Had another order in from Amazon today with a couple of items to tick off the list, these along with a few other bits of kit delivered are definitely my major tool purchase of the year but it'll all be worth it as they all seem good quality. I've been buying a few nicer pieces for the home box recently to give me some options of offering work out to friends etc.. Means i can make a bit from sidework which is where the money for these tools has came from. I dont buy anything unless i've earned the money for it (Large tool box in my work is an exception there).
Couple of bits including a facom ratchet screwdriver, large wera chiseldriver set, irwin german cutters, small wera bit set and large tekton oil pliers.
Couple of new ratchets for home, a small tekton 1/4 roto-head and one of the new all metal 3/8 wera ratchets. Both are very nice and i can see that small tekton coming in handy very often.
Comparison of the wera to a facom 3/8, its a bit longer but the head is roughly the same. The wera has a nice quick release button, wide but with a low profile. Feels nice in the hand with no sharp edges.
I got the small wera bit set more out of interest really than need, its relatively tiny compared to any other ratchet i've handled but feels solid, its quick to drive screws by pressing down on the back of the bit and turning the handle, comfortable too. Tektons for a rough size.
The Irwin cutters are very nice and the hinge on them definitely helps add a bit more power to the cut, easily as good as my knipex cutters.
Bit of a one off here, its a BGS oil funnel made to fit VAG group oil cap openings. This way it holds the funnel securely and give you both hands free to pour the oil in, very nice and i've been wanting one for the house for a while now. My old catering funnel for a comparison.
Top marks to amazon and Primetools for the quick shipping.
