This is a Routering robot we call the RoboRouter. It uses 1hp 18000rpm air motors to spin three tools, a 90degree router bit, a straight router, and a carbide saw blade. The robot also has a rotary table that allows the operator to load new tops and unload finished ones while the robot is operating. This means that the robot is up 100% of the time, as long as the operator can keep up! They cut about 10 different tops on that robot now and probably cut 40 a day (one shift). This robot …
There are several types of automotive tools available, and if you are in the business of fixing cards, or just want to make sure that you have the utilities necessary to keep your car in shape, you need to know which are the most important.
It should be emphasized that there is no such thing as an all in one automotive tool; in almost all cases, every potential problem can be fixed by a particular tool.
Replacing Car Parts.
With the Internet it has become easier than ever to find the parts necessary to replace a defective part. Of course, if the particular part is complex, or if the vehicle is imported, it will take a while before it can be replaced, especially if it has to be shipped from another country.
Automotive Tool Kits
Of course, it is important that if there is something wrong with the car you should consult a qualified mechanic. However, for simpler problems that you can fix on your own, it pays to have a few handy tools with you.
These automotive tools are not that expensive; basically all you’ll need are wrenches, several types of screws, pliers, pocket knives, jumper cables, torque wrenches, spare fuses, battery terminal brush, road flares, gloves, flashlights duct tapes, a reflective vest, oil and some spare tires of course. Of course, do not forget the car jacks. Of course, other essentials are medical kits and cell phones.
If you are going out on a long trip, you just need a good sized bag to put all those tools in. Put them in the back of the trunk. Finally, you should remember that although these automotive tools are easy to find anywhere, you should purchase the best that your money can afford.
The same can be said if you are in the car or vehicle repair business. Do not scrimp on the quality of the tools, because whatever you save on the cost of the tools will come out when customers start complaining of inefficient or poor service.
Some more tools you may want to invest in are the following:
Fuel injector pulse testers / fuel injection probes: these are the utilities that are used to determine the state of the fuel in the vehicle. There are several fuel saver kits available, and these two utilities can help monitor their efficiency.
Brake bleeders / brake bleeder vacuums: few things are more important than the brakes of a car; before using brake bleeders, you need to make sure that they are of the proper size for the vehicle.
Suction cups: this nifty tool is utilized by car mechanics as a device to keep a door window in its place as they work on specific parts. Besides suction cups, other automotive tools that will be useful for repair work are locking strip tools and knives.
When it comes to cars, it’s always best to be prepared. You can have it checked out every time, but you can never tell when it will act up on your next cross country trip, so it’s best to have the essential automotive tools with you.

why can’t we post???
Part of the reason that they sell Craftsman sets in such large sets, with over 100 socket in a set in some cases, is that you will find reasons for all of the different sockets, even though you often will get 3 of the same size. For instance, a 6 sided socket is the best if you need to get a very firm grip on a tight nut. But if you have a very small range of motion, a 12 sided socket will help you get the socket on the nut whereas you may not have the proper angle with a 6 sided socket.
Deep well sockets are very useful for certain jobs, including ones where the bolt is too long for the smaller sockets. They also have angled sockets that allow you to get into tight areas that cannot be approached straight on.
I don't work for sears or anything, but i noticed that they currently have a 96 or 98 socket set on sale for just under $$100. It had all three socket wrench sizes, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 in it. Looked like a pretty good deal to me.
If you actually are a real mechanic you probably want to go with something better than craftsman. Snap-On is the name I have been told is one of the best. At a refinery I worked at I often saw Rigid tools.
Good luck

That Rocks!
I feel sure that Habitat for Humanity could use them or would know of someone else. There should be a toll-free number in
the yellow pages of your local phone directory. If not, there is a website for information. Bless you for thinking to pass your Dad's tools on!
