F.A.Q
Hand Tools for Automotive Workshops
What type of hand tools do you recommend for auto repair shops?
We recommend professional-grade hand tools designed for durability, precision, and intensive daily use. Essential categories include:
Socket sets & wrenches
- Screwdrivers & pliers
- Torque wrenches for precise tightening
- Hammers & chisels
- Specialty automotive tools (oil filter wrenches, brake tools, pullers, etc.)
What material are the tools made of?
Our tools are made of chrome-vanadium steel (Cr-V) or high-carbon steel, ensuring strength, wear resistance, and long service life. Handles are designed with anti-slip grips for comfort and safety.
Do your hand tools meet quality standards?
Yes. All KRAFTCROME tools comply with international standards such as DIN, ISO, and ANSI, guaranteeing professional performance.
Are the tools suitable for professional workshop use?
Yes. Our hand tools are specifically designed for intensive professional use in automotive workshops, garages, and industrial environments.
Do you offer tool sets or storage solutions?
Yes. We provide complete toolkits with the most commonly used workshop tools, organized in portable cases or tool cabinets, making them convenient for both storage and mobility.
What warranty do hand tools have?
All hand tools come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects (does not cover misuse, normal wear, or modifications).
Can I order replacement tools for a set?
Yes. Individual replacement pieces from our toolkits are available, so you don’t need to replace the entire set if one tool is lost or damaged.
Do you supply ergonomic or insulated tools?
Yes. For automotive electrical work, we offer insulated tools (VDE certified) for safety when working with batteries or electrical circuits. Many tools are also designed with ergonomic grips to reduce fatigue during prolonged use.
What type of generator do I need?
At KRAFTCROME, we offer a wide range of generators (Gasoline, Gasoline Inverter, Diesel, and Solar). The basic parameters to choose a generator are:
- Fuel type, power output, voltage, and intended usage
- Size, weight, and noise level
Gasoline generator or Diesel?
Which to choose depends on fuel preference, location, usage, and weight constraints. Diesel generators tend to have lower consumption and the fuel is more economical than gasoline. In some regions, gasoline generators may be restricted—please check local regulations. Gasoline generators are generally lighter and quieter.
What power do I need in a generator?
To choose the correct model, you must know the consumption (load) of your appliances. As a guideline:
- The continuous (running) load should be around 80% of the generator’s nominal rating to avoid overload.
- The surge (starting) power must not exceed what the generator can supply.
Many inductive machines (e.g. drills, pumps, welding machines) require a surge current—this can be 2 to 3 times the running power.
Sum the wattage of all your devices plus the surge demands of inductive loads to size the generator correctly.
What voltage do I need in the generator?
Common lighting and household devices use single-phase 230 V. Industrial or heavy machinery often uses three-phase 400 V.
Select a generator matching the voltage your installation or machine uses.
What usage is the generator for?
We offer different series suited for different usage:
- Home / light-duty: occasional use, household
- Standard: light or non-intensive usage
- Rental / Professional: for intensive or continuous use
- Diesel Open / Diesel Silent: for heavy-duty industrial tasks
What is a generator Inverter?
Inverter generators have an electronic regulation system that adjusts power output to match demand. This leads to lower fuel consumption and noise. They provide a stable AC waveform (pure sine wave) with regulated voltage and frequency.
Note: Not all inverter models support heavy inductive loads—if you plan to use such machines, contact us for guidance.
What is AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator)?
AVR is a component that regulates variations of the engine, providing a stable and continuous voltage output. It helps protect sensitive electronics from voltage fluctuations. All our generator models include AVR.
What is ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch)?
An ATS is a control mechanism that triggers the generator to start automatically when it senses a power outage (loss of main supply).
The ATS panel detects the absence of main power and switches the lines accordingly.
What Warranty of generators you have?
Our standard warranty is 2 years for personal (non-professional) use, and 1 year for professional use. (Warranty terms may vary depending on country or maintenance contract.)
What oil should I use for my generator?
We recommend 4-stroke engine oil (SAE 15W-40) for gasoline or diesel engines. For 2-stroke gasoline engines requiring a mix, use 95-octane unleaded gasoline plus the proportion of 2-stroke oil as specified in the instructions.
How to choose an ATS switch panel for my generator?
First, determine whether you need single-phase (230 V) or three-phase (400 V). Then select the panel based on the amperage rating of your generator.
Examples from our models include:
- Single-phase 230 V: AC-ATS-W-50 A-1 (max 50 A), AC-ATS-W-80 A-1 (max 80 A)
- Three-phase 400 V: AC-ATS-W-25 A-3 (max 25 A), AC-ATS-W-40 A-3 (max 40 A)
