Using Repair Tools Safely

OSHA's standard for jacks requires a jack's rated load to be clearly marked and says that after a load is raised, it must be cribbed, blocked or otherwise secured at once. Never work under a car supported only by a jack.

Eye and hand protection

Wear safety glasses for cutting, grinding and sandblasting, and gloves for sharp metal.

Electrical work

Switch off power at the breaker before working on wiring.

Repair Tools FAQs

What repair tools should every home have?

A basic home kit should include a screwdriver set with Phillips and flat bits, a socket wrench set, pliers, an adjustable wrench, a tape measure and a utility knife. Add a faucet wrench and precision screwdrivers as you take on plumbing and electronics repairs.

What's the difference between 24-tooth and 72-tooth ratchets?

The number of teeth sets how far you must swing the handle before the ratchet engages. A 72-tooth ratchet needs only a 5-degree swing, which is ideal in tight engine bays, while a 24-tooth ratchet needs a larger swing but is often stronger and simpler.

Is CR-V steel good?

Yes, chrome vanadium steel is strong, tough and resists corrosion, which is why it's common in wrenches and sockets. S2 steel is a popular choice for screwdriver bits because it's hard and resists wear.

Can I use a car jack without jack stands?

Use a jack only to lift the vehicle, never to hold it up while you work underneath. OSHA's jack standard says a raised load must be cribbed, blocked or otherwise secured at once, so always place rated jack stands under the car before working beneath it.

Are insulated screwdrivers safe for live wires?

Always switch off power at the breaker before working on wiring. Insulated handles add a layer of protection, but only tools rated and tested for live work (often marked 1000V) should be used near energized circuits. Check each listing's rating.

Do I need a welding helmet for small jobs?

Yes, even brief welds produce intense light and UV that can burn your eyes. An auto-darkening helmet darkens instantly when the arc strikes; wear gloves and long sleeves as well.

How do I stop tools rusting?

Wipe tools clean and dry after use, apply a light coat of oil to metal surfaces and moving parts, and store them in a dry case or drawer. Silica gel packs help in damp garages.

Are these tools metric or imperial?

Many socket and wrench sets include metric sizes, and some include both metric and imperial (SAE). Check each listing for sizes, especially for American cars, which may use both.

What tools do I need for phone repair?

A precision screwdriver set with Phillips, Pentalobe and Torx bits, a plastic pry tool, tweezers and a suction cup cover most phone repairs. Work on a clean mat and keep screws organized.

What's the best first tool set?

A combined socket and screwdriver set in a storage case gives beginners the widest range of everyday repairs for the money.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders arrive within 6 to 32 business days of being placed. That covers 1 to 2 business days of handling and 5 to 30 business days in transit. Standard shipping is free on every order, and we currently ship to US addresses only.

Can I return repair tools?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, if the item is new, unused and in its original packaging. Email support@globalswanky.com with your order number, the product name and the reason for the return, then wait for return instructions. There's no restocking fee.
