AUTOMOTIVE MAINTENANCE TOOLS STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS.
Box-end,wrench,ANS,-
If,a,6-point,wrench,is,less,likely,to,strip,a,fastener,,when,would,there,be,a,need,for,12-point,wrench?,ANS,-
You,will,use,a,12-
point,wrench,when,if,you,have,a,limited,amount,of,space,for,movement,,which,is,when,the,12-
points,allow,for,twice,the,placements,on,the,fastener.,A,6-
point,is,more,stronger,at,gripping,a,bolt,or,nut,than,a,12-point
What,is,the,most,common,ratchet,size?,ANS,-3/8,inch
What,tool,could,be,used,to,cut,an,exhaust,pipe?,ANS,-Hacksaw,blade
What,are,the,two,types,of,measurement,systems,commonly,used?,ANS,-
International,System,of,Units,,whole,numbers,(Metric,system),and,U.S,customary,units,,fractions,,reduce
d,to,lowest,possible,denominator,(Standard,System),Need,to,know,fractions,between,0,and,1,inch.
What,is,the,function,of,an,air,gauge?,ANS,-
A,tool,that,measures,air,pressure,on,tires,,measures,pounds,per,square,inch,on,tires.
What,are,two,common,types,of,screwdrivers?,How,do,you,know,what,type,of,screwdriver,tip,to,use?,ANS,
-
Phillips,(plus,shape),and,a,flathead,(straight,line).,The,proper,tip,will,fit,in,a,fastener,head,snugly,when,it,fi
ts.,Damage,or,tool,slippage,may,occur,if,an,incorrect,sized,tip,is,used.
If,you,only,had,one,wrench,in,your,toolbox,,what,type,would,it,be?,ANS,-
An,Adjustable,Wrench.,The,jaw,can,be,adjusted,to,fit,metric,or,standard,fasteners.,Use,it,correctly,,can,sli
p,and,break,something.
Why,is,it,important,to,use,the,correct,tool?,ANS,-
So,you,don't,damage,the,car,,hurt,yourself,,or,break,the,tools.,It,can,also,be,hard,to,do,certain,things,unle
ss,you,have,the,correct,tool.
, ALLDATA,ANS,-_______________,provides,vehicle,manufacturers',diagnostic,and,repair,information.
Coolant,Testers,ANS,-Tests,for,anti-freeze/anti-
boil,protection.,Allows,visual,inspection,for,rust,and,sediment.
Used,to,measure,the,specific,gravity,in,the,coolant,to,determine,the,correct,mixture,of,water,to,antifreez
e
Converting,Measurements,ANS,-
To,convert,a,smaller,unit,to,a,larger,unit,(eg,cm,to,m),,first,divide,it,by,the,number,of,smaller,units,which,a
re,needed,to,make,1,larger,unit.,To,convert,from,a,larger,unit,to,a,smaller,one,,multiply.,To,convert,from,a
,smaller,unit,to,a,larger,one,,divide.
