Like all things tools, sometimes you get an itch to buy something...just because. So it has been for me with NWS combination pliers. I was trying to find the matte chrome(finish 49 I believe) with those neat looking yellow and black grips. Well Chadstoolbox and NWS themselves list them as out of...

Gents, this is not really a brand vs brand thread. I intend to buy one or two drivers of several brands in an attempt to determine grip size and how it fits me. I have Klein covered in multiple handle sizes and a few Wiha models so that should be covered too. I want to try Wera which is...

Gents, I really need to source a decent set of 1/4 inch drive insert bits. I am open to brands but do admit to some PB Swiss envy for the insert bits. Wera and Wiha seem to have a pretty stellar reputation in this department as well. I have used DeWalt, Milwaukee, and other store brands both...

Gents, after a few false starts I am determined to grab up a few top quality precision pliers and cutters. We have had a few good threads here on the forums(including one I started a few years ago) and had some great suggestions offered. I would really like to source the Schmitz-Zanger brand...

Gents, after using chromed Knipex pliers and a couple of fully polished ones I would lime to try this on some others I own. Anyone tried this? What did you use?

Gents, I bagged a pair of Klein D314-8 long reach, long nose pliers from HMC Electronics. Klein discontinued these about a year ago and I have needed a replacement pair for awhile. HMC was closing them out for $8.24. Carriage was $10 so eighteen dollars and change is still four to ten dollars...

I have been considering the purchase of some tweezers and scissors/shears. I think they would make a handy bit of kit to add to the toolbag. I immediately thowught of Klein's 'electricians scissors' and maybe some of the Knipex tweezers. Heck, they even manufacture insulated models! Some of...

Good afternoon gents. I hope this is not a redundant post. A basic search at GJ turned up no hits so I thought I would post some photos and a link to some crazy good Adam Savage(Mythbusters) tool originisation and a unique, hand made toolbox. I never realised how extensive his career in FX was...

Good afternoon chaps. I have taken quite an interest in PB Swiss multi-bit screwdrivers and their C6 insert bits as well. In no small part because of Monte's great photos of the C6 bits in those carrying cases. By all accounts the C6 bits are as well made as any brand out there. What I am...

Evening lads. I am up against it with my long nose pliers. I have carried a pair of Klein D314-8 Long Reach Long Nose pliers for over ten years. I love these things. They are eight inches in length but have a short nose of less than two inches and no cutter. And have the slimmest of handles...

Good day gents. Sorry for the somewhat repeat post but man, things go really quickly on this forum. I am looking at these briefcase styled hard shell tool cases for work. Precision and insulated tools would be their content. I am more than willing to look at our own American brands but I am...

Good evening gents. I have been thinking about portable storage for insulated and precision tools. I really am not too impressed with most soft sided tool bags for this purpose or in general for that matter. The pockets are almost always too short and things fall out or in the case of bags...

Good afternoon lads. I am compiling a small list of precision pliers and cutters and would like some feedback on which style of jaws and cutters would be a good compromise for my needs. First I should clarify "precision" as it applies to my work. It is primarily commercial and industrial...

Evening chaps. As you see from the title of the post, I am interested in a new tool bag. I am an electrician by trade and so have the usual assortment of pliers, screwdrivers, nut drivers, etc. that most use for the trade. My needs go more toward tool containment and orginisation than bulkier...

Good morning gents. I found your forum whilst searching for information about precision screwdrivers. I used the search function and found some very nice threads about the very topic. I still need opinions about certain aspects of precision sized screwdrivers. I am an industrial maintenance...
