Description by New Video Group:

The key to winning a NASCAR race is a lightning-fast pit stop. And for this, high-tech mechanic tools are crucial: the hydraulic jack, the impact wrench, and a good set of socket wrenches.

MECHANIC'S TOOLS offers a detailed survey of these must-have tools and reveals the secret weapons of racing, including 1,000-piece socket sets, Sawzalls® that rip metal, and a specialized tape that binds even at soaring speeds. Next, CHAINSAW traces the evolution of one of the world's most powerful tools, from its original half-ton manifestation to the newest innovations. The tour includes a visit to a modern chainsaw factory and a glimpse into the future with the Timco 820, which can harvest seven acres of trees in a single day.

Together for the first time, these fascinating TOOLBOX programs showcase some of the world's most essential tools.
