What is a Mechanics Stethoscope?
A mechanic’s stethoscope is very much like a doctor’s stethoscope. Instead of being used to examine a patient’s internal noises or breathing, a mechanic’s stethoscope is used to listen to and track noises found within an engine. Typically made out of chrome-plated steel, with PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, hoses and rubber ear pieces, it can come in handy for both the professional mechanic as well as the tinkering hobbyist.
