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.
