The 10 Tools Everyone Should Own

How-To: Build Your First Tool KitAsk 10 mechanics what their favorite tool is, and you’ll elicit 10 different responses. That’s what we discovered when we visited multiple service shops to bring you some real-world insight. One thing we discovered on our toolbox expedition was no two collections are the same—they are all very personal, and each of them is constantly evolving. For example, we found traveling mechanics like to keep their tools in multiple boxes instead of having a large and heavy stationary one. Since a technician’s tools are so intimate, many mechanics hesitated to speak with us because they don’t like giving up their trade secrets. While on the other hand, some technicians’ eyes lit up, and they couldn’t wait to spill their guts. Here’s Diesel Power’s 10 must-have tools. To submit your top 10 favorite tools, send us an email at Jason.Thompson@sorc.com.
