1 Basic inspection

The first step to assess your mechanic tools is to inspect them visually and physically. Look for any signs of damage, wear, rust, corrosion, cracks, or loose parts. Feel for any rough edges, wobbles, or misalignments. Test the function and fit of your tools, such as wrenches, sockets, pliers, screwdrivers, and hammers. Make sure they are clean, lubricated, and calibrated. If you find any defects or problems, mark them with a sticker or a tag and set them aside for further action.

I recommend cleaning your tools with rubbing alcohol. Doing this will keep your tools clean and in good shape. Also, add lubrication to the joints. This will prevent rust and also keep them in good shape for the next time you use them.

2 Tool inventory

The next step to assess your mechanic tools is to take an inventory of what you have and what you need. You can use a spreadsheet, a checklist, or a tool management software to record the type, quantity, location, and condition of your tools. You can also categorize your tools by frequency of use, purpose, or value. This will help you identify any gaps, duplicates, or excesses in your tool collection. You can also compare your inventory with your work requirements and budget to plan for any upgrades or purchases.

I recommend labeling your tool box drawers to stay organized so that you know exactly where your tools are/belong. As far as what you have, it all comes with memory for me. If you have to write down what you have, then do so.

3 Tool maintenance

The third step to assess your mechanic tools is to perform regular maintenance on them. This includes cleaning, lubricating, sharpening, adjusting, and calibrating your tools according to the manufacturer's instructions. You can also use a tool maintenance log to track the date, type, and result of each maintenance activity. This will help you extend the life and performance of your tools and prevent any failures or accidents. You can also schedule periodic inspections and audits to ensure your tools meet the safety and quality standards.

4 Tool replacement

When assessing your mechanic tools, you should decide when to replace them. If a tool is broken, damaged, or worn beyond repair; obsolete, incompatible, or inefficient for your work; missing, lost, or stolen; recalled, banned, or non-compliant with regulations; or cheaper to replace than to maintain or repair, it may be time to get a new one. When looking for the best options available in the market, consider the quality, price, warranty, and features of the new tools. Additionally, be sure to dispose of your old tools properly by recycling, donating, or selling them.

5 Tool storage

The fifth step to assess your mechanic tools is to store them properly. You can use a tool box, a tool chest, a tool cabinet, or a tool cart to organize and protect your tools. You can also use labels, dividers, trays, hooks, or magnets to sort and arrange your tools by size, type, or function. You should store your tools in a dry, cool, and secure place, away from moisture, heat, dust, or theft. You should also check your tools before and after each use and return them to their designated place.

Proper storage is vital for maintaining tool longevity. Organizing tools with boxes, chests, or cabinets, and using labels or dividers, helps keep them accessible and in good condition. Storing tools in a secure environment away from environmental hazards ensures they are ready for use when needed. Regular checks and returning tools to their designated place are habits that contribute to a well-maintained workspace.

6 Tool education

The sixth and final step to assess your mechanic tools is to educate yourself on how to use them safely and effectively. You can read the manuals, watch the videos, or take the courses on how to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot your tools. You can also learn from other mechanics, experts, or mentors who have more experience and knowledge on the tools. You should also follow the best practices, tips, and tricks on how to handle, store, and care for your tools. By educating yourself, you can improve your skills, confidence, and productivity as a mechanic.

Best practice for me for tool inventory, 1st, shadow your tools for inventory, and to know if you are missing anything after a maintenance job, 2nd, make an inventory list of tools removed to complete a maintenance task, this way you know what tools you had on hand when starting a task, it helps to make sure you don't leave anything behind.
