which size Knipex is most useful for automotive applications?
Yes, the thinner open-ends on those Stahlwille wrenches is handy. Exact reason why I have one 19/32" (I use it as a 15mm) Stahlwille wrench in the brake service drawer…for holding those slide pins.
Star-Willie is the correct pronunciation..
Stahlwille make some of the finest wrenches on the market!! Big fan!!
Knipex pliers wrench is a must definitely like that new design!
Sir very nice tools but you need to get some Gedore tools đź‘Ť
Just a comment on Knipex vs Knipex off the tool truck such as Matco. When you wear out the tool, if you bought it from Knipex you get tot buy it again as they do not cover normal wear and tear. If you bought it from Matco they will warranty it. Are you paying the tool truck tax, yes. I use my Knipex Cobra pliers a lot and wear them out and my Matco guy gives me a new pair. Well worth the tool truck premium IMO.
I think it is pronounced (K)nipex like (K)nife with a silent K. unless you prefer kernipex and kernife lol. Thanks for posting good info again.
Yet another great video I have found in your library. I enjoy the variety of topics that you share with your audience. I’m definitely going to check out HFG. I did price some of the Ko-Ken products little pricey but maybe that’s because those are the items being sold in the states may have to go to Amazon Japan or is there another site for Ko-Ken that you would suggest? The Germans have always made good Precision products. Working on their cars is a whole other story LOL
Knipex is damned hard to beat when it comes to pliers
nice !
Nice haul as usual.
I have the wera 1/4 hex bit ratchet. Can’t say exactly but the wera looks a lot smaller so it will fit in very tight places, I guess the hazet is better quality as the wera after some use has become considerably more wobbly. Wera is not made in Germany, Hazet is.
I’ve been very satisfied with kc tool and they warranty the tools last I knew Amazon and internet doesn’t warranty tools
I did a price comparison on several typical German products the WINNER – HFG $ 1,412 USD Amazon.DE $ 1.650 USD and KC tools $ 2,131, shipping would be more from HFG to Canada, In a separate test HAZET 179NXL Tool trolley, HFG $ 2,143 KC tools $ 3,541. $ 1400 more at KC
I like the knipex plier wrench, only thing is I wish they made one with the jaws in line with the handle and not on an angle. I’ve had those pliers for over 20 yrs, all three sizes 🙂
I’m interested in your opinion of the German wrenches after you’ve been using them for a while.
I prefer them but I grew up using them and the thin I-beam style is my go-to. The Stahlwille fit around a bolt or nut is very tight, too. Love it,
Colleagues that I’ve lent them to are mixed about them tho. For the light assembly and disassembly jobs they get good feedback but the guys that like to gorilla on a wrench say the thin German one cuts into their hand in a way the fatter US ones don’t. To a man, though, they say the fit of a Stahlwille on a nut/bolt is peerless.
Went ahead and ordered that Hazet bit ratchet from JensPutzier.com (a cool German family business and authorized dealer).
Awesome quality and bit retention. Update: ended up ordering the wrenches too. Was looking at a set of thin wrenches in metric & when I saw how thin those Stahlwille wrenches were, at the sale price from Handtools-From-Germany, could not pass them up either!
So thank you for showcasing both!!
handtools-from-germany beats hone-despot on Knipex pricing !? That’s a deep discount link on the new 250mm/10inch wrench pliers!
What kind of fastener is that bit used for in your ratchet at 9:22?
Hi MrSubaru1387 – can you do review on Hazet German wrenches to the Stahlwille ones?
That’s a nice recessed design on the bit holder on that bit ratchet.
Done
You made a good choice – as always 👌🏻
Hello Mr Subaru Merry Christmas. Joe Auto Electric is facing some challenges and Jim The Car guy is having a meet up fundraisers at 7:30
Sweet! Love all of them, the pliers look really handy and well made. I would have killed for that hazet ratchet when trying to change out my vent mode door under the dash. So little space, but got it done it the end
just a short comment on the video, in Europe all the big brands of hand tools (hazet, gedore, proxxon, unior, usag,…) are matte finish, and the cheaper and poor quality ones are shiny chrome
Hi Mr Subaru , I was wondering if you had ever fixed a 2008 Wrx MT with a code of P0021 and P0011

The Germans make excellent hand tools. I have a 1/4” drive socket set that I picked up at ALDI’s for $14.99 about 5 years ago. Everything in the set is made in Germany. The ratchet has replaceable internal parts, all the chrome is matte finished and everything always fits and works perfectly. Amazing quality for $15.00!
Good stuff thanks for posting & Merry Christmas!
