ok if they warranty files forever thats a good deal...
Monte made a video about Wiha Inomic pliers more than three years ago:
Another guy took them apart and was not amused about them:
http://nixlogy.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/wiha-inomic-totally-useless-useless/
They have changed the design of the head for both Inomic and Inomic VDE.
I had tried them out in a Hornbach an they fit my hand very well.
Are they any good?

Got a mixture of COOs today.
I use the **** out of the 250mm cobra so I bought another one with the newer style comfort grips. Also got the hose clamp pliers.

I'd toss that in the scrap heap and roll my own.

There are missing some parts like the table top and drawer(s).
Are you gonna restore it?
Yes, that is true. I have an ErgoCombi, as they are called in Germany, myself.
They are over-engineered, or how should I put it, german-engineered
Due to its bulky head I also bought the angled combination plier 8248-160 JC from Gedore so I could work in tiny areas.
(I don't have a picture of my own Gedore as I am currently 200km away from home at work).
But Wiha and Orbis are the only ones which have a long nose plier with the angled design which I like because of the NWS.
As I can't find Orbis near me (I emailed them and they said that they don't sell tools to a single person) I thought I might try the Wiha which is quite expensive.
This is a tool from my boss. Do you guys what this Moby **** is?

All the Gedore pliers are made in their Austrian plant. They are great quality just very pricey compared to Knipex and NWS.
For diagonal pliers I actually prefer the pistol grip versions to the angled head ones. They have longer reach and higher clamping torque. These Snap on ones are great.

Einhell is a budget brand. Better try a Bosch.

Hmm, look like the tool I needed when I replaced the suspension on Mk2.
Do you have a complete picture by chance? What tool panel does it have on the back?
Looks pretty old.....no spindle lock button
26.- bucks for a used Einhell grinder ????? sorry i don´t know........a new one only cost 23.-....

i dunno who the oem was - i guess somebody in China.
.....
the minimum quality i would buy would be Bosch Green.....
...
however if Einhell then from their professional line....

PB Swiss is good stuff but Wiha is my pick for screwdrivers. Microfinish whenever possible. Soft finish for the rest.
These are just some of mine. I have a few other drawers full of them and just placed a $1200 order with them yesterday.

Use the PB labled as "Garant" at work, pretty good, for me its a race between Wera and PB but I like the Wihas either. I have to choose atm between the two.
Best tips IMHO, and either the Swissgrip or Multicraft handles are comfortable, particularly for larger hands (classics are smaller diameter grips). Also, the acetate handles are easier to keep clean than the Santoprene used in the Swissgrips IMHO.
Rather expensive though, so I only use a basic set for the most used drivers and Wiha for everything else (Wiha is my first choice for precision screwdrivers used in electronics work).

When I was looking to upgrade screwdrivers from craftsman pro, I ordered a ph2 in each of these brands: Felo Ergonic, Felo 550, Wiha microfinish regular, and a wera chiseldriver. Before using them I expected to love the Ergonic, the Wiha felt cheap because it was a standard microfinish, and I assumed I would come to like the chisel driver because everyone raved about them.
After using them a bit I felt the Ergonic was actually way too soft and caused my hands to cramp up. The 550 handle was too small for my hands. The Wera handle requires you to hold it differently than many others in order to be comfortable and productive. I didn't like how you had to hold it, wasn't my cup of tea but I will say the tip was very high quality. The Wiha surprised me, despite being the cheapest price wise and feeling very cheap, I fell in love with the design of the handle. It doesn't look like much but It was the perfect size and shape. The two was very high quality and I really liked the microfinish.
I ended up buying the large set of extra heavy duty Microfinish Wihas. These have a hex shaft that goes through the handle to the metal striking cap. They feel much more high quality than the standard ones simply because of the added weight. The tips have held up great although I did break one slotted tip by getting too carried away using it as a pry bar. The microfinish has worn down on some of my most used drivers. It's not as grippy now but still has a nice finish IMO.
Every person is different and if you are looking to make a big change get, I suggest doing what I did and ordering the same driver from various manufacturers and test them out to see which one you like best. I didn't care for the Wera, but it could be the godsend you are looking for. Screwdrivers don't seem like a huge investment but it really adds up over time. Also look into what each OEM offers. One of the things I like about Wiha is their massive selection of screwdrivers. Price wise they are not bad. Cheaper than truck brands.
Brands to consider:
Wiha
Wera
Felo
Witte
Beta
PB Swiss
And there's probably a few it here I'm missing that someone will suggest. Don't forget service too. If it's a brand that is never in stock that can be a headache. Wiha is based in Minnesota for their NA warehouse and their service has been pretty good IMO.
Good luck.
