(HAND AND AIR TOOLS)

Hand Tools
CHOOSE A TOOL
Choose tools according to the type of job.

For removing and replacing bolt / nut or removing parts. It is usual to use a socket wrench set for automotive repairs. If a socket wrench set cannot be used due to work space restrictions, select a boxend wrench or an openend wrench in that order.

Choose tools according to the speed with which the job can be done.

A socket wrench is useful in that it can be used to turn bolt / nut without the need for repositioning. This allows for quick turning of bolt / nut. A socket wrench can be used in various ways depending on the type of handle that is fitted.

Choose tools with consideration for the size of turning torque

If a large torque is required for final tightening or initial loosening of a bolt / nut, use a wrench that allows a lot of strength to be applied.

SOCKET WRENCH SET

This tool can be used for the easy removing and replacing of bolt / nut through the combination of various handles and sockets, depending on the operating conditions. Application This tool holds on the bolt / nut that can be removed or replaced with a socket wrench set. 1. Size of socket

There are two sizes available - large and small. The larger part can achieve greater torque than the smaller one.

2. Depth of socket

There are two types - standard, and deep, which is 2 or 3 times deeper than standard. The deep type can be applied to the nut that the bolt projects, which do not fit into the standard type socket.

3. Jaws

There are two typesdouble hexagonal and hexagonal. The hexagonal part gains a large contact surface with bolt / nut, making it extremely difficult to damage the surface

of the bolt / nut.

SOCKET ADAPTER (SOCKET WRENCH SET)

Application Used as a connector to change the size of the socket square drive. NOTICE: Over- large torque places a load on the socket itself or on small bolts. Torque should be applied according to defined tightening limits. Socket adapter (Large small) Socket adapter (Small large) Socket with small drive size Socket with large drive size

UNIVERSAL JOINT (SOCKET WRENCH SET)

Application The socket square drive can be moved back and forth, or left and right, and the angle of the handle in relation to the socket wrench can be changed freely, making this a useful tool for work in restricted spaces. NOTICE: 1. Do not apply torque with the handle tilted to a large angle. 2. Do not use for an air tool. The joint may become detached, as it is unable to absorb the rotation swing, and cause damage to the tool, the part or the vehicle.

EXTENSION BAR (SOCKET WRENCH SET)

Application 1. Can be used to remove and replace bolt / nut which are positioned too deeply to be reached. 2. An extension bar can also be used to raise the tool from a flat surface for easier access

SPINNER HANDLE (SOCKET WRENCH SET)

Application This handle is used for removing and replacing bolt / nut where a large torque is required.

The socket jaw has hinged movement, which allows the angle of the handle to be adjusted to fit the socket wrench. The handle slides, allowing the length of the grip to be changed.

RATCHET HANDLE (SOCKET WRENCH SET)

Application 1. Turn the set lever to the right for tightening a bolt / nut and to the left for loosening. 2. Bolt / nut can be turned in a single direction without the need to reattach the socket wrench. 3. The socket wrench can be locked with a small return angle, allowing work in a restricted space.
NOTICE:

Do not apply over- large torque. This may damage the construction of the ratchet. Loosening Tightening

BOXEND WRENCH (OFFSET WRENCH)

Application Used in additional tightening and similar operations, since it can apply a large torque to bolt / nut. 1. Since the jaw is double hexagonal, fitting bolt / nut is easy. It can be refitted in a restricted space. 2. Since the hexagonal surface of the bolt / nut is surrounded, there is no danger of

damage to the corners of the bolt, and a large torque can be applied. 3. Since the shaft is angled, it can be used to turn bolt / nut in a recessed space or on a flat surface

OPENEND WRENCH (SPANNER)

Application Used in positions where a socket wrench set or a boxend wrench (offset wrench) cannot be used to remove or replace a bolt / nut. 1. The shaft is attached at an angle to the jaw. This means that through turning the openend wrench (spanner) over, it can be used to rotate further in a restricted space. 2. To prevent the opposite part from turning, such as when loosening a fuel pipe, use two openend wrenches (spanners) to loosen a nut. 3. Spanners cannot give a large torque, so should not be used for final tightening *.

ADJUSTABLE WRENCH
Application Used with bolt / nut of irregular sizes.

Turning the adjusting screw changes the bore. One adjustable wrench can therefore be used in place of multiple openend wrenches (spanners). Not suitable for applying a large torque.

Instructions Turn the adjusting screw to fit the bore to the head of the bolt / nut being used.

SPARK PLUG WRENCH

Application This tool is specifically for use in removing and replacing of spark plugs.

Two sizes, large and small, to fit the size of spark plugs. The inside of the wrench contains a magnet, which keeps the spark plug.

SCREW DRIVER
Application Used for removing and replacing screws.

Comes in plus or minus models, depending on the shape of the tip.

Instructions 1. Use the proper size of the screwdriver, which fits the grooves in the screw. 2. Keep the screwdriver aligned straight with the shank of the screw, and turn while applying pressure.

NEEDLE-NOSE PLIERS
Application Used to operate in tight spaces or to grip small parts.

The pincers are long and thin, making it suitable for work in tight spaces. Includes a blade towards the neck, which can cut fine wire, or remove insulation from electrical wires.

NOTICE:

Do not over- apply

pressure to the pincer tips. They may be bent open, rendering them useless for detailed work. Transformation Before transformation

SLIP-JOINT PLIERS
Application Used to grip things.

Changing the position of the hole at the fulcrum allows the extent to which the jaws open to be adjusted. The jaws can be used to nip or grip and pull. Fine wire can be cut at the neck.

CUTTING PLIERS (NIPPER)

Application Used for cutting fine wire.

Since the tip of the blades are rounded, it can be used for cutting fine wires, or selecting only the required wire for cutting out of a harness

HAMMER
Application Used to remove and replace parts by hitting them, and to test the tightness of a bolt by sound. The following types are available for use depending on the application or the material: Ball pin hammer Has an iron head. Plastic hammer Has a plastic head, and is used where damage must be avoided to the item being struck. Test hammer

BRASS BAR
Application A support tool that prevents hammer damage

Made of brass, so does not damage parts ( as it will deform before the part does)

GASKET SCRAPER
Application Used for removing cylinder head gaskets, liquid sealant, stickers and others from flat surfaces. Instructions 1. Scraping results depend on direction of blade: (1) Scraped better because the blade tip cuts into the gasket. However, the surface is scraped easily. (2) The blade tip does not get such a good bite into the gasket, meaning a clean result is difficult to achieve. However, the surface being scraped is not damaged

CENTER PUNCH
Application Used to mark parts.

The blade tip has been hardened, with tempering.

PIN PUNCH
Application Used for romoving and replacing of pins, and for adjusting of pins.

The punch tip has been hardened, with tempering. Two sizes of punch tip match all pins. Incorporates a rubber cushion, which ensures that the part is not damaged when stuck.

AIR TOOLS
Air tools utilize pressurized air, and are used for removing and replacing bolt / nut. They enable work to be completed quickly. Handling caution 1. Always use at the correct air pressure (Correct value : 686kPa ( 7kg / cm2)) 2. Inspect air tools periodically and apply air tool oil for lubrication and rust prevention. 3. If the air tool is used to completely remove the nut from the screw, the strength of the rotation may cause the nut to fly off. 4. Always fit the nut to the screw by hand first. If the air tool is used right from the start, the screw thread may be damaged. Be careful not to overtighten. Use a lower power range to tighten. 5. At the end, use a torque wrench to check the tightening torque.

AIR IMPACT WRENCH

Application Used with bolt / nut requiring relatively large torque. 1. Torque can be adjusted to 4-6 stages. 2. Rotation direction can be changed. 3. Used in combination with a dedicated socket wrench. The dedicated socket wrench is specially strengthened, and features a function that stops parts flying away from the drive. Socket wrenches other than dedicated ones should not be used.
