Show us your pb swiss tools!

Re: Show is your pb swiss tools!

i get paid next friday will be treating myself to a new pick set beenwanting them for so long

Notice the picks, purchased individually, are much cheaper than the set in the kit bag. Personally, the bag isn't worth $15 to me...

I'll be getting the same set of picks!

Yep, those are them.

I love the knurling on those picks.

They will be mine. Oh, yes, they will be mine.

 

[merbie]

agreed^^^

I want one of those round handled scratch awls / scriber. That is a nice looking tool.

Does anyone have any feedback on the PB Swiss Tungsten-tipped center punches?

 

[JonnyMac]

They´re awesome The tip is very sharp so you can feel the scribed lines and make exact marks. The steel seems to hold up very well.

Next time im there ill get a shot of the hex section... all the rainbows and even the gold one's! ! (Which arent actually that much more expensive than the rainbows)

I am a big fan of their acetate file handles. They add vanilla flavor to neutralize their natural smell. lol
BTW PB Swiss background: They used to be called PB Baumann.

For small drivers I still like Wiha best. They are so light and you can get little screws lightning fast in and out. Almost **** star material.

...they just released these new hex/torx t-handles:

 

[lilcraigford]

If money were no object I'd put together a set of phillips, slotted, and torx classics. My limited use of screwdrivers for the stuff I do simply doesn't justify the cost however.

 

[Botje]

I'm a big fan of PB Swiss stuff. here in Europe the price is the same as most Wera stuff and sometimes a good China made set from the DIY store is the same price...

As said many times, very good quality and ergonomics.

Only have the classis 00 to 6 flat, some PZ+Philips. Planning to complete these sets with some of the modern series.

Maybe worth asking if this website ships to the US?

(link to a set of 14 screwdrivers PB Swiss multicraft, flat 0-6, 4x Philips, 3x PZ for 76 euro, ~less than $100 last time I did the math). They also have bigger sets with Torx and Inbus too, 30 pieces for 200 euro.

Decided it was time to make a holder for their awesome taper reamer.







Some little lollipops




The rarely used 225 series stuff:

I know I am double posting but I need your opinion urgently so I can place an order for PB Swiss tonight!

May I ask you which hadle is larger for the same size? The Swissgrip or the Multicraft?

Thanks

losvre,
The swissgrip and the multicraft handles are the same size. The only difference is the multicraft are hard handles and the swissgrip is a cushioned handle.

Re: Show is your pb swiss tools!

I'd really like a set of these but the price is pretty dear...

Monte, I notice one of your picks is missing the tip, as is one of mine, even though I've barely used them. My hard used 15 year old mac picks are fully intact

 

[garfunkle24]

Does anyone have any feedback on the PB Swiss Tungsten-tipped center punches?

I have 3 sizes and love them. I broke one but it was 100% operator error. Lesson learned: Keep them nice and perpendicular to the work.

 

[franzdom]

Here are a few

Thanks for the reply gmt,

When we say cushioned, does it mean that you can squeeze them if you try hard?

I own hard plastic, wooden handle and rubber like the Bahco below but I am not sure how these Swissgrips would feel.

Do you think Swissgrip is similar to Bahco Ergo?

Great another thread to watch for (and owe a pic to)!

Was a big Wiha fan but got a PB Swiss when I needed a Pozi 2 and now I've been stocking up on the Swissgrip. Been trying to talk myself out of the slotted set.

 

[matt stott]

What 15 years of daily, hard use look like: (maybe closer to 10-12 years, now that I think about it).

(I may have replaced the holder at one point, not certain, but I do use the holder as a hammer far too often. I replaced the 3mm at some point also. Most of the chipped paint comes from using cheaters or combo wrenches on the ends. The tips are all still nearly perfect).

 

[losvre]

Hello guys,

Could someone confirm if the swissgrip handle is really soft or is just the texture/ feeling different than the CAB?

Could you actually "squeeze" the swissgrip?

Sorry to ask but I need only a few screwdrivers and cannot afford to experiment about.

Thanks

 

[franzdom]

They are still quite firm.

 

[arbormatt]

I have both the Phillips and slotted swiss grip sets. I work in an industrial metal environment. The handles get absolutely filthy and are a pain to keep clean. The slotted have the best tips I have ever used. I don't find the Phillips to be anything special.

The swiss grip handle is similar to the Bahco ergo handle in terms of handle softness. The swiss grip may have slightly more give, but not much. Also the swiss grip has no hard parts on the handle while the ergo has both hard and soft parts.

 

[losvre]

Thanks all,

I will get a couple of them with the CAB handle.

For the Philips I am thinking to go with the JIS Vessel or Anex drivers.

I have bought quite a few tools lately and will get some photos up. I am just very busy with the job and the wife��.

Have a good day

 

[hautpot]

Wow, I can not wait to buy a set of PBs!

I have finally got some items to share with you

Some comparison of the pbswiss edges to normal screwdrivers
View media item 53787

Only thing with PBswiss is that their handles are "small" compared to Vessel for the same size.

These 4 mm do make the difference when you try to torque hard
