When it comes to vehicle maintenance and repair, technicians must have the knowledge to do the work, along with the appropriate tools, tool storage solutions and shop equipment. This enables technicians to work quickly, efficiently and safely. The result: greater technician and shop productivity.
Manufacturers design tools and shop equipment for specific applications, and they should be used only for those intended purposes. Meanwhile, vehicles are becoming increasingly complex and manufacturers are developing parts that require application-specific tools for removal or replacement.
When a technician doesn't have the necessary tools and/or equipment, and the wrong one is used instead, vehicle maintenance and repair can be frustrating, as well as inefficient. The result: lost output from slower work and more errors.
