It’s been a while...

And you dont have to store them at the lowest setting. You can just leave them set at whatever you like.

My Precious. Wanted one for so long. Now I can finally tighten valve covers without fear of breaking something. <a href="https://ibb.co/kjxzXK"><img src="https://preview.ibb.co/mPFWez/IMG_5283.jpg" alt="IMG_5283" border="0"></a><br /><a target='_blank'

Really? To me Aussies seem more decent people than European...

Is this a really old style Stahlwille torque wrench handle? I always thought they were smooth plastic and not ribbed?... I'm asking because I can buy one for cheap, but I don't want it if it's 40 years old :D

Update: I returned them to the shop and got a new one which closes perfectly. So it definitely was a defective one. :thumbup:

So it seems it's common, but not all pliers have the gap. Confusing...

By the way, do you guys think this kind of gap is normal for high quality tools like these Knipex... Or are these pliers defective? The angled version I bought don't have a gap when it's closed...

Can’t wait to give em a try. Never really used or needed long needle nose pliers, but I guess they can be really useful!

👌🏻

I took some pics of my own pliers. I think the quality and machining are great. But decide for yourself...

Sounds like a dodgy pair.

I'm looking for a torx/Etorx socket set, but those Gedore/Hazet/Stahlwille sets are a couple of hunderds euros... So I found these two. or Anybody has ever used one of these? Proxxon or Carolus. How do they compare to the top German manufacturers?
