| To make work easier, power tools are a vital component of everyday auto repair. Just like hand tools, power tools are used frequently on every system on a car--under the hood, inside the cabin, and on the chassis. Using power tools such as drills, grinders, etc. makes the work go faster by using electricity or compressed air to amplify the activity. Personal safety is always a factor when using power tools, and increased vigilance is needed to prevnt injury. Additionally the cast off, fragments, and debris is associated with power tools, so highly propelled objects, such as metal shavings, will fly from the work with great force. To prevent injury good eye protection and skin protection is always required.
