Knipex sells soft sleeves to go over their cobra pliers. More versatile and much less expensive.

It's under the Shop menu.

Clearly you've found a use for cordless tools then, Know. Why else buy them?

A set of Wera screwdrivers and a Knipex pliers wrench.

I'm set for tools. I'd use it to buy tools for my friends.

Eric, the tools arrived today (speedy!). First, thanks for sending them. Second, here's my honest reviews: The All-in-one PC Driver is similar to Klein's 6-in-1 tool, although with a selection aimed at computer repair. Three nut drivers (5mm, 1/4", 5/16"), a T15 Torx for "name brand" PCs, a #1...

I'm not seeing a link for a store, or any pricing?

This is great! I love reading all these stories. Thanks for sharing!

According to Antiques Roadshow, an item must be 100 years or older to be an "antique," although some specific items (such as firearms, which are governed by law) have different definitions. "Vintage" can mean anything. I myself just recently purchased a pair of Klein linesman from 1930. I've...

Since I'm apparently the only Apple guy here, I'll chime in: Apple Remote Desktop TextWrangler TeamViewer Console (old-school UNIX Terminal) Wireshark LANScan Pro Wi-spy Channelizer Plus the standard system stuff, Network Utility, Directory Utility, Terminal, etc.

Thanks, Eric! That's very nice of you. :)

Ooh! Fun thread. I'll have to post pictures of my IT tool bag. I'm not a systems admin, but as a roving consultant I have to wear a lot of hats. Everything from software troubleshooting and training to network installation and optimization.

When it comes to screwdrivers and the like, Wiha can't be beat. Great stuff. Welcome to the premium tool buying club. Your best bet is to buy a shredder and empty your wallet into it.
