Repco stock a great array of multi application tools from Toledo, Endeavour, Milwaukee and more to ensure you can get the job done with a minimum of fuss and hassle.
The guide below provides a few examples of tools that open the door to improved accuracy and efficiency in tasks around the garage or workshop.
Inspection Mirrors: Seeing the Unseen
Inspection mirrors are simple yet highly practical tools that help you view hard-to-reach or hidden spaces. Equipped with a polished, reflective surface, these tools come with adjustable handles and swivel joints, allowing flexibility to adjust the angle as needed. They are essential in fields like automotive repair, plumbing, and HVAC inspections.
In many cases you would employ an inspection mirror to check for leaks behind pipes, inspect engine components in tight spaces, or locate screws or bolts in dark corners. Some models even include LED lights, which illuminate poorly lit areas for better visibility. Opting for a mirror with a comfortable grip and a telescopic handle enhances manoeuvrability and ease of use.
Hook & Pick Sets: Precision for Small Tasks
A hook & pick set is a versatile collection of tools used for intricate tasks such as removing O-rings, retrieving springs, or loosening trapped debris. These sets often come with a variety of tips, including straight, angled, curved, or hook-shaped, each designed for specific challenges.
In automotive settings, these tools shine in tight engine compartments or when disassembling small components. Similarly, in woodworking and crafts, they can assist with detailed carving or removing small imperfections. When selecting a set, sturdy, ergonomic handles and fine tips built from durable materials such as high-carbon steel ensure both precision and longevity. They are perfect for fiddly tasks that require accuracy and attention to detail.
Thread Files: Restoring Damaged Threads
Thread files are specialised tools designed to repair damaged threads on bolts, screws, or pipe fittings. When threads are worn or stripped, thread files restore their original profile, saving time and money compared to replacing the entire component. Each file typically features multiple thread pitches to match a variety of threading patterns.
These tools are especially useful when replacing machinery parts or when working with unique fasteners that are difficult to source. To get the most from a thread file, ensure it is aligned accurately with the thread profile being repaired, and apply consistent pressure for a clean, usable result. Having a set of metric and imperial thread files on hand is ideal for working across diverse projects.
