    Since Facom acquired the Bost factory in France all pliers and screwdrivers are made there. You can find also cheap stanley branded pliers and screwdrivers of the fatmax series and they are the same, minus the handles.

    Well, if you are torquing with a swivel and it is at an angle ( misaligned) not all the torque is transmitted to the plug, some gets reacted sideways.

    Looking for heavy duty 8” needle nose pliers. Recommendations please.

    The only ones I know of are Knipex 7302160 .Not large enough at 6.2 inches though (edit ; not that it matters, as they aren't needlenose)

    Looking for heavy duty 8” needle nose pliers. Recommendations please.

    Yes, knipex has some box joints, in precision cutters and really small pliers. And also the pliers wrench. I guess the twin grip and the pliers wrench wouldn't work if they were lap joints

    Looking for heavy duty 8” needle nose pliers. Recommendations please.

    A box joint is better, but these aren't box joints are they? I havent seen a box joint in a nose needle plier, only in combi pliers

    Ratcheting Wrenches - quality levels?

    You didn't ask me but definitely the backdrag isn't low. I'd say medium. High backdrag I consider a wurth bit driver that you must hold the bit in the unsrewing because it screws back in! Low backdrag I consider koken
