Reread description. It says a custom assembled set. In any case that is the only thing I can find about them on the net. Seth

Maybe I missed it on GJ. I spotted a new version of the 915 (14 - 15" ) needle nose. It is in the Master Needle Nose set. Not sure if it is a real set or a seller assembled set? 915CF instead of 915CP. Has the flat style handles / shaft of the rest of the line such as 911CF. Can't find it...

It depends on the case layout and how I plan to store the tools. I kept my basic GW cases and use them opened in a drawer. I removed the lids. This type of usage always works better if the lids don't hold any tools. Lid held tools end up using more space due to them needing retention. The 1/4"...

That is still the case on the 250 length Cobolt, still plastic dipped only. Interestingly there are two models of the 250. Look the same but one is 10 grams heavier and has a little bit higher cut capacity rating. 71 31 250 (heavier, higher) and 71 01 250. Something to note when shopping for...

Sooo, umm, it goes up to 37 + . Awesome! (y) :) The vid was worth watching just for the laugh. How about using it on a shopvac and comparing the reading to the manufacturers stated cfm? Seth

I live across the road from the Tekton factory :rolleyes: Perhaps I was a bit too literal in my original statement? When I said "produced by Tekton" . Lets call that the general "produced by" as opposed to the specific "produced by". This is what the Tekton site says "Our angle head...

Yup, those are the older Tekton. Which are and have been branded under quite few names. They are also 15/60 degree. The new Tektons are actually produced by Tekton and they are also 30/60 degree giving even more angle options when combined with standard 15 degree open end wrenches. Seth

Because the adjustment notches / indents / grooves may not allow for a size opening that keeps the jaws truly parallel when gripping the nut. The pliers wrench allows for full surface contact across the flats regardless. Yes, a wrench could be used but sometimes the PL is better. In the...

Here starting at 1:10. This guy shows and explains the difference. Seth

It has been said already in this topic but here is a different description. The Pliers Wrench jaws are / stay / remain parallel throughout the open and close movement. Because they don't pivot from the back of the jaw. The jaws slide open and shut. Not talking about the adjustment of the...

Hmm, lots of interesting options besides the Powerbuilt set that I posted. I was curious about the Powerbuilt because it almost seems that the twist might actual just ream the socket head out even more. Seth

How well do the MAC work? Seth

Anybody have these? Do they work? Limited reviews on UT. https://www.powerbuilt.com/collections/hex-torx-keys-and-sockets-1/products/8-piece-zeon-metric-hex-bit-socket-set-for-damaged-bolts-1 Thanks, Seth

The most notable feature that makes them not like "channellocks" is that when opening / closing the jaws stay parallel. They don't pivot open / closed. So they can really be used to turn nuts, bolts and such. They are also great for bending flat stuff such as sheet metal. Seth

Here are some comparison pictures that I took a while ago for someone else. Should also be noted that the Knipex comfort grips are not soft, mushy, grippy material. First two are Knipex 160 length next to Snap On 97cf (9"). Third pic is 200 length Cobolt next to SO 10" slip joint...

I have a mix of both and chose depending on the particular pliers. I like both just depends on the use. I think you need to try them to really know. For me ------------------- Cobolts, Diagonal Cutters, needle nose, flat nose ------------- Comfort grips. Cobra, Pliers Wrench...

Some interesting tools and nice stuff on that MP site! :) Seth

The most recent (maybe five years ago) Channellock slip joint pliers (546,548, + another 6" model) that I bought have all had the teeth wear extremely fast. Just a few uses on something made of metal. But I think they are all now discontinued models. For homeowner toolbox I think the must...

Just a note for those thinking about the Knipex ...................... the hex ones are excellent! I ordered them from amazon . de at a significant savings. Seth

Got a link or product # for the Knipex? Seth
