A set of tools which company it is best to opt for a home - practical tips

The choice of a set of tools is more related to the category of rhetorical.The fact that all commercially available tool sets differ in their arrangement.Therefore, to start we need to clarify a number of points.

First , kit sold for what purposes?

Second , the tool will be used with what intensity?

Third , the maximum amount to be spent on such a useful acquisition?

If you see all the reviews on the internet on the select tool, then come to any definite opinion is quite difficult.The fact that people like, is sometimes skeptical statements in the address of the manufacturer of the other.However, for those who are primarily interested in the ratings of manufacturers sets of tools (although these calculations fairly conventional), you can cite as an example the most frequently mentioned among motorists and home "craftsmen" brands: «TOPTULL» , «Force» , «Matrix» , «Sumake» , «Stankoimport» , «Ferant» .And this is not a complete list of all that is on the shelves of our stores.

Moreover, the evaluation criteria are completely different.For example, a set of "Stankoimport" alone attracts diverse range of complete, others - "lifetime" it factory warranty, third - affordable price.To whom to listen than to be guided?Moreover, many sets, even from the same manufacturer, differ from each other by their contents.But one conclusion can be drawn.Selection tool - a kind of a whole "science".Given the huge range of relevant products, it makes sense to focus on the analysis of the most widespread and most commonly used tools, which are included in almost every set.

Keys

What's important to them?The strength of the steel.Although our, local keys on the form and not as attractive as the imported, but the master never practice them not trade on shiny imported.Some union, carob sometimes even more expensive than products made in Taiwan, for example, but they do not "slip" along the edges, as the metal of good quality and is not deformed by a great effort.

Among foreign manufacturers can be identified (in the optimal ratio quality - price) firm «Gedore» Tools (Germany).For those who appreciate the time and ease of operation, should pay attention to the samples under the brand «Bahco» (Sweden).Ring spanners with built-in "ratchet" greatly simplifies operations by loosening / tightening the screws.In terms of convenience, attractive carob samples branded «Stanley» (so-called "accelerators" English production).

Screwdrivers

They are divided into three classes.Let us leave aside consideration of the merits (and deficiencies) professional use models.And that's what has to work at home?

• coating.Chrome instrument is short-lived.Once the damaged layer, metal corrosion process begins.The tip of the blade does not possess adequate strength and screwdriver starts to "slip", or even "wrinkle" in the slot.
• handle.Plastic handle with longitudinal cuts - not the best option.The solid material in the long, heavy work with the tool results in the formation of calluses and hand fatigue.

recommends screwdriver Swedish production, England, Germany.Working part of the "sting" of screwdrivers has high durability and grip are more convenient (from the materials made on the basis of rubber).They do not slip from the hands, stained, for example, in the oil, and do not crack.In this regard, well-proven German screwdriver «Vera» , «Wiha» and the already mentioned brands «Banco» ."Englishwomen» «Stanley» are approximately 15 - 20% cheaper, but the quality of them practically in no way inferior.

«spongy» tool

clear that without tools such as pliers, "platypus", clippers and the like, no set can not be called complete.However they feature that has moving parts in the structure.The complexity of determining the quality of the instrument noted by all experts - even a professional is not always reveal the counterfeit (fake).Therefore, and given such advice:

• check the certificate of conformity to standards (ISO-9001);
• to shop only in specialized retail outlets, especially because you can always get professional tip or piece of advice;
• not chase cheapness;
• look carefully at the packaging - it is always (if it is not a fake) can monitor load.Then it will become clear whether these snack pliers steel wire cross-section, for example, 2.0 mm.

saw blade

This is also - quite "sick" question for any host.To avoid such troubles, as the rapid deterioration, destruction by excessive tightening and so on, professionals advise to buy bimetal blade.Their cost is much higher than normal (5 - 7 times), but such a financial investment itself justifies product durability.

sets

cost is the full list of manufacturers, models and prices is meaningless, given the diversity of the range - enough to see the entire range of Russia's largest store.But to have an idea of ​​how much money will have to spend a few examples suffice.

few comments

• And is there any sense to buy a "new-fangled" and popular among friends set?It is not a fact that all the accessories in it will in fact really need.Experience shows that the optimum kit is made up of different tools , regardless of by whom and where it is made.The man who has his own experience, knows what a screwdriver, needle files, and so on he has often used.Here on this and we should proceed.

For example, for the average motorist will be sufficient and the basic set of tools, which always lies in the luggage compartment.And always in the garage, and something else.All the more so to prepare "for all occasions" life still will not turn out - the situation (and failure) are different.

• According to the author, an important criterion of expediency of purchase - easy to use.In life often have to deal with some kind of repair operations in the most cramped conditions, taking sometimes very uncomfortable position.In this regard, preferred kits, where there are versatile tools.

example, working at height or underneath the vehicle, it is better to take with the same screwdriver with interchangeable nozzles than 5 - 6 different types, under a certain size, and splines.It also fully applies to the keys.Everywhere there will be expanded beautiful bag and use its contents?

• should be wary of such to the manufacturer as a "lifetime warranty."And it's not that it's banal cheating customers.How in practice is exchanged faulty (the broken) tool?Where to go and what to say in this case?This issue requires the most meticulous refinement.Perhaps the author exaggerates somewhat, but did not need to decide whether all the issues through numerous examinations, with a bunch of witnesses during the trial?Knowing the present state of our order, and it can not be ruled out.
• From the point of view of cost optimization to start to determine that the tool is really necessary in farm or for a specific purpose.Then calculate the total cost for buying it at retail, and compare the result with the cost of a suitable set.
