Universal tool (VAZ-2104)

1. A set of socket wrenches with replaceable heads. The kit must include a set of replacement heads of the following dimensions: from 10 to 32 mm, for a 1/2" (0.5 inch) connecting square. It is desirable that this set contains the entire range of working profiles of metric size. It is also desirable that there is a second set of heads of size from 6 to 14 mm for a smaller mounting size (1/4") and an additional set of deep heads by 8, 10, 12 and 13 mm, designed for unscrewing nuts from long hairpins. It is very convenient to work if the set includes collars with a ratchet mechanism (ratchets). They allow you to quickly unscrew and wrap fasteners.

Warning! To avoid damaging the ratchet mechanism, do not use ratchets to loosen or tighten heavy-duty fasteners.

Since the car uses TORX bolts, as well as Allen bolts, the kit should include sets of corresponding heads and bits, as well as bits with a working profile for Phillips and slotted screwdrivers.

2. A wicket with a hinge and a long handle. It is necessary for unscrewing large diameter threaded connections when significant effort must be applied.

3. Set of combination wrenches (open-end and box-end wrenches) dimension from 6 to 32 mm. It is desirable to have a full range of metric size keys available (through 1 mm).

Warning! Open-end wrenches are not intended to apply significant force to fasteners, as this will crush the edges of bolts and nuts. Tighten or loosen with such wrenches only when it is impossible to do so with socket or ring wrenches.

4. Set of open-end wrenches. It is useful to supplement the set of combination wrenches with open-end curved wrenches of the most common sizes: on 10, 12, 13, 17, 19, 22 and 24 mm.

5. Torque wrench. Designed for final tightening of threaded connections with a specified force (torque).

6. Set of Phillips and slotted screwdrivers, varying in size and length. It is very convenient if, when performing repairs, there is a large selection of screwdrivers with blades of different lengths and widths available.

7. Hammers. It is advisable to have several hammers with a steel striker weighing 250, 500, 1000 g, and also with a plastic or rubber striker.
