In many motorsports, victory can be decided by fractions of a second gained or lost during a pit stop. Pit stops involve talented athletes and mechanics who appear to effortlessly lift a car, change tires, and refuel in the blink of an eye. It’s a lot to take in, and many people don’t even consider the complexity of the specialized tools used to service a race car.

This video explains the mechanisms and engineering behind impact wrenches (wheel guns), jacks (NASCAR style, F1 style, and air jacks), and refueling systems used across the most popular forms of motorsport. From F1 to NASCAR, INDYCAR, sports car racing, street course racing and everything in between, come learn about the amazing tools that make lightning-fast pit stops possible!
