    Tools from the old world

    Just got a new pair of Knipex 2616200 Long nose pliers with the updated VD handles. The new handles are great. Close to NWS handles. They are a fraction thicker than the old ones and have a little give to them, making them feel very comfortable. Can really reccomend the updated ones First...

    Wera screwdriver bits (wood, metal, etc)

    For general use I would think the "Wood" ones. I use them and have never run into any DIY situation that has hurt them. They look good aswell. For constant driving of fasteners into or out of metal, say aircraft screws, id use the "Metal" bits I have some of each, but as ive said I have...

    Wera screwdriver bits (wood, metal, etc)

    The "Wood" bits are harder but more brittle. The "Metal" ones have a little give in them so they dont shatter when too much force is applied All round exelent bits. Very nicely made with perfect fit.

    Tools from the old world

    Did you get it from RS ? All 3 I ordered had the shear hole. Sticker on the packaging says "NEW shears M3,5 screws", so I guess its a new feature. Also got a pair of NWS cutters that have the shear

    Square female to Female socket or adaptor ?

    I need to drive a square pin with a socket or socket extension bar and a ratchet. Basically the square female side of a 3/8" socket extension bar fits perfectly, but that leaves me with the male 3/8" end and no way to connect a ratchet to it. Does any manufacturer make something like a 3/8"...

    Tools from the old world

    Trying to decide between Chrome palted KNIPEX long nose pliers ( 26 16 200 ) or Polished head KNIPEX long nose pliers ( 26 18 200 ) Only difference seems to be Chrome plating and price :dunno:

    DeWalt Goggles

    I tried a pair of Dewalt Goggles one, but they dont seal well around the nose. I have also read reviews where others have complained about them not sealing. the rubber seal seems to sit a bit away from your face there and allows stuff in. Now using UVEX or Bolle Goggles that seal great
