    Knipex Electrician’s Shears

    I've used these for several years on various projects up to 1ga welding wire. I'd pick these anyday over the 2ft long cable cutters. FWIW, the Menards $2 blue pair are not comparable at all. The Performance Tool(?) $6 pair from the farm store seems to be closer, but havent used them a lot.

    Looking for harness tape

    I just got some of the Tesa from Waytek. Havent used it yet but it looks to be the same as what I see on factory John Deere harnesses. That Amazon price is cheaper than what I ordered.

    Tool return causes amnesia!

    I prefer they leave it on top of the box. If I see it I'll know its returned. Also keeps them from looking through the box to find the right drawer, and seeing what else you have that they can borrow next time.

    Has anyone ever seen one of these-Vintage Facom tool cart

    That's a neat little cart. I've been wanting to mount my top box on a short rolling cart so when working on a lawnmower I can do everything without getting up from my rolling seat. Lazy? Maybe.

    Some old craftsman questions

    I believe I have similar patterned sidecutters that are parked "Channellock". They're pretty dull, I use them for cutting thorn bushes while mushroom hunting now.

    School me on crimpers

    I use the Snap On ones already posted. But I have seen the same ones cheaper at Napa, around $20. As far as the cheaper crimpers, I always disliked them for the same reasons as already posted, the cutter or crimper was always between the handle. I had a pair of yellow handled Stanley ones...
