Selection Tips
Choosing the right kit is a tricky business. The buyer should initially decide on the necessary features of the tools, for what work they will be designed. That is why the car enthusiast should familiarize himself with the technical characteristics of the products of interest in advance.
- Dimensions and functionality. This factor affects the way the kit is stored and transported. If there is a specially designated place inside the car for placing the case, it is necessary to measure it and select the suitcase according to the dimensions of the recess. The correct dimensions will allow the kit to be compactly packed, so that the interior will not hear extraneous noise and rumbling from metal tools that jump inside the trunk.
- Tool material. Every man knows that any tool kits are divided into amateur and professional. The strength of the elements also depends on this factor. For hobbyists, it mainly uses medium to low strength steel. Professional tools are made exclusively from high quality steel.
- Description of the complete set. Before buying, the buyer must decide on the equipment of the set and the number of elements. If a car enthusiast repairs his car on his own, he will need tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, ratchets, heads and bits.
Advantages and disadvantages
Stels car kits have tremendous advantages over other manufacturers. The management is constantly working to improve the manufactured products. To compile a list of advantages, sociologists conducted a survey among the owners of a case with Stels tools, on the basis of which they identified the positive aspects of the sets.
- High quality metal is used in the production, due to which the tool is considered so durable that the masters at service stations and in car services easily tear off the stuck bolts.
- Each individual set is equipped with a huge variety of elements. The main thing is to decide in advance for which work this or that kit tool is required.
- The owners of Stels tool cases claim that for such a low cost they have acquired a real assistant in repair work.
Despite the impressive factors of the advantages of Stels car kits, some owners of this unique case say that there are some disadvantages.
- Small heads, due to their miniature size, can fall out of their seats when carrying a suitcase in an upright position. To eliminate the problem, the manufacturer puts a special microfiber coating that tightly presses the elements of the set into the corresponding cells.
- In many sets, small screwdrivers have a miniature handle, which makes it a little uncomfortable for men with a wide brush to hold the tool.
- The spark plug wrench does not have a magnetized tip. Instead, there is a hard rubber gasket. Most often, it remains on the tip of the swirling candle. The reason for the problem is the undeveloped nature of the new elements of the set. After some time, the gum will become soft, and the procedure for replacing the candles will be reduced several times.
