1. Stethoscope

A car stethoscope works on the same principle as a medical one. It allows you to perform primary diagnostics of the engine or its individual units without disassembly. The tubes are made of stainless steel, there is an extension, which is attached with a rubber connection and helps to reach the rollers, nozzles and other assemblies in hard-to-reach places.

2. Borescope

A more advanced diagnostic tool that allows you to look inside the engine without disassembling it. A 2-megapixel camera on a semi-rigid leg is connected to a wireless module, to which a smartphone or laptop is connected via Wi-Fi to view the picture. At the end of the borescope there is LED illumination, as well as a thread for installing additional accessories from the kit: magnet, hook, mirror. The gadget is compatible with Android, iOS and Windows.

3. Brake fluid tester

A portable device for determining the percentage of moisture in the brake fluid, which it inevitably absorbs over time. You just need to remove the cap and dip the electrodes into the tank. One or two orange lights indicate fluid is normal. Reds - they say that the time has come for a replacement. The green indicator signals the operation of the tester itself and the normal charge of the AAA battery inside.

4. Tread gauge

A simple device in the form of a card with a retractable dipstick, with which it is easy to measure the tread height of tires. A scale in millimeters is marked on the body, as well as recommended values for different types of tires. It is enough to put the gauge on the wheel, extend the dipstick all the way and look at the scale.

5. Gap gauge spark plugs

A miniature coin-shaped gauge is used to check the gap between the spark plug electrodes. The disc has a different thickness along the contour - the markings in millimeters and inches are applied in a circle on both sides. You just need to insert the gauge into the spark plug gap and check its value on the scale. If necessary, the electrode can be bent in the tapered hole and the gap can be adjusted to a suitable size.

6. Set of probes

A universal set of dipsticks for adjusting valves, the same spark plug gap and other needs. The gauges are highly accurate and lubricated with oil, each with a thickness value. There are two sets to choose from: with 17 and 20 blades, which differ in the size of the step size.

12. Comb for radiator

A special "comb" with which you can smooth out the wrinkled honeycomb of the radiators of the cooling system, air conditioner or intercooler. The tool has six sets of "teeth", so it will not be difficult to select the required cell size for a specific radiator.
