Socket Wrench Terminology For the Beginner

!±8± Socket Wrench Terminology For the Beginner

Welcome back to our series on automotive hand tools for the beginner. If this is the first article you've read, don't worry - we will take it easy on you. As discussed in other articles when you are building your new tool collection it can sometimes be hard to understand what it is that you need exactly. The last thing I want to encourage anyone to do is spend more than you have to spend in order to get the best tools you can. However, before you can understand what it is you need, we need to get you ready to understand what it is the tool does. In this article I'm going to very briefly touch on what some terminology is that you are going to need to know while selecting the best tools for your job.

Drive - this refers to the size ratchet that fits into the socket. Typically they are 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" "Drives." The larger the ratchet, the more force you can apply to the socket and therefore to the nut or bolt that you are trying to turn. Although you can use adapters to switch the drive size between sockets it is not recommended as they often break. Also, smaller drives are meant to work in smaller places and should not be used to apply overly aggressive torque to a socket and drive combination that just was not meant for the workload you are asking of it.

Spark Plug Socket - This is a special socket meant specifically for spark plugs. It's typically identified by its wrench-friendly head on which you can place a wrench around the outside of it. They also have a soft rubber boot inside that is meant to protect the plug while you are installing it into the cylinder head.

Flex Handle - This is a ratchet that has a head which will flex up to 90 degrees in articulation. This allows you to work in areas that would otherwise not permit you to use a straight ratchet because of clearance problems.

Socket Extensions - This may be the most valuable thing to make sure you have multiple lengths of in all drive sizes. I personally have 3, 6, and 10 inch length extensions in every drive size at all times. They go in between the ratchet and the socket wrench to extend the reach of the socket so that you can get to nuts of bolts that a deep in your engine compartment. When shopping for a set, I'd recommend the style that locks on the socket end with a push button release. Extensions often will wiggle loose from the socket at the wrong time, so having a set that locks are a huge time saver. I'd also follow the typical recommendation to be sure that there are no sharp edges on the tool, and that the plating has an even appearance and feel.

Swivel - Think of this like it is a universal joint for your ratchet. It will allow to you turn a socket that isn't perfect perpendicular in the direction in which you move the ratchet. This is another indispensable item, and follows the guidelines for sharp edges and plating as well.

Does Your Radiator Need to Be Flushed?

!±8± Does Your Radiator Need to Be Flushed?

Hello everyone and welcome back to our series on automotive tools and repairs for the new weekend warrior auto mechanic. These articles aren't written for the professional, but for the average Joe just looking to get his hands a little dirty on the weekends. In this article I'm going to cover how you can look at your engine radiator fluid and know if it's maybe time to do a flush and change it for fresh fluid. But now it's time for the safety message.

If you have an older vehicle that does not use a reserve coolant tank system and depends purely on the radiator for fluid, make sure you never open the radiator cap when the system is still warm or near operating temperature. Doing so can cause you to be burned if you are not careful, so always allow your car to cool down before checking the fluid. A great way to do this is to grab and squeeze the upper radiator hose. If it's warm than don't open the radiator cap.

So, when checking your radiator fluids condition, you should look for these two things. The first thing you will want to keep in mind is that coolant is green, orange, pink, blue, or yellow. If your coolant looks colorless, rusty, or has debris floating in it - flush the system and change the fluid. The second thing to look for is oil cross contamination. If the coolant has an oily or sludgy appearance get it into a trained mechanic that you trust as soon as possible.

If this is the case, your car may be suffering from a damaged head gasket or worse and will need repair beyond just a radiator flush. The last thing to look at is your hoses. If your hoses are bulging, squishy or looked cracked it's probably a good time to replace them as well. They are going to be the large hoses on the top and bottom of your radiator.

How to Use a Combination Wrench

!±8± How to Use a Combination Wrench

Welcome back to our series on hand tools for the beginner do it yourself automotive enthusiast. In this article we will discuss the proper use of a combination wrench. While the combination wrench is not a very difficult or complex tool to use, there are a few tips I have learned over the years.

-When using the open end of the wrench to its most benefit you will want to put it around the nut or bolt that you need to turn and twist the wrench in a counter clockwise direction. If (and when) the nut gives you a difficult time I normally give it a good soaking of penetrating oil. Then shortly after applying the oil, I'll tap on the head of the bolt, or the side of the nut to help break the tension on the threads and let the oil work into them a little deeper than it would otherwise.

-Always try to use your free hand to secure the wrench down over the nut. I do this to control the wrench to a greater extent and prevent it from coming off and damaging the nut or something else, such as myself.

In tight places sometimes you can't move the wrench all that far. The opening it typically at a 15 degree angle so that in those situations you can turn the wrench slightly and then flip it over to turn the wrench another 15 degrees so that you don't need to reposition it.

Never, ever think a wrench is "tight enough." If there is any play at all between the nut on the wrench, don't use it and find the proper size wrench. If it was too big and slips off the nut, it can easily round off the corners or the nut and round the wrenches of the wrench. There's no point in destroying a nut or bolt and your tool when a few seconds to find the right wrench is all you need.
