Mechanics Tool Supply Blog

When it comes to online mechanics tool retailers, most of the discussion surrounds major upgrades to your shop’s equipment.  Power tools, lifts, onboard diagnostic systems, and other expensive propositions get a lot of attention for a reason: they’re integral to your shop’s success.  However, keeping tabs on the regular supplies your shop uses is equally important for keeping your shop running smooth.

Working in a mechanics shop requires a variety of power supplies and solutions in order to keep the shop humming at peak productivity.  Mechanics tools use a lot of power and need to move from job to job with minimal fuss.  Usually, extension cords offer a fast and easy solution to mobile power needs.

However, multiple cords can snake through shops, creating tripping hazards for employees and a look of disorganization.  If your shop is littered with cumbersome extension cords, consider purchasing an extension cord reel from Mechanics Tool Supply.  Each reel comes in a distinct finish and fits a variety of mounting solutions.  They’re a surefire way to reorganize and upgrade your shop.

If your shop needs to upgrade or outfit its mechanics tools or equipment, look no further than Mechanics Tool Supply.  We pride ourselves in providing innovative tools and solutions to mechanics shops that require the best tools for the job.  That’s why our inventory reflects the tools and equipment necessary for incredible work solutions that won’t put a dent in your shop’s budget.

Mechanics Tools are designed to provide maximum performance using powerful methods for delivering force, torque, and tension.  Drills and sophisticated power tools are designed to give physical power to the mechanic that allows them to perform difficult tasks.  However, all of the fanciful technology behind mechanics tools comes down to the surface that has contact with the material being manipulated.

In the case of drilling, the simple bit is the most important part of any power tool.  It is the point where the work being performed by the mechanic interfaces with the surface or material they are trying to mold and modify.  If the bit is not up to par, performance and work can suffer.  A dull or poorly designed bit can mean the difference between a simple job and a nightmare scenario.

That’s why Mechanics Tool Supply offers this Astro Pneumatic AP9012 1/8th drill bit set.  It comes with a pouch of 12 sturdy, double-end bits made to take on the most difficult jobs.  They are ideal for auto body work and have a 135 degree split point for maximum penetration.  If you’re looking to upgrade or outfit your power equipment, consider purchasing these powerful drill bits.

Mechanics expose themselves to a variety of dangers within the work place.  Notwithstanding the harsh chemicals and vapors that find their way into work areas, the potential for lift malfunction and other problems “up high” can present the danger of debris.  In addition, abrasions and loud noises from mechanics tools can present a further risk of injury to a mechanic.

That’s why its important to give your mechanics the tools they need to stay safe on the job.  Hard hats help to protect vulnerable areas of the head while safety glasses shield the eyes from potential harm.  Ear protection reduces the harmful effects of loud noise while respirators block out toxic fumes.  Knee pads reduce wear and tear on the body while gloves make handling hot or abrasive surfaces easy.  All of these important safety tools and equipment are available through our online store.

Mechanics Tool Supply works hard to provide tools and equipment that cater to the nuances of everyday mechanical work.  All of the tools we offer, ranging from safety gear to measuring tools, are made to fit your working needs to the highest degree possible.  If you’re looking to resupply or refit your shop, take the time to look through our considerable inventory and you’re sure to find something you can use to make your workday easier.

When you invest in new equipment and mechanics tools, it can be easy to overlook the tools you take for granted on a daily basis.  Hand tools, basic supplies, and lighting are just some of the categories of mechanics tools that you deal with on a daily basis.  For many experienced mechanics, tools such as these are often hand-me-downs from previous jobs or part of a personal collection.

In the case of hex sets, endurance and quantity are keys to their successful use.   Even when galvanized, some hex sets have a tendency to rust or wear when stored in highly moisturized environments.  Others can become chipped and provide poor fittings when applied to tough bolts.  In some cases, the grip area of the tool can wear away, making use uncomfortable and ineffective.

If it’s time to upgrade your shop’s hex sets, consider buying a quantity of our SK Hand Tool SK19718A Fractional Hex Key Sets.  Each set includes 18 pieces made in the USA and is packaged in a handy pouch, making for easy transport and storage.  A lifetime warranty is attached to each set allowing for peace of mind and easy replacement.  Purchasing a set for each of the mechanics in your shop is a great way to make their workday easier.

Working with a variety of materials during your workday takes flexibility and performance.  Moving from job to job requires adaptable mechanics tools with the performance you need.  That’s why tool innovations have left a lasting legacy for many mechanics.  Air tools and cordless tools give the performance and flexibility mechanics need for their everyday work.

If your shop is a busy place with a variety of duties being performed, you probably move more air than the space shuttle on some hectic days.  Air tools and other situations that require pressurization or refilling can tax even the most enduring air compressor.  Unlike other mechanics tools, air compressors can be noisy contraptions that lose a great deal of performance over time.

The noise alone can begin to wear on even the most experienced mechanic.  When air compressors become finicky and take a longer and longer to recharge, the problem can be more than a nuisance.  You begin to lose time as you wait for the tool to perform its job.  And as every successful business owner will tell you, the more time you lose, the more money and potential customers go with it.

That’s why you should consider upgrading your air compressor to this top of the line model to power your next generation or air and mechanics tools.  The Chicago Pneumatic CPQRS75HPD Quiet Rotary Screw Air Compressor with dryer comes complete with a tank mount and a bevy of special features to make your air compression needs easier.  Its quiet enclosure and extra durability will go a long way towards making your shop a productive, and profitable one.

Air tools are made to provide a performance and durability advantage over conventional tools.  Pneumatic pressure allows them to place more force, rotate faster, and press harder than their hand or electric counterparts.  That’s why they’re found in mechanic’s shops across the country doing the daily jobs conventional tools could never accomplish.

If you’re making regular use of air tools in your shop, consider whether it is time to upgrade or outfit your shop with a new air ratchet.  The performance of an air ratchet is a cut above conventional ratchets and ensures tight bonds in less time and with less fuss.  This Ingersoll Rand IR1077XP Air Ratchet is built to endure countless jobs and provide quality performance that is a cut above other air tools in its class.

If air condition service is an important part of the mechanical work you perform each day, your tools and performance must be built to fit the task at hand.  The better they perform and the longer they last, the less time and money you spend on routine jobs and maintenance.  Upgrading and outfitting your shop equipment is an investment that will pay dividends in the future.
