I recommend them all. Carbide, razor blades, general scrapers. They all have a place and work well.

Exactly. Ill have to get a set of plain old Channellock pliers to have in my bag

I have the pliers wrench and jaw protectors aren’t really necessary and wood get ruined in my setting.

So I have every size of Knipex cobra. I’ve been a diesel mechanic 20 years. But now that I’m in an industrial plant setting. It’s almost like channelock work better on plastic pipe couplings and some Plumbing stuff I do. And don’t tear stuff up as bad. What’s your favorite?

Haha that’s funny haven’t heard that one. Yeah it really is something to take seriosuly in an industrial setting for sure.

lol where I work is super strict it’s not a problem

Yeah my grandfathers were milwrights. I get it. Glad we have more organized and tougher stuff now though and more comfortable to carry

You aren’t wrong there. A lot can be done with that. That’s why I’m trying to trim my bag down. We work 30-50 steps down in basements a lot. So I generally bring my bag because I’m not walking up and down every time I need something like some of the guys do. So I’m really just trying to dial...

Thank you so much! I appreciate the help. I wil say right now I’m carrying 8,10,12 inch adjustable wrenches. Do I need all 3? Prolly not lol. I’m just so used to working on trucks and having my huge toolbox right in front of me lol

like it says let’s see what you work out of every day as a industrial plant mechanic? Here’s my Milwaukee tote. Still figuring out what I wana carry and how I wana organize it.

That’s a quality Looking wrench roll wow

thanks everyone. I really appreciate the help. My truck is a f150 service truck with a topper. Being the new guy I get the old truck lol. I will make a post with my tote I’m working out of for now soon. Maybe we can get a service guy post going

Grabbed a wrench roll. And actually gonna try a square lunch pin also for my gear wrenches.

I do like those a lot. If the roll doesn’t end up working out I’ll be snagging those. Maybe the wrenches too. It’s been interesting going from a 3 bay snap on tool box as a diesel mechanic. To a tool bag and a truck working in basements at a plant lol. I love it though

Yep I have. And I use the hell out of 7/16,1/2, 9/16 , 3/4 and 15/16 and 1-1/8. So I have those in my bag and gear wrenches in the smaller sizes. I got a bucket boss wrench roll at fleet farm tonite I’m gonna try out. See if I can’t make them all fit.
