Even in the era of high technology, tools for manual repair have not lost their relevance. The need for them is still great, and modern materials and technical capabilities provide exceptional quality and reliability of such devices. One of the manufacturers of such tools is the Ombra factory. The history of this company has more than 30 years, during which it was able to become one of the most advanced factories for the production of devices for metalwork and installation works.
Manufacturer History
Ombra was founded in 1983 in Taiwan. Initially, the plant carried out the assembly of cars and their maintenance, but the company gained its popularity due to the production of hand held fitter's and assembler's tools and accessories.
The success of the company is based on a clear focus on the needs of its target audience. There is also constant monitoring of how competitors are developing. This helps the company to develop and introduce into production more advanced technologies than similar plants can offer.
This brand appeared on the Russian market quite recently, but has already managed to win the love and loyalty of many consumers because of the wide range, among which each buyer can find the perfect set of tools. In addition, the company’s loyal pricing policy is also pleasing.
Production Features
The production is based on Triple Coating technology. It is considered the foremost in the processing of tools and related equipment.
In addition, all devices are made of high-strength alloyed chrome vanadium steel, which is resistant to various influences. The ergonomic shape of the handle allows you to use tools for a long period of time and does not require special equipment.
All products of the Ombra brand are of high quality and durability. The company is so confident in its products that it offers a lifetime warranty on its products. Such a service can only boast of some similar plants and firms.
The high technology used by the company ensures the reliability of the final product, but not a single tool goes on sale until all levels of testing have passed. As a rule, the number of such checks reaches 20.
Ombra Tool Kit
Sets for fitting and installation works from the Ombra brand can be called a dream of any male motorist. Each of the tool kits presented by the manufacturer is distinguished by quality and versatility.
The Ombra 82 tool kit was especially popular among motorists. Both beginners and experienced drivers are actively using tools from this kit for repair and restoration work. Although this kit can be used for domestic purposes: construction, repair of electronics and equipment, plumbing.
Kits Benefits
The 82-piece Ombra tool kit is most sought after by service center employees and car owners. They are sold in durable cases, so these sets are convenient and easy to transport. In addition, in such a suitcase not a single item from the kit will be lost.
Each of the Ombra tools is suitable for both home and professional use. As mentioned above, a special coating layer is applied to all parts of the devices. It will allow you to keep the appearance of the instruments for a long time and protect them from any negative effects (including from aggressive chemical environment). It also facilitates and simplifies the process of caring for them.
The prices of Ombra sets distinguish them from similar sets of similar manufacturers. In addition, the diversity of the product range allows the company to simultaneously be present in different price segments and reach a large audience.
Types of sets and equipment
The universal Ombra toolkit includes:
- socket wrenches;
- hexagons;
- ratchet and screwdriver handles;
- bench hammers;
- side cutters;
- long-nose pliers;
- articulated cardan;
- set of heads;
- adapter;
- end head;
- manual hacksaw;
- various screwdrivers;
- household knife;
- 5 meter tape measure.
Each of the sets differs in the number of units in it, as evidenced by the number in the name. For example, the Ombra OMT82S tool kit consists of 82 instruments.
In the line of tools there are sets for 88, 94, 101, 131, 143 and even 150 devices. The choice depends on the purposes for which they will be applied. For professional activities, sets for 100 or more tools are more suitable. For home use, even more modest sets will be enough - for 37 or 55 devices.
The advantage of such sets is the presence in each of them of the most popular and universal tools with the necessary number of interchangeable nozzles and heads.
Rules for care and storage
Ombra kits must be looked after just like any other instrument. The key to long and faithful service of each unit in use is exclusively for its intended purpose. Do not use a knife instead of a screwdriver, and pliers instead of wire cutters. This will lead to quick damage to both the tools themselves and the repaired object.
Despite the three-layer coating of tools, it is better to store them in a dark and dry place. They also need to be protected from children, as some of the tools are quite dangerous. They are heavy and have sharp edges, which can lead to injury or other accident. Therefore, it is better to leave the tool case closed on the latch and store it in an inaccessible place.
The long presence of tools in the basement or on the balcony can adversely affect their properties and service life, so if it is impossible to store in a more suitable place, they need to be checked periodically.
