What Are the Commonly Used Automotive Dismantling Tools?
1 Answers
Commonly used automotive dismantling tools include: various wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, jacks, vehicle lifts, cranes, piston ring pliers, and valve spring compressors. The selection principles for various wrenches are as follows: generally, socket wrenches are preferred first, followed by box-end wrenches, then open-end wrenches, and finally adjustable wrenches. Ordinary wrenches are designed based on human hand strength. When encountering tight threaded parts, do not strike the wrench with a hammer. Except for socket wrenches, other wrenches should not be fitted with extension bars to prevent damage to the wrench or threaded connections. When using a hammer, always carefully check if the hammer head and handle are securely wedged. Hold the hammer at the rear of the handle. There are three methods of swinging a hammer: wrist swing, forearm swing, and full-arm swing. The wrist swing involves only the wrist movement, providing less striking force but is precise, fast, and energy-saving. The full-arm swing involves both the upper and lower arms, delivering the maximum striking force.
