@Monte going French I see 😉

I agree with you about KoKen being one of the best tool brands and it sits within my top 3 favorites easily.

Interestingly, Snap-On in this era sold a kit to combine two of these boxes into a bench. The kits are probably long gone, but you may find one for sale as such. It’s a great box, enjoy it.

@Monte Thank you Monte! I will do it because of you. 🇩🇪🍻

This scan tool will do nothing for your model year vehicle, unless it’s a wild retro build with completely new motor, electrical harnesses, and an ECU / PCM, which I am guessing it is not. Please read about On Board Diagnostics and when such systems were federally mandated (beginning in 1996...

Excellent post, @Dave455 I like the smell of the PB Swiss CAB screwdrivers and own many. This is the standard you will find in every Swiss workshop and easily the most common. Many having been turning fasteners for over 30+ years.

This is my issue with the Koken ratchet handles, they are too small for my hands. The screwdrivers from Vessel are perfect, same with PB Swiss. The Vessel wood composite handle screwdrivers are TOUGH. The PB Swiss seem more refined, but the tip profiles on Vessel I do prefer to PB Swiss.

@Monte Aren’t there small German companies that specialize in screwdrivers only?

For stainless fasteners, yes.

I do like the Wera stainless screwdrivers with laser cut tips.
