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

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
@GermanToolReviews7 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 :)

I like German stuff .Bought stihlwalle molegrips 28 quid ..Oooh expensive but will be used by my kids .Don't mess about .pay the extra .Estwing. leatherman .Sheffield steel. Buy good name stuff .False economy not to. Shell out the cash and enjoy your working day lads.Ps mark them with an engraver .Lend and lose a friend .If assholes want to borrow they should not be on the job if under equipped. Avoid Chinese crap.ps good to see somebody pointing out decent tools and the reason behind buying quality.

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.

Do any of the driver sets have JIS bits? On my Honda motorcycle I have found they produce much less rounding, but I realize Germans may not have much use for JIS.

Nice opinions of quality German tools, but the talking hands are always covering or moving the tools so they are continuously hard to see and evaluate. Show all sides of the tool, set them down with no hands visible, pick up tool and show how it works or moves, then set tool down and remove hands from frame. Just suggesting.

: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

I'm from the USA, and you're spot on. THat said, due to the heavy imports from China in the past several decades, I'm fairly confident that the USA will come around and start using the metric system more frequently, if not exclusively, soon enough.

I disagree, the size of 1 inch (2.5 cm) 1 foot (30.5 cm) and 1 yard (91 cm) are better sized intervals for measuring in practical on site construction applications. The metric units of measure are too small (cm/mm) with the jump to meters being too large. Adding fractions isn't difficult either you just convert inches into feet (1" = .083')

This type of wire strippers is not adequate for PTFE-insulation (Teflon is the trademark for PTFE of the manufacturer DuPont). For PTFE you should use these ones: www.knipex.com/index.php?id=1216&L=1&page=group_detail&parentID=1363&groupID=1379 Or you can remove it thermically, this was done decades ago with special tools. But you must have a good ventilation, the vapors of the thermal decomposition of PTFE are toxic.

Thanks! I've seen them use something similar at work, but I can't remember who made it, I believe they were made in Sweden though.
