In karting, specialized tools and measuring devices are essential for making precise adjustments and achieving optimum performance on the track. Here is an overview of common tools and measuring devices:
1. general tool
Toolbox: Contains common hand tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, Allen keys and open-end wrenches.
Torque wrench: For exact tightening of screws and nuts according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Ratchets and sockets: In various sizes, suitable for kart components.
Chain breaker: For fitting and removing chains.
Brake bleeding set: For servicing kart brakes.
Bearing puller: For removing bearings.
Tire lever: For changing kart tires.
2. specialized kart tools
Toe and camber gauge: For setting wheel angles for optimum handling.
Steering gauge: For precise checking and adjustment of the steering geometry.
Tuning tools for carburetors: Such as jet changers and air/fuel mixture testers.
Chain tensioner tool: For precise adjustment of the chain tension.
Exhaust spring pulling tool: Facilitates the fitting and removal of exhaust springs.
3. measuring devices
Tire pressure gauge: For precise control of the air pressure.
Temperature gauge: For checking tire temperatures or engine temperature (e.g. pyrometer).
Data logger: For recording telemetry data such as speed, engine speed, temperatures and driving dynamics.
Calipers and micrometers: For precise measurements of components.
4. additional tools
Transport trolley: For easy transportation of the kart in the workshop or at the track.
With these tools and measuring devices, you are well equipped in karting to professionally maintain and adjust the kart and adapt it to the track conditions.
