Adjustable Wrench
Resembles the open-end wrench greatly except that one side of the jaw can be adjusted by turning a screw. This makes the adjustable wrench able to handle different sizes of nuts and bolts.
Due to this feature, the adjustable wrench is a crucial part of a toolbox kit that you can carry around in your vehicle at all times
Screwdriver
While there are many common screw types out there, the most common we have in-car models available here in the Philippines are Philips screw heads which feature a “cross” pattern, and the similar Frearson, and the slot drive or “flat-head.”
There are also many types of screwdrivers out there but the most common and the cheapest is the hand-powered screwdriver
Allen Key/Allen Wrench
This key is used to turn bolt heads with a recessed hexagonal pattern.
Usually, the Allen key comes in an L-shaped handle or a T-handle which features a plastic or metal grip.
4-way lug wrench or tire spanner
A socket type wrench used to turn the lug nuts on a car’s wheel.
Impact Wrench
This tool is a powerful tool that uses quick successions of torque to loosen up a bolt or nut. While electric powered ones are common, there are examples that use compressed air.
Impact wrenches are particularly useful for removing that stubborn nut or bolt. Take note though that these can also over-torque a nut or bolt and will damage its threads.
