Workshop equipment
A car workshop needs various types of tools and equipment to carry out different maintenance tasks. The following categories of equipment are essential for any serious workshop.
A jump starter is a very handy device to have in the car. It allows a car with a flat battery to be started quickly without the need for another car. This is especially useful in emergencies or when there are no other vehicles around. Modern jump starters are compact and portable, and often equipped with additional features such as USB ports and torches.
In addition to a jump starter, a battery charger is an important and useful product to have in the workshop. A battery charger keeps batteries in optimal condition by charging them slowly and in a controlled manner. This extends the life of the battery and prevents starting problems. Some models offer features such as fast charging and trickle charging.
Equipment for the workshop
An oil drain pan is indispensable when changing engine oil. This pan ensures that old oil is collected cleanly and can be disposed of without it ending up on the workshop floor. A good oil drain pan is sturdy, leak-proof, and has a large enough reservoir to collect all the used oil.
To store all tools in the workshop safely and neatly, Winparts offers tool trolleys. They offer ample storage space for all your hand tools and special tools, and are often equipped with wheels so they can be easily moved around the workshop. This ensures that you always have the right tool at your fingertips.
Finally, good lighting is essential for any repair job, especially when working under the bonnet or under the car. An inspection lamp provides bright, focused light where you need it. Modern inspection lamps are often equipped with LED lighting, which ensures a longer lifespan and lower energy consumption. Many inspection lamps also have magnetic attachments and adjustable hooks, which makes them extra flexible to use.
