I've never used Klein as they're not available in Europe AFAIK. Lineman pliers are not a common type of combination pliers in Europe and I assume Knipex make that model with the American customer in mind. From experience Knipex shines in some niche areas where they have innovative products, like...

They're called hemostats. Used in surgery to clamp blood vessels. You can find ones that are meant for technical use with serated jaws.

Nice organizers A Chinese knockoff, sold as "Amtech":

Heh :). As far as the price goes I see they run for 4-6 EUR a piece in the brick store where I bought them, which seems similar to what I payed 5 years ago. Mind you, it's an overpriced store in general, but I needed them right then. So you got a good value on yours. I see them listed as Gebra...

Ikea tool cabinets :) : Drawer #1: Ghetto pliers rack Piergiacomi precision electronics pliers, made in Italy: They're awesome electronics pliers, reasonably priced. They run from 10-25 EUR depending on the model. The only bad thing about them is the brand name is impossible to remember...

So apparently Jokari are the OEM for 90% of Knipex strippers and dismantling tools :)

Actually I found out they make the Wiha coax strippers as well: http://www.weicon.com/pages/en/products/stripping-tools/cable-stripper/round-cable-stripper.php Wonder if they make the same stuff for Knipex as well. But they don't look very similar.

WOW! Thanks for that. I found it odd that out of the Wiha pliers I have and see in stores only the plastic strippers are marked "Made in Germany" but the other pliers are not, which I suspect are forged in Vietnam and finished in Germany or Switzerland. Dunno if these are the same. But I...

Found at a Leroy Merlin: hmmm..... They didn't even bother to re-brand it I've had this automatic cable stripper for a while (a few years), so I'm not even sure if it had a brand name stamped when it was new. M.I Germany. Notice any similarities?

Their driver bits are actually pretty durable for the price. They're a fraction of the price of Bosch bits and they sell packs of 10. I haven't tried them in an impact driver but they do hold the edge through a lot of abuse. Shame I can only find them in Philips and not Pozi. It would have been...

Anyone know anything about this brand - Gross? I see them a lot in stores around the Balkans. If I remember correctly some of their stuff is made in Germany, some in PRC (like the hammers for example). This hacksaw is pretty good - comparable to Bahco or better: Screwdrivers are OK quality...
