Buying Guide

Equipping an automotive workshop starts with the lifting equipment — a quality car jack and rated axle stands are non-negotiable for safe under-vehicle work. Build from there with a comprehensive socket set covering both 3/8 and 1/2-inch drive for engine, suspension and brake work. Add a calibrated torque wrench for wheel nuts and cylinder head bolts where precision matters. Air tools — particularly an impact wrench — transform wheel and suspension work. For engine removal and rebuilds, an engine crane rated above the engine weight and a swivel engine stand complete the heavy lifting equipment. JCB automotive tools are sized and priced for professional automotive workshop use, with welded steel and chrome vanadium construction throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What automotive tools do I need for a home garage?

Start with a 2-3 tonne trolley jack and a set of axle stands. Add a comprehensive socket set, a torque wrench, a set of combination spanners and a set of pliers. These cover the majority of servicing and maintenance tasks on passenger cars.

What weight jack do I need for a van or 4x4?

Check the vehicle's gross weight rating. Most vans and 4x4s require a 3-tonne jack minimum. Some larger commercial vehicles need higher capacity. JCB trolley jacks are available from 2.5 to 22 tonnes.

Are JCB automotive tools suitable for professional workshop use?

Yes. JCB automotive tools are built to professional workshop standards with rated load capacities, welded steel construction and chrome vanadium hand tools. They are used by professional garages, agricultural engineers and fleet maintenance teams across the UK.
