Automotive Tools

JCB automotive tools cover every task a professional mechanic, agricultural engineer or fleet manager faces. Car jacks from 1.5 to 22 tonnes, low-profile trolley jacks for sports cars, axle stands rated for commercial vehicles, bottle jacks for agricultural machinery, socket sets in 3/8 and 1/2-inch drive, calibrated torque wrenches from 5Nm to 800Nm, air impact wrenches up to 4000Nm, engine cranes, engine stands, hydraulic presses and body repair kits. All built from chrome vanadium and welded steel, rated for professional load ratings, and backed by JCB warranty. The complete automotive workshop — built to the same standard as JCB's construction machinery.

Buying Guide

Equipping an automotive workshop starts with the lifting equipment — a quality car jack and rated axle stands are non-negotiable for safe under-vehicle work. Build from there with a comprehensive socket set covering both 3/8 and 1/2-inch drive for engine, suspension and brake work. Add a calibrated torque wrench for wheel nuts and cylinder head bolts where precision matters. Air tools — particularly an impact wrench — transform wheel and suspension work. For engine removal and rebuilds, an engine crane rated above the engine weight and a swivel engine stand complete the heavy lifting equipment. JCB automotive tools are sized and priced for professional automotive workshop use, with welded steel and chrome vanadium construction throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What automotive tools do I need for a home garage?

Start with a 2-3 tonne trolley jack and a set of axle stands. Add a comprehensive socket set, a torque wrench, a set of combination spanners and a set of pliers. These cover the majority of servicing and maintenance tasks on passenger cars.

What weight jack do I need for a van or 4x4?

Check the vehicle's gross weight rating. Most vans and 4x4s require a 3-tonne jack minimum. Some larger commercial vehicles need higher capacity. JCB trolley jacks are available from 2.5 to 22 tonnes.

Are JCB automotive tools suitable for professional workshop use?

Yes. JCB automotive tools are built to professional workshop standards with rated load capacities, welded steel construction and chrome vanadium hand tools. They are used by professional garages, agricultural engineers and fleet maintenance teams across the UK.
