In the automotive world, air compressors have various uses, like filling tires,
operating pneumatic tools, or supporting industrial processes. These
compressors come in different types based on the pressure they deliver: low,
medium, or high. There are two main methods of compressing air: positive-
displacement and roto-dynamic. Positive-displacement compressors work by
reducing the volume of a chamber to compress the air. Examples include single-
stage reciprocating compressors, multi-stage reciprocating compressors,
compound compressors, single-stage rotary-screw compressors, two-stage
rotary-screw compressors, rotary vane pumps, scroll compressors, centrifugal
compressors (roto-dynamic or turbo), and axial compressors.

An engine hoist, also known as a cherry picker or shop crane, is a handy tool for
lifting heavy objects like car engines. It consists of a strong steel frame with a
hydraulic jack. This setup allows you to safely remove, install, or swap out
vehicle engines, transmissions, and other hefty parts. There are three common
types of engine hoists: hydraulic, chain, and electric chain hoists. The choice
depends on factors like the weight you're lifting, cost, and convenience.
Hydraulic hoists are the most popular. They have an adjustable arm, hydraulic
jack, frame, and legs. The crane arm, with different lengths and weight
capacities, has a hook for connecting to the engine. Using a bar to pump the
hydraulic jack raises the arm, and releasing pressure lowers it.

49. CYLINDER LEAKAGE TESTER


A Cylinder Leakage Tester is a tool that helps measure how much air pressure is
lost in a cylinder, usually expressed as a percentage. It's used to pinpoint issues
in an engine and assess the amount of leakage. The test involves injecting
regulated air into the cylinder and noting the drop in pressure. Think of it as a
reverse compression test — where compression tests check the engine's ability
to create pressure, a leak-down test looks for air loss from the cylinder. This test
is valuable for troubleshooting and identifying problems before considering a
more extensive engine rebuild.
50. GRINDERS

it easier to take off old tires from rims and put new tires on. This tool is
commonly used in automotive shops for changing tires on cars, trucks, and
motorcycles. It typically consists of a rotating platform, a mounting mechanism,
and tools to break the bead (seal) between the tire and the rim, allowing for
efficient and quick tire replacement.
53. BATTERY TESTER
A battery tester is a device used to check the condition and charge level of a
battery. It helps determine whether a battery has enough power to start a
vehicle or operate electronic devices. Battery testers come in various types,
including handheld devices and more sophisticated diagnostic tools. They
typically measure voltage, cranking amps, and sometimes the overall health of
the battery. By using a battery tester, users can assess whether a battery is in
good condition or if it needs recharging or replacement. This tool is commonly
used in automotive maintenance to prevent unexpected battery failures.
54. CIRCUIT TESTER
A circuit tester is a tool used to check the presence and flow of electrical current
in a circuit. It helps identify if electricity is reaching a particular point in a circuit
or if there is a break in the continuity. Circuit testers often consist of a probe
and a light or indicator. When the probe touches a live electrical connection, the
indicator lights up, confirming the presence of current. This tool is commonly
used by electricians and automotive technicians to troubleshoot electrical
systems, locate faults, and ensure that circuits are functioning as intended.
55. TIRE BALANCER
A tire balancer is a machine used to ensure that the weight of a tire is
distributed evenly around its circumference. It helps prevent vibrations and
uneven tire wear, leading to a smoother ride and extended tire life. Tire
balancers are commonly used in automotive service centers and tire shops
during the installation of new tires or when addressing issues related to tire
imbalance. The process involves placing the tire on the balancer, which then
identifies any imbalance and indicates where additional weight should be
added to achieve proper balance. This helps improve the overall performance
and safety of the vehicle.
56. REFRIGERANT RECOVERY MACHINE
A refrigerant recovery machine is a device used in the automotive and HVAC
(heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) industries to safely remove
refrigerant from cooling systems. It plays a crucial role in environmental
protection by preventing the release of harmful refrigerants into the
atmosphere. When a vehicle or HVAC system needs maintenance, the
refrigerant recovery machine extracts the refrigerant from the system, allowing
for repairs or servicing to be performed. This process is essential because many
refrigerants used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems can be harmful
to the environment if released. The refrigerant recovery machine captures and
stores the refrigerant, enabling it to be properly recycled or disposed of
according to environmental regulations. This helps in maintaining the efficiency
of cooling systems while minimizing the environmental impact of refrigerant
emissions.
