Cordless Impact Wrench

Wrenches are essential when it comes to loosening and removing extremely tight nuts and bolts from areas that are prone to rust. Given the underbody of a car is made almost entirely of steel, having a trusty wrench on hand is a valuable tool you will appreciate time and again.

Socket Sets

You can never go wrong with a good quality socket set. These versatile sets usually come in commonly needed sizes and a handy, durable case. This means that you can keep one in your garage and one in the car should you ever need to perform emergency works on the side of the road!

Socket sets are primarily used for tightening or loosening a wide range of fasteners. They are one of the auto DIY enthusiasts' go-to tools in their arsenal for their ability to tighten and loosen joiners made of steel. If you don't possess any high-tech machinery at home, you are definitely going to need a set of these!

Screw Drivers 

Everyone knows you should have a trusty flat head and Philips head screwdriver, but a screwdriver set allows you the versatility of being able to screw and unscrew various sizes of screws with ease. For small jobs that don't require excessive elbow grease, a good quality screwdriver set can be your best friend for a lifetime.

Spanner Sets

Like your screwdriver set, spanner sets are equally valuable to have within arm's reach. Spanners help tighten and loosen nuts and bolts and offer the versatility of having the most common sizes on hand when you need them. Invest in a stainless-steel spanner set that you can rely on for years to come.

Ratchets

Ratchets are one of those handy, multipurpose tools that every DIY mechanic should own. This item also tightens and loosens nuts and bolts but more easily than other wrenches. As ratchets attach to different-sized sockets and come in handy kits, so you will forever be reaching for and relying on this item in your tool kit.

Work Lights 

Norva Tools stocks portable floodlights, torches, headlamps, slim work lights and telescopic lights with LED functionality so that you can see clearly at any time of the day and avoid making any errors. Operate carefully and safely on your vehicle with reliable and effective LED work lights.

Crimpers & Cutters

Joining pieces of metal or other ductile material together by deforming one or both the pieces to hold the other is known as crimping, and there are special tools known as crimpers to help you complete these jobs. A cutter is typically a hardened metal or steel tool used to cut, shape, or remove material through shear deformation. If you are working with wires, you will benefit from having a cutter on hand.
