Build a useful kit by function.
Screwdrivers, pliers, access tools and measuring tools do different work. This is a starter-tool overview with separate functional groups, not a ranking of fifteen interchangeable products. Start with the school or employer list and check what is already in the socket kits.
The fixed-blade driver set and compact multi-bit driver overlap partly. Extensions may already be supplied with a socket kit. Specialist pry bars, picks and trim tools are useful when they prevent an unsuitable screwdriver being used to lever or extract a component.
80066H 20-piece mechanic screwdriver set
A screwdriver set for common manual fastening tasks and workshop access work. Choose tip sizes that fit the screw properly and avoid using a screwdriver as a pry bar.
Exact H suffix matters. Includes small precision profiles and T15/T20, not a complete Torx fastener range. Choose an appropriate profile and avoid using screwdrivers as pry bars.
32500HD impact-rated 11-in-1 screwdriver/nut driver
A multi-bit screwdriver and nut-driver tool for keeping common manual fastening options together. Check the included profiles and avoid applying it to fasteners that need a more suitable dedicated tool.
This is the 32500HD rather than the 32500HDRT ratcheting version or an insulated driver. The standard 1/2-inch nut-driver function is not described as an impact power nut driver.
D203-8 eight-inch needle-nose side-cutting pliers
Long-nose pliers for reaching and handling small parts in confined spaces. Their narrow jaws are useful where fingers or broader pliers cannot get a controlled grip.
The standard model is not the insulated -INS or glow-handle -GLW variant. Ordinary handle covering is not electrical insulation.
D228-8 eight-inch diagonal-cutting pliers
Diagonal-cutting pliers for appropriate wire and cutting tasks in a mechanic’s hand-tool kit. Check the material and capacity before cutting hardened components or using excessive leverage.
This is the standard version, rather than -INS or tethered -TT. Use it for appropriate cutting material, not hardened automotive fasteners.
502L3 Original 10WR curved-jaw locking pliers
Curved-jaw locking pliers for holding suitable parts during workshop work. Jaw adjustment and release access matter, and the jaws can mark finished surfaces.
The selected 502L3 is one 10WR curved-jaw locking plier. Locking jaws can mark fittings; choose a proper flare-nut or combination wrench for precision fittings.
87 01 250 ten-inch Cobra water-pump pliers
Adjustable water-pump pliers for gripping suitable parts of different sizes. They complement fixed-size wrenches, particularly where a secure grip matters more than protecting a finished surface.
Serrated jaws suit gripping tasks but can mark precision fittings. Check the exact 87 01 250 handle configuration when ordering.
80742 84-piece hex/Torx bit socket set
A bit-socket set covering several hex and Torx fastener profiles used around vehicles. Identify the exact profile and size before applying torque; similar-looking profiles are not interchangeable.
Manufacturer explicitly limits use to manual drive tools: do not put these on the cordless impact wrench. Match individual sizes to the course and serviced vehicles.
SBH00224 24-inch breaker bar
A long breaker bar for applying controlled manual leverage to suitable fasteners. It provides a separate tool for loosening work before a torque wrench is used for specified tightening.
Manual loosening and controlled leverage; not a calibrated torque wrench or an impact-drive accessory.
SHA91011 four-piece 3/8-inch extension set
A socket-extension set for reaching fasteners beyond a ratchet’s immediate clearance. Different lengths help position the handle where there is room to turn it.
Optional purchase if the socket kit already supplies the required reach; not advertised here as impact-rated.
61366 Dominator five-piece curved pry-bar set
A handled pry-bar set for controlled leverage in appropriate mechanical service work. The different bar sizes help with access, but the contact point must tolerate the applied load.
Choose bar length for access and controlled leverage, protect adjacent parts and avoid using a screwdriver as a substitute. Individual bar lengths need confirmation before a length-specific purchase.
31750 four-piece mini hook-and-pick set
A pick-and-hook set for reaching seals, clips and small components during suitable service tasks. Work carefully around sealing surfaces and wiring insulation that a sharp tip could damage.
Useful for clips, seals and O-rings with care; sharp picks can score sealing surfaces. Not a heavy pry-bar substitute.
35440 three-piece body-trim tool set
A trim-removal tool set for suitable panel clips and fasteners. Choose the tool that supports the clip or panel properly before applying force.
A metal fastener/clip set, not an all-plastic no-mar trim-pry kit. Match clip design and protect visible surfaces.
33-725 FATMAX Classic 25-foot tape measure
A 25-foot tape measure for workshop layout and general dimensional checks. It complements automotive measuring tools without replacing the precision instruments required for component tolerances.
This is the single 25-foot FATMAX tape. A tape measure helps with general dimensions; use a suitable precision rule or gauge for component clearances.
