Nice review! BTW: The hammer is made by HABERO, which is part of the GEDORE-group and specialized in hammers ever since. I would use combination spanners/wrenches, not double-open ended spanners, as the "boxed" end (we Germans call it the "Ring"-end) is much gentler to the screw-head/nut AND at the same time allows more torque. True: GEDORE-tools look quite rough on the surface, but it is nothing negative. Most lowest-quality "Made-in-India" cast iron (!) wrenches are polished smooth to shine like original "Snap-On"...but in use in a situation with lubricants on the tool, the matte finish is WAY better due to the superior grip. And they don't blind You with reflecting a strong beam of light which is often used in temporary working conditions. That's why all real professional tools have it: HAZET, GEDORE; ELORA, STAHLWILLE, DOWIDAT etc. However, IMHO, STAHLWILLE has the nicest feel/touch from all matte surfaces. I worked with Snap-On on engines and farm equipment and their slipperiness and over-shiny appearance didn't appeal to me at all. Kind regards from Germany, Gereon

Mainly because of my now heavily upgraded and thus expensive as fuck *BMC Agonist 02 TWO* I started buying some ( _I think_ ) quality tools starting with a Wera 7000 1-25Nm Torq Wrench to prevent damage to the CF Frame and then pretty much stuck with Wera for everything that needs to be fastened or loosened using nuts and screws. For stuff that needed to be held in place using pliers, cut apart using cutters or prepared for electrical stuff I decided to go with Knipex starting with a Knipex Knipex 86 05 250 Pliers Wrench ( initially bought it to remove the bikes cassette using an adapter ). As for Power Tools I went with the Bosch DIY Line like my most recent purchase being a PBD 40 Bench Drill.

Hi, just watching your Tool review: first German is my native language and you have Knipex almost perfectly pronounced like it is in German, second you pronounced Dehn almost correct at the beginning of the video (ignore the sales rep) the „h“ is silent but the word will be prounounced slightly longer (like Deeen) than if it would be when written as Den or Denn (spoken short). In German an „e“ is, as you did, pronounced as in Echo or Hektor. Last thing, I have not seen the FELO yet but I do like that it does not pull off the insulation completely because I always twist the wires before soldering and here you can grab that insulation and while pulling it off twist it at the same time and you get no grease from your fingers onto the bare wire. Have to look for that tool. Have fun with „non-chinese tools“. Bernhard

A rep from Wera told me they are really good because of colours on bits and everything. He said all tools produced aroung Wuppertal are good ones but if you save money because of time finding the right coloured bit faster than the non coloured one then the coloured one will be the one you use. 3. Gedore and Stahlwille are the best choice for spanners. There are two companies that are really good with tools to. That is Würth and Proxxon Proxxon used to produce for modeling, so they have a great amount of smal tools. And Würth of course are quite good with everything but they only to btb.

GTR Guy, I'm a long-time fan, first time commenting. I've spent money on, and really enjoyed using tools based on your information. I miss the intro with the heavy metal and the smoke thing. I'm curious what a key chisel is used for. I understand that wire cutters actually fracture (solid) wire, rather than cut it; I wonder if you could expound on that sometime. Finally, I really wish you made stickers with your logo - I would buy a bunch if available. Thanks for the entertaining content
@GermanToolReviews6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comments! I got a lot of feedback that people didn't like the intro/outro and just wanted to get right into the video so I did a couple without it and no one actually said anything so I assumed that was what they wanted. A key chisel is better known as a cross-cut chisel is used to make grooves in concrete and mortar. I've always called it a key chisel because it is often used for keying mortar between bricks when re-pointing. I can look into the science of how wire cutters actually work. Cable cutters work differently than side cutters, one shears while the other deforms so it would be interesting to see those differences. I terms of stickers, swag, etc. I do have a redesigned logo that I had some stickers made, but I'm still doing some tweaks to it. I might start selling t-shirts on spreadshirt or some other platform in the future.

The German tools are expensive overseas. The Tool-Check plus is like 60 - 65 € in Germany (and I think that' expensive). There must be high customs on tools shipping them one way or the other. p. s. your pronunciation of Knipex was perfect. The Gemans don't have silent "k"s in-front of the "n". And the "e" and "i" are differently pronounced (also F, V and W). That leads to confusion. But no problem. Nobody is perfect. Wire strippers in Germany are often from Jokari, even if they are differently branded. But not this particular one from Felo. Don't know if they do that themselves. But I prefer the more expensive ones from Weidmüller or Knipex. Teflon is of course a different challenge.

Tool set might depend on your preferences and jobs, but there's a lot of things I don't understand. For example, such a love for hollow-shaft nutdrivers (they are not cheap and rarely needed), and professional wirestripper without any 1000V insulated tools for electricians. I've tried to imagine a job scenario for this set and something is always not optimal IMO. Of course, main idea is not a optimal set, but promotion, but i think sets "for plumber", "for electrician" etc. would advertise better than some set for handyman without any guess what he will really need tomorrow.
@GermanToolReviews6 жыл бұрын
It really does depend on your application. The nut drivers I find are best for dealing with hex standoffs. You run into them a lot in computer hardware, serial cables, etc. I also use them when installing nuts with a nylon insert (nyloc nuts). These are just the tools that I use the most, of course it really depends on what your professional and hobbies are that will really determine what best suits you. A plumber would probably never have a need for nut drivers.

I prefer my Klein strippers originally procured, jeez.... must be ~30-35 years ago, give or take. Don't know if they're actually Klein let alone the lineage, but they have the blue rubber (silicone?) handles and look exactly like Klein's. Family member in the Army came away with a small electronics repair kit from the 80's (likely incomplete, but a lot of nice stuff) in a _very_ nice machinists toolbox. Definitely not something you'd expect coming from the Army. Finally went through the box ~5 years ago & everything was in brand new condition. They've worked perfectly ever since. But they aren't "universal" so to speak, as you do have to pick the correct die location for whatever gage you're working with. Come to think of it, they're most likely US made unless they were procured with some kind of waiver, given the procurement rules for the US military. But whatever, they're perfect for the small electronics I work with, especially the small gage stranded wire that loves to give up a few strands when using other wire strippers. Apologies for going off topic there, but I really love these kinds of old toolbox discoveries. Now I've gotta go do some research!

You´re right! I think the words ´knipsen´ and ´knip´ have the same origin and mean the same (German and Dutch are two languages, wich are not far apart) The german word ´knipsen´ means cuts with a plier, for example wires or fingernails. You don´t use it for cutting paper for example! But I´m not an expert in languages. Also Wuppertal (the headquarter of the Knipex company) is not so far away from the Netherlands, maybe there was some kind of exchange, respectively a relationship on language level. But this is all speculation.

I'm from Belgium, 'knippen' literally translates to 'to cut'. Doesn't matter with which tool, scissor, pliers or which material. It also means to flick your fingers (the sound it makes) or something that flickers. A 'knipperlicht' is an indicator light on for instance a car :)

The 'K' is not silent in german, the 'H' is. The 'K' in Knipex is pronounced like a 'C' is pronounced in 'cake' or 'car'. Therefor your pronunciation is spot on.

:D what's the difference between someone who does know what he is talking about and someone who does not ? ... the one who knows pronounces knipex correct. Dehn is not pronounced like dean...it'S like den with a long e. But you're actually right. In america you should pronounce it like it's best for you as long as everyone knows what you mean

Dump the Spanner set and get two Knipex Pliers Wrenches, a 125 and a 250. Thats all you need and two wrenches cost about 80€.

I enjoy your videos, I was wondering if you do any reviews of C.K tools? They are a German brand I came across on Amazon, I bought some pliers and screwdrivers and I like them. I haven't heard anybodys opinion on them and no one I have shown it to has known of it. Are you aware of C.K tools?
@GermanToolReviews5 жыл бұрын
I think I might have an old CK Tools screwdriver from the 80s. I'm not sure if they still make anything in Germany, I think they are mostly a rebrander now but I could be wrong about that.

Out of felo wiha or wera, can you recommend a model with the most chemical resistance? I been looking at the 200 series felos with the striking cap or the wera komfort chisel drivers. Most of my work is automotive.

Does wera make joker wrench in SAE or 12 point SAE sockets, I'm an aircraft mech and I'm not a snap on fan.
@GermanToolReviews6 жыл бұрын
Yeah the jokers are available in SAE as well from 5/16 to 3/4" There are two combination types, one with a switchable ratcheting mechanism and the other with a ratcheting mechanism that you have to flip over to reverse. For sockets my preferred brand has been Stahlwille because they are a bit thinner and lighter than other brands. In 12 point for 3/8" drive this is the 45a series, for 1/2" drive it is the 50a series.

What do you use to strip Teflon coated wire? I've made wire strippers with old wooden clothes pegs and pencil sharpener blades. It just cuts through the insulation, but you need to remove it yourself which I do by twisting/rolling it in my fingers (it also gives multi-strand core a nice neat twist).
@GermanToolReviews6 жыл бұрын
From one person I've talked to who strips teflon wire all day, they use the cheap ones with holes for different gauges sort of like this style: www.amazon.com/Stripping-Gripping-Comfortable-Klein-Tools/dp/B00080DPNQ Said that it is the most reliable and can easily be replaced if it wears out.

Unfortunately it look like they discontinued it. I need to look into it and see why and if there is a replacement available. I definitely prefer the pouches over their standard holders.

I could put together a way bigger set for people in the USA for $1k. And they would have a much more easy time if they ever need to warranty a tool. That said, Germany makes awesome tools. I just don't see the point in buying all German.

Hazet generally has the highest prices tools so probably them if you want to compare.

What about the highest quality. I just bought some Wiha micro screw drivers and some hex bits. I know these are excellent quality. What would be some other brands available in the USA?
@GermanToolReviews6 жыл бұрын
A lot of the brands in this video would be some available in the USA: Wera, Gedore, Wiha, Knipex and Felo. Highest quality is really subjective, but I would say Knipex for Pliers, Hazet or Stahlwille for Spanners/Wrenches, Wiha or Wera for Screwdrivers, Wera for L-Keys, Gedore for hammers. For better value (lower price) take a look at Felo.
@bryanlawless18586 жыл бұрын
For sure on Knipex. I've got a few pair. I think Snap-on used to sell re-branded Knipex.

Hi All. Can anyone tell me whether you should invest in SAE or metric tools? In my job they use a mix mash of tools. They don't stick to a particular convention. I intend to buy tools for automotive use, working on a Japanese vehicle. Any answers would be appreciated.
@GermanToolReviews6 жыл бұрын
Nearly all modern cars are going to be 100% metric. Heavy trucks/equipment and aircraft almost always SAE. If you run into both at work then you really need to have both sets. Some SAE sizes you can get away with using metric sockets like 3/4", 19mm, but there are only about 5 sizes that can be interchanged like that.

German Tool Reviews Thank you so much for the speedy reply! Was holding off a purchase until I was sure of that. Fortunately these will be my personal tool and I won't need them for work. If you don't mind, perhaps you could answer a follow up question. I wanted to buy a Carolus spanner set, as well as their socket set which is quite comprehensive. They're owned by Gedore. Do you have any experience with them?

@GermanToolReviews6 жыл бұрын
I just talked to one of our assemblers who strips wire pretty much all day and he uses those cheap wire strippers with the holes for different gauges in it for Teflon (PTFE) wire. He said the automatic wire strippers are not as reliable on Teflon insulated wire. Something like this is what they use: www.amazon.com/Klein-Tools-11047-Stripper-Cutter/dp/B000I1L7GW
