Engine Tools

Engine tools include equipment and accessories for the proper diagnosis, repair and general maintenance of your car engine. They also include specialty repair and maintenance hand tools, such as wrenches, hammers and scan machines for engine diagnosis. Consider the ease of use, durability, compatibility and the tool’s proper application before purchase.

Find an Oil Pressure Tester for Domestic and Import Applications

An oil pressure tester has a long hose to ensure entry through deep or complicated oil ports. The long tube also helps position the gauge conveniently so you can easily read the pressure. The kits come with a wide range of brass and steel NPT adapters you can use with various vehicle models. Oil pressure gauges can read from 0 to 400psi, depending on the oil quality and engine condition. Use a hood light to illuminate the engine compartment when operating. Other essential fuel system tools include pressure regulators and fuel filters for removing dirt and dust from internal combustion engines.

Get to Hard-to-Reach Bolts With a Proper Socket Set

Find a reliable socket set with a wide array of extensions varying from 2 to 24in. so you can access bolts easily in confined and awkward spaces. An extension and flex joint combination lets you remove and install bolts in engine areas and under dashboards. Assembling the socket set with certain joints and drives is critical for practical use with brake tools, such as torque wrenches and flare tools.

Use the Drain Plug Remover Tool for Quick and Safe Removal

A magnetic drain plug remover securely holds loose drain plugs in the oil pan to prevent dropping and hot oil burns. The shaft is sufficiently flexible so you can thread and unthread the plug in any direction with safety. Some tools have a detachable magnetic end with a quarter-inch square drive so you can use it effectively as a flexible shaft bit driver. The remover tool has an ergonomic design that delivers safety, and can withstand the pressure of daily repetitive use.

Use the Long Reach Tool to Access the Hard-to-Reach Engine Parts

The long reach tool has a pre-bent shape at a certain point that fits most engine designs without any further adjustments. The tool’s Store-n-Go handles can hold extra tips for future use. Choose a long reach tool with a scratch-proof coating to protect your vehicle’s finishing during lockout operations.

Get Testers to Check for Mechanical Constraints

The engine compression tester checks and notifies you of any mechanical issues in the engine. Some compression gauges come with a universal spark plug adapter that functions on electric vehicles and other motor engines. The spark plug adapter links to a long rubber hose, and it has coned ends for quick and easy connecting to engine systems. Compression testers work along with oil pressure testers and other engine and drive train tools for safe and secure engine repair and maintenance. Whenever you are ready to conduct an engine leak down test, scroll through the available tester hoses.
