chassis grease gun;
hydrometer for checking battery;
oil drain container;
rag for removing dirt.

The basic list of adjustment equipment may include:

tachometer;
spark plug wrench;
pampa (stroboscope) to check the ignition timing (it is best to purchase a DC lamp that can be connected to the car battery);
spark plug adjustment device/tool;
kit for measuring and adjusting gaps.

In addition, there are a number of other tools and devices that may be needed when repairing a car. These include:

compression measuring device;
