    Flare-nut wrench with joint.

    Hello, has anyone seen this tool from another manufacturer besides KS? I am looking for a set, but they are quite pricey for tools made overseas.

    Re: Stahlwille adaptors Thanks for the reply. From which company are yours? The Stahlwille ones aren't impact, but I would prefer impact.

    Stahlwille adaptors Has anyone used these adaptors from Stahlwille? They are nearly half the size of standard ones. I am suspicious if they hold up as well as the standard ones.

    Stahlwille are rebranded VBW. VBW belongs to Stahlwille. I would stick to Knipex, NWS and the Austrian-made Gedore. In this order. Monte already said what I could not say better:

    I would have a Keiba but they are more than 50 Euros in Germany. For that I can buy nearly three Knipex the same size and I don't think the Keiba is three times better than a Knipex :). Nice one. What is your opinion on it? Is it that better than the predecossor?
