A Complete Tool Outfit.
Here is list made by well-known ex-
pert of what tools car should be equipped
with for ordinary road work:
First the ordinary tools, most of which
are furnished by the makers with new
car. but which the buyer of a second-h hand
car is likely to have to purchase sepa-
rately: They include a jack. two or three
wrenches of assorted sizes. including prefer
ably a couple of solid wrenches for the
commonest sizes of nuts. a Stillson pipe
wrench. a pair of pipe pliers, pair of
Stubs side cutting pliers. assorted files and
chiselS, hammer. couple of screW-driy-
ers, spare nuts and screws, a few spare cot
tiers, few feet of insulated covered wire,
some bare copper iron wire and a little
fine emery cloth for cleaning plugs or
roughening the surface of inner tube be-
fore applying the patch. The tire repair
parts should include an air pump. tire tools
and repair kit complete, at least one spare
inner tube, few spare air valve washers
and valve inSideS.' meaning thereby the
delicate parts of the valve which may need
to be replaced, and raWhide manchOn or
a strap, to put around the casing to get the
car home in case of blowout A can of
cylinder oil, a small box of grease, and
spare plugs and gaskets should be carried,
together with an oil gun, or an oil can with
long spout. A spare gallon of gasoline is
likely to come in handy. and a can of car
bide is worth including unless you know
that the gas generator can be depended on.
Personally, / prefer to carry battery
tester also, although with spare battery it
is not often needed. If the inlet valves are
automatic it may be well to carry a spare
valve and it's cage and one or two extra
valve Springs well Inlet valve stems
have a way of breaking where the key goes
through, and with one two-cylnder
motor this accident may be very trouble
some in the absence of an extra valve"
