form of a
square prism in which enters another
piece that is with which a lever is made to
turn it; at the other end has a slit which
may be of hexagonal prism shape.
And the other part is the ratchet it may
blocks one sense of movement, being able
to turn and return without removing it
from the screw or nut to loosen or tighten
it.
Manual tools
Torque Wrench: is used to adjust the tightening torque of threaded
elements. It is often used in auto shops.
 Screwdriver: is a tool that is used to tighten and loosen screws and
other elements of machines that require little tightening force and
that are generally of small diameter, the head of these tools can be in
star or flat.
 Manual Tools

Hydraulic Jack: is a machine used for lifting heavy loads by manually

operating a crank or a lever, taking advantage of the effect of even
distribution of pressure through a fluid between two pistons of

Scanner: Is a equip that can read the ECU identification and codes
that display error in the automotive system. Copy the same codes.
Permit to perform a self-diagnosis on the overall shape of the car.
Equipment
Multimeter: is a portable electrical instrument for directly measuring
active electrical quantities, such as currents and potentials (voltages),
or passive, such as resistors, capacities and others.
Rules of using the tools and equipment
Use safety equipments before to use any tool or machine.
Read the manual of the equipment and machine.
Dont effort the tools or use them for bad intentions.
With the power tools, inspect the conections and the state of the
