In this category you will find special tools that don't fit a standard type. Think of socket sets for specific jobs, such as E-profiles for cylinder heads, and foot pumps. When choosing, check the drive size in inches or millimetres. Larger sizes like 1/2 inch give more power. The length determines reach in tight spots. For pumps, check the maximum pressure and the fitting size.
Special tools for the workshop
Which size or type do you need?
Other workshop articles fall outside the standard categories. Think of special sockets, such as E-profiles for cylinder heads, and foot pumps. For sockets, check the drive size in inch or millimetre. Larger sizes such as 1/2 inch give more force. The length determines the reach in tight spots.
What goes wrong when ordering?
For foot pumps, check the maximum pressure range and the connection size. A pump with too low pressure fails when inflating large tyres. Also check that the hose and tyre valve fit your type of tyre. This prevents you from buying an article that does not match your workshop.
Which standard matters?
For sockets, the sizing follows common standards. These determine whether the socket fits your ratchet. Always choose the right size for the bolt or nut. A wrong size damages the thread and the tool.
These other articles belong with consumables, just like hose clamps and hose connectors for connecting hoses. For securing cables and lines, look at cable ties, and for sealing connections at sealing rings & O-rings.
