Power Tools & Accessories
Power tools and accessories for vehicles and garage workshops are designed to enhance efficiency and precision in automotive maintenance and repair tasks. These tools are typically powered by electricity or batteries, offering high performance and versatility. Key power tools include impact wrenches, drills, grinders, and polishers, each constructed from durable materials such as high-grade steel and reinforced plastics to withstand the rigours of heavy-duty use.
Impact wrenches are essential for quickly and effectively loosening and tightening bolts and nuts. They use a powerful motor to deliver high torque through a hammering mechanism, making them ideal for tasks such as wheel changes and suspension work. Advanced models feature adjustable torque settings and brushless motors, which provide longer life and more efficient power delivery.
Drills and drivers are versatile tools used for drilling holes and driving screws. They come in various types, including corded and cordless models, with features such as variable speed control, adjustable clutch settings, and ergonomic designs for comfortable use. Cordless drills, powered by lithium-ion batteries, offer the advantage of portability and convenience, essential for tasks in confined or hard-to-reach areas.
Grinders and polishers are used for cutting, grinding, and finishing surfaces. Angle grinders are equipped with powerful motors and various disc attachments to handle tasks ranging from cutting metal to removing rust. Polishers, on the other hand, use lower speeds and specialised pads to achieve a high-quality finish on painted surfaces. Both tools often feature adjustable speed controls and safety features such as spindle locks and overload protection. Accessories for these power tools include a range of bits, blades, and attachments, enabling them to perform a wide variety of tasks efficiently and safely in the automotive workshop.
