The most important aspects of the vehicle coil compressor are the claws, which need to be strong and kept rust-free for optimal grip, and the thread, which allows for added strength. To keep these in optimal condition, you should always store your tools in a clean, dry area that isn’t easily susceptible to moisture.
You should also regularly grease the thread and components of the compressor to ensure that every area is working fully- it is usually recommended that this be undertaken every six months, whether or not the tool has been used frequently.
Finally, you should always check your compressor is in good condition before use. If you suspect that there are any instabilities or question the effectiveness of your tool, such as a weakness over any areas, then contact your manufacturer who will help you to decide on the best course of action- whether that’s to repair, replace components or buy a new set.
