Love the knipex pliers. The bigger bolts on a car might be a problem, but in an industrial setting theyre just fine. Our presses have a 15/16" overpressure valve that have to clean out from time to time. Regulars pliers are a nogo with them, but the knipex ones i have are just as good as a crescent wrench.

Unfortunately, Wera has become like many previous German tool makers. Most of their manufacturing isn't German anymore. The good news is, they're still in Europe unlike "some" manufacturers (Wiha) who went straight to Southeast Asia for most of their manufacturing. At least you guys have Knipex though. You can always count on them.

The old wera tool check plus had a slide button to release the bit selection . I guess wera is cutting costs or maybe they had issues with the button design. The case also isn't the sturdiest. My case broke and I had to glue it back but the tool kit is excellent.

Some of their tools are very good professional quality. But with the jokers specifically I think I saw a Project Farm do a test on them and they were one of the weakest of spanner heads in the competition. It’s a trade-off for the mechanism.

Thanks for your comment, I wouldn't say its totally incorrect as the Wera can lock on with its jaw and the Knipex can't, however I will concede that with a little practice you can use a ratcheting motion.
@1lupus8 ай бұрын
Once you get used to the Knipex Pliers/Wrench, it is easy to use it like a ratchet. Just choose the right setting, when you apply pressure and turn the nut or bolt, let up on the pressure and ratchet back and the jaws open up and move to the position to get the next turn.

Idk how I feel about Pb Swiss they Have that Nice tip design on the Flat head/ Slotted Screwdrivers. for everything else the handle design and Construction of the screwdriver seems run of the mill Idk how I could justify spending almost 3 times the cost of the competition for a set, for these…
@CrookedSkew9 ай бұрын
Thanks for the video. I've found the PB Swiss screwdrivers and bits to be superior for gripping screws when compared with the Wera screwdrivers and bits. What I mean by that is that I can put a screw on the end of the screwdriver or bit (tip pointing up) and the PB Swiss will hold it if I turn it upside down whereas the Wera usually drops the screw. This may not happen with all Wera but it does with some of mine. I have some firsthand experience with the above. My only constructive comment on the PB Swiss is that they don't do a heavy duty version of Pozi-drive with the through handle blade and hexagonal bolster. Just a friendly heads-up that you need to fix your camera or lens as the video is washed out which is very distracting making it hard to watch.

It seems that somebody has placed a huge markup on the Hazet kit down there! In the UK, the Wera price is similar. Hazet would be 150AUD when converted. As good as both of these kits are, bit locking handles (from the same manufacturers) are inexpensive with much improved functionality.

Very nice comparison. I prefer the Hazet and Wiha brands because it tends to be more precise and compatible with Japanese bits. Also, although it wasn't included in the review; the Wiha bits and bit holders are excellent - E.g. their Centrofix line of bit holders. I would rank them above the Wera as well. I believe what makes Wera unique is their creativeness in their product line. For example, I like the Wera ratcheting handle #826T and the Wiha 1/4 inch to 4 mm adapter to use precision bits; together. That way I can use the ratcheting feature with my iFixit bits. I suppose it all has to do with what you are working on. I tend to work on electronics and computers, so my opinions for tool use is highly affected by that. However, I have also done construction and machining, so the tools I use for that tend to be more heavy duty construction and reliability.
