                     Top Mechanic Tools & 
Equipment List
If you’re just starting out as a do-it-yourselfer or are 
considering doing some automobile maintenance and 
want to work on your car yourself, here are some of the 
basic mechanics’ tools you will need to start your hobby.
 Hammer
The basic tool that makes you a certified 
do-it-yourselfer is a hammer.
 Screwdrivers
A good set of screwdrivers is mandatory to any basic tool kit. 
Used not only for inserting and removing screws, a good 
screwdriver can work as a mild pry bar and serve as drift.
 Pry Bar
A pry bar is necessary to help apply leverage to 
tighten belts or check for play in suspension joints.
 Wrenches
As with screwdrivers, investment in a good set of wrenches is 
valuable. Wrenches come in a variety of types and sizes.
 Flashlight
A good flashlight with a magnetic base can be very handy to light 
up darker areas without tying up your hands. Rechargeable and 
LED versions offer a bright light with a long battery life.
 Underhood Light
This rechargeable underhood light makes working on your vehicle 
or any other area that needs easier than ever with both 
rechargeable and corded power options.
 Oil Drain Equipment
Designed for use with heavy-duty trucks, buses, RV’s and other low-profile 
heavy-duty equipment, this oil drain is ideal for use with oil and engine 
coolants. 
 Spark Plug Gapper
A spark plug gapper is a simple, inexpensive tool that no 
mechanic should be without. These are typically about a dollar 
and found near the checkout at most auto parts stores.
 Toolbox
A good toolbox is indispensable and provides a 
place to not just store your tools but also keep 
them organized and easy to find.
