I found these on Mr Worker. For whatever reason, it says that they won’t ship Knipex to the United States. I can’t find them for sale anywhere. Knipex 78 61 150 Anyways… I just saw them a few minutes ago… and… I want them so bad…

Mountain was the one that a lot of us knew about first. The ICON appealed to me because of the warranty and because there is a Harbor Freight about a mile from my house.

I have the ICON ones. I got them when they had a 30 or 40% off coupon for ICON wrench sets. They have been great so far. I have both extra long ICON sets. I have the ones with fixed box on one side and ratcheting box on the other and the ones with each end is a ratcheting flex of a different...

I was using the same crowntop box, for my work box, until a couple weeks ago.

First estate sale in a couple months. It was the last day. Prices were 50% off. Snap-on 1/2”x7/16”, Wright 3/8”x9/16”, Britool 3/8”x5/16” hex bit socket, Diamond Excelite pliers, Starrett dial indicator (big . Over 2 1/2” across), 3 Roush by MAC short pattern wrenches, X-ACTO blades $10.

The Melotough looks like a Veto TP-XXL. They are the perfect toolbag for working off a Rubbermaid style cart.

Dismantling tool, 4mm Allen screwdriver, and flush cutters for work. I am working out of the Veto spring deal tier one bonus tool bag (Veto Cb-LD). I brought home a screwdriver out of my tool bag so this fits tomorrow.

I prefer the D-2000 series Klein Linesman’s and diagonals to Knipex, NWS, Snap-on… A few Keiwit jobs provide tethered Snap-on Linesman’s, and they are not as good as Klein.

I have been wanting these too. I have also been looking at the Shox, since they are allowed on some job sites. But since neither are allowed on my present job site, I think that I would prefer the iPods. My iPods are a little long in the tooth.

They have bottled 6 packs of Coke in my area. Costco has flats of bottled Coke. Not the bigger bottles from the 70’s/80’s. These are smaller. Every grocery store has bottled Coke, though.

Almost every single day. Whether a vintage or antique tool is as good as a modern tool in the same category is really the question. I use punches, chisels, hammers, files, pullers, extensions, Vise-Grips, and a lot of other tools made before I was born (early 1970’s) all the time. I have a...

I have not used mine yet. I have used the 1/4” and 3/8”, though.

I have a lot of pairs of Channellocks. The new ones are thicker. I refuse to buy those. I have so many pairs of the older/thinner ones that I really have no need to buy the newer ones. Also… they are, definitely, not as good as Knipex Cobras.

By the time they were using the grey paint, they had a pretty decent clutch. I consider the ones with bare metal on the front to be vintage. Those were wrist breakers.

Wera chiseldrivers are pretty terrific.

Witte makes really nice screwdrivers. Also… Tekton has a very easy warranty system. I haven’t had to warranty anything from them, but GJ members have been able to warranty their tools with no issues. A lot of really good suggestions have already been made in this thread. I can vouch for Klein...

I would guess that that knockoff is super expensive. I would do anything before that. I would definitely recommend figuring out the correct thread directions.

Snap-on folding Allen and Torx sets and Blue Point L-keys for staters. There were probably a few other things.

Milwaukee is part of TTI, like Ryobi and a shitload of other brands. They say that three companies produce the vast majority of cordless tools made today. I would assume TTI, Stanley and another one.

Probably a set of L keys first, so I have every option. After I know what’s up, I will use a ratchet and bit sockets or t-handles. I have folding sets, and I used to keep them in my work box… but, too many times they were too short or too bulky for a given situation. For the factory that I am...
