I see that the Wiss scissors are spring loaded so that you don't need to work to open them. If the Engineer scissors were spring loaded they would be more comfortable to use, and would likely be getting better reviews here.

Maybe, but for me it’s a matter of how the Engineer scissors just don’t fit my big hands. Everything about them feels awkward for me.

If you’re looking for a cheaper option, the Ridgid is $180 at Home Depot and (at least used to) occasionally goes on sale for $100:


Have not seen the Bosch in person to compare, but never had issues with the Ridgid

I did buy a Ridgid stand, but the Bosch saw is not a good match. It's very top heavy and almost impossible to break over center to get it set up. The Ridgid stand is light duty, better suited for a smaller fixed miter saw, IMO. Hoping the Bosch stand is engineered as well as their gravity rise table saw stand, I really like mine.
I'll move my 20+ year old 10" Makita sliding compound saw to the Rigid Stand, it's not as bulky or top heavy as the hinged Bosch compound saw. That combo will go up to the summer place in the mountains.

I also bought a Ridgid a year or two ago on a special deal day sale but have never set it up. I had bought a dewalt planer and was going to set that up on the Ridgid. My Ridgid stand came with a new ball joint for a Kia in the box. Pretty sure it was somone's return I was sent.

This is well regarded alternative to the Knipex cobra. Not a practical purchase since I have a handful of cobras, but I am one for variety, and this scratches my consumerism itch for the day. Of course it went down like $2 after I purchased 😡

according to reviews, it’s a little more ergonomic than the Cobra, the adjustment feels a little more precision (though less positions), and it does pass the Cobra stand-on-it grip test. I believe they showed it does not open as far as a cobra 180 max opening.

I don’t mean to only post Stahlwille stuff, but it is a good brand I like a lot… and for whatever reason, Amazon has been dumping lots of their inventory of it. This is not a fantastic price compared to Cobras, but it’s a good price for Stahlwille FastGrip in the USA.

Not to be a Debbie downer, but I had one of those jacks partially collapse while under my car.
The aluminum side plates bent into an s shape while suspending the vehicle.
It did not totally collapse as it bound itself up in the failure mode.

Thankfully I was not under the car, it happened as I was about to put jack stands under it.

Car weight 3800 pounds and it was on a solid concrete floor.

Just sayin....

AFAIK, trolley jacks only lift one half at a time. So 1900 lbs max. Probably less as there would be a cantilever effect at the wheels.
Edit; maybe more at the engine side, but not over the max.

I had it on the pinch weld on the passenger side. Drivers side wheels were on the ground.
Don't want to derail the thread.

Good point. I usually go for overkill.

I have been using the little 1.5 ton HF aluminum/steel jacks for about 20 years. The only issues I have had is when they do not roll while jacking, and that has happened so I watch them as I raise and lower. You cab get away with paying less attention using a 100 lb steel 3 ton jack, but I rarely drag mine out and use the little 1.5 ton aluminum jacks for quick work like wheel changes when I don’t want to bother with the lift. I do not go under the car using any jack without a safety measure like stands or at a minimum a wheel and tire.

Had a 1.5 ton steel jack fail 20+ years ago on an old barn floor that was uneven. Minor under body damage, but it was a good scare. I was not under the car. I have also seen the little jacks not roll and start to lean and that has also been a good lesson.

Being patient and careful never hurts.

Looks like a nice chunky handle and reviews say it's made in the good ol' USofA.

Ten bucks is pretty good for a Wiha wherever it's from.

Currently available again for this price. Can confirm made in the USA. Larger handle than the equivalent Klein, which may be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences. Good deal for ten bucks!

The other looks to be from Japan so probably better quality (guessing based on not much) but I ordered essentially what you linked because I drive from a further distance And usually when I want to use something like that I don't want to be driving it. 2 inches from the bolt I want to drive it 10 in from the bolt.

Edit to add that this is the one I have.

This seems ingenious to me. Thinking hard about this tool. Probably wouldn’t need it often, but when you do….

This is a fantastic tool and excellent quality from Japan. I’ve used mine a few times and really abused it once and have been very impressed.
