| Pipe flaring & cutting |
Pipe flaring tools can create single or double flares. A pipe flaring tool has two parts, a set of bars with holes that match the diameter of the pipe end to be shaped, and a yoke that drives a cone into the mouth of the tube. A pipe cutter creates a neater cut than sawing pipes and metal tubing. |
| Marking tools |
Marking tools include a scriber, dividers, marking-dye & engineers blue. To mark sharp, clean lines on metal you require a sharp, clean point. |
| Gauges | A gauge measures the difference between any two points and can be divided according to how accurately they do it. |
| Taps & dies |
Threads are cut on screws, bolts, nuts, studs and inside holes to allow components to be attached and assembled. Taps cut threads inside holes or nuts. |
| Fasteners |
There are many different fasteners used in automotive applications, including screws, bolts, studs & nuts. Washers & chemical compounds can be used to help secure these fasteners. |
| Pullers | The most common pullers have 2 or 3 legs which grip the part to be removed. A pulling action then extracts the part. |
