New Tool Purchases

[threewood]

I love getting new tools. Enough so I probably need another tool box. My newest editions. Knipex. Made in Germany. Replacing a so so Kobalt set I've had for years.

Not familiar with that brand; but being German I`m sure that they exceed my Snap-On. Waynr

Top shelf tools for sure! ruffcut

Those are high quality tools.... I know they can handle it, but stay away from live wires with them, so you don't toast them like I do with mine..... on the other hand, they might save your life someday!!

I have a set of their snap ring pliers. Nice quality for sure.

Oh. I forgot that I have Klein tools for electrical work, They hold up pretty good to cut { demo } live wires. Wayne

Knipex makes a massive selection of tools. Great stuff.

Klein tools are definitely the go to for electricians. No matter which brand you use to cut live wires , always cut them one at a time.

Klein makes good tools. I use their wire strippers.

Here is an earlier purchase. Knipex pliers. Horizontal jaws, easy to adjust and they lock onto bolt heads.

They are very handy around the house and garage. I use them enough to like them.

Menards carries Knipex. They had a 15% off all you could put in a bag. I bought a bunch.

I believe my cable cutters are Knipex. Very good. (aircraft cable that is)

Two premium brands in my opinion are Klien and Knipex.. Snap On guy sells their brand and I really think they are the same as knipex too.

I got a Klein multiple tip screwdriver for work, and it’s much nicer than the dewalt and Stanley ones I have at home. The shank is extendable to different lengths, high quality bits.

Picture of the latest tool purchased from Brewers; a dummy shaft (tube) for 4 speed assembly.
Not much to it but if it works better than the one I had that was a hair too short it will be worth it.

I bought a tool box at Harbor Freight. I have filled it with Tekton socket sets and wrenches. They are good quality for the money. I leave my Mac and Snap on tools locked in the big tool box, this keeps them safe and sound. I have been locking at rolling tool boxes for the 3 grandsons, some of the stuff at Home depot look pretty good

I hate to say it but the US General tool boxes are really nice.

Bought a couple of these for the kids for Christmas. The ratchets are very fine tooth and small sized. It comes with a bit assortment with storage in the handle.
