I have and use all these tools everyday and adding a wera zyclops ratchet and wera storageto go systems would be great addition ,and (japanese) Engineer screw pliers
I’m an oil burner guy and a wiha 12 in 1 with the one Robinson bit replaced with a t25 and t20 bit to fit riellos and pumps. Great for quick calls along with my adjustable with ratchet end
Great content. Just a comment, KNIPEX is pronounced Knee – pecs
If you need more torque on the TCP than the tiny screwdriver provides u cant use the ratchet…theres no top pressure. Its a toy.
The only guy I’ve seen that uses imperial tools
My German branded tool obsession began in December, when I asked for a metric tool check plus for Christmas. Then, a few months later, I purchased a 5" knipex pliers wrench, then a 7", then the 6" & 5" cobra combo with carrying pouch. Now I’m waiting on 7" cobras and a wera kraftform kompakt 25. I blame these videos for helping to fuel my addiction.
Is the comfort grip worth the extra money?
Beat coments but no PART NUMBER CODE for each tool please
Ok just an observation now I’ve been going down this tool rabbit hole on the YT these last few days and one thing seems to be a constant cookie cutter themes flannel shirt facial hair trucker cap well manicured setups and yeah white (predominantly) it’s very tv shopping network 😂 I suppose that algorithm aye.
Great Vid
Contractor/construction tools needed is so much different then auto or diesel but somehow similar. Yes my hand tools are the best of the best, yes my toolbox cost more then I’d like to talk about. But everyone needs the basics. Screwdrivers, torx bits/sockets/keys, hex bits/sockets/keys, ratchets, metric and standard sockets, drill and bits, pliers, wrenches, pry bars or crow bars/cats paw, etc, And somewhere to keep the tools. And they better be good if you wanna buy once
Hell yeah. great job on the video and keeping simple.
Stabila Pocket Pro is a hidden gem
Really great video. Everything was so well explained and very informative. As it is, I am just looking at purchasing a few Knipex Tools that I have my eye on. I really appreciated learning about this brand of tools and having some of their features highlighted. Thanks so much.
great video, very helpful to buy a good set of tools. Thank you.
Great video & well explained 👍
Want to add a nice small versatile ratchet set? https://youtu.be/hKJ3yUqEeM4 check out this video where we discuss the 1/4” drive Wera Zyklop kit! Remember to Subscribe for more awesome tool content!
Nice
*Knipex and Wera – perfect tools!*
consider also the smaler wrenches from Knipex. Most versatile the 21cm
My 3 favorite : wera zyklop, wiha tricut, vamplier
So this is a paid promotion with brand-new tools any reviews on these tools after they’ve been used for awhile?
I’m hooked on your videos great job. Quality edits and sound. Thanks
Thank you for the tips my friend! I got those wera keys and a veto full of knipex. I picked up some tsunoda pliers recently. Really high quality for decent prices and japanese made.
advertising 101………….name the product, name the product, name the product
Your videos are the absolute best! Soooo informative 👍
Agree with the ratcheting screwdriver! Use it all the time!!
please, the k is slient. its Nipex, not Keh-Nipex.
I have 3/8" Kamasa socket set which fits my Milwaukee 3/8" M12 driver, and a Tengtools 1/4" sockets set with allen, torx, philips etc that also fits the Milwaukee 3/8"…..
really nice video!
I dont like the tool check plus. Its all too random. Only imperial or only metric. Lots of skips. This is good in theory and not as useful in practice.
Wish you could get the wera tool check plus and just add on the imperial sockets without buying the entire additional kit..
I recommend basic tools for renovation and DIY: tape measure, water level, saw, utility knife, hammer, nipper pliers, paint brush & paint roller, wall paper brush,
as your rooms floor, walls & ceiling need renovation after several years.
I think everyone needs these basic tools before before the here shown machine oriented tools required for bike, car, house installation and appliances.
What about PB Swiss Tools?
Isn’t Wera made in Asia???
I can do without the pliers wrench though $60.00 or more for a pliers wrench is to expensive I’m fine with just adjustable wrenches been using them my whole life.
Watching this guy is as addictive as buying Wera tools. This is a great bundle to get going.
I understand the draw to the cobras but the alligators open quite a bit more. I’m an alligator guy myself because of this and I don’t think people realize how much better the cobras are without that stupid button. Either way, I bet comparing the 2 would be a viral sensation. Thanks for the videos.
Good chois. I had the tocheck plus in the sidepocet of my cargo trouser, but now i switched to the zyclob set in the softbag wich also fits in the spot. Aditonal I’m fan of the pockets rom toughbuild with their clip system.
Excellent – already got the Wera ratchet screwdriver, now just need to get the rest! 👌
Guess what guys,Europeans make top quality tools.Please look and search other then "made in usa" tools that do make some good tools but snap-on for the price is ridiculous.Milwaukee im a big fan of and klein drifts as im a steel erector.Podgers (spud wrench) has to be king dick 🇬🇧.Wera im a big fan of their quality is unmatched.
First time viewer. Subscribed! Excellent job – thank you!
Phack, EDC and being a mechanic is so expensive. I’m gonna be broke real soon.
Man you don’t pronounce the k in knipex
Best tin snips?
Ok have I been saying “Knipex” completely wrong for years?
Kc Tool is awesome!
Am also addicted to quality tools my mct back it’s about 2k lol.
Love the channel! One question I have — is it worth having the ratcheting screwdriver, or would a standard multibit driver work instead? I have the Wera with the rapidapter already and don’t know if it’s worth the change. Thanks!
I have the knipex cobras but man they just don’t do the job like my channel locks do. I was upset cause I was expecting them to be really good but I do a lot of plumbing where I tighten galvanized pipe so maybe I’m just using them wrong.
Hi iam from Germany, and this are all german high professional tool and they will last your normal lifetime use. Geat setup to start with.
At 50 I had got so set in my ways and my tools! I was so use to what I had used for years.The ole "it works so why replace it attitude" Thanks to your videos and following the Handyman FB group I started investing in some of these newer hand tools and Im blown away by how much I can enjoy using something as simple as a newer pair of quality pliers.Thanks for the videos Josef!
4 of 5 are already in my repertory : )
