KC Tool Haul #7: The Waiting, the Payoff, and the Hail - Gedore, Knipex, Wiha, Wera, and More!

[@MillisConstruction]

Really enjoying binging tool haul videos, love the relaxed format. My style all the way 😁

[@mrturner69]

thanks for including timestamps and links to all the products!

[@lonestarmopars]

No problem...some of this stuff people will have already bought, or seen reviewed so it allows you to navigate to the video for what is new to you, of interest, or compare my thoughts to others.

@@lonestarmopars exactly! like personally i dont care about the pens but the tweezers caught my eye, but im sure theres people who are the opposite lol

[@markiefufu]

I like carrying a pocket knife as opposed to a box cutter/utility knife too, but the new slim milwaukee folding utility knife is just as slim as a pocket knife. I also love the Milwaukee Inkzalls. Those things are great!

14:44 Ochsenkopf is the axe company. This is probaly the oldest trademark for tools in Germany which is still in use. Owned by Gedore since 20ish years.

Hi mate. That’s a nice looking knife. Hopefully it as good as it looks. I’ve got two sets of knipex vice grips 180mm and 250mm really nicely made. Also the Wera screwdriver are my favourite at the moment got them about 2 months ago. I like the look of your Wiha bit ratchet set. I will try and get one. I have the Wera tool check plus really happy with that one. Nice video 👍

[@lonestarmopars]

Yeah, this is the one I told you I had gotten. If I had a way of ordering the Knipex knife you got I'd have already done it. Knipex does have a pair similar to this one from Gedore, but with a red handle...I would have actually brought one in, but the Gedore unit was still on sale. The Impact Go Box I mentioned was introduced recently and you could get them for $19.99...it is up quite a bit in price, but still worth it.

[@benflay340]

Lone Star Mopars I’m still waiting to get the knife. The guy from Knipex I’ve been talking to said it’s now available but I can’t fine it yet I will ask in one of the wholesalers next time I visit. I remember trying to fine the Wiha go box but it was about £40 from Memory have to take a 2rd look. What is your favourite hit though screwdriver now? Them Wera are great not sure what the Wiha ones are like.

[@lonestarmopars]

2 months later and you got it, lol.

[@mrblobbbox]

I'd be interested in some toolbox tours or something 😅 nice toolhaul again 👍

[@lonestarmopars]

Thanks...I'll get around to it eventually. Will start with my old stuff first though!

[@SnabbKassa]

I didn't realise that Sharpie is another genericised trademark. There seems to be an allergy to just calling them markers, regardless of brand.

Just placed another KC Order, some items were on back order, and just got my full order in the other day. Here's my question, the Wiha Bit Socket, I tested it by placing the titanium bit of thanks into it without the set screw & had a damn of a time getting the bit out, is there some sort of magic trick to easily remove the bit? I know it has a retaining clip, but it should not be difficult to remove a bit. Please help.

[@lonestarmopars]

I've actually used them a few times without the set screw if that tells you anything. I usually use some needle nose pliers and then fulcurm off the edge of the socket. It is odd because some have come out with little issue and others require me to resort to that method. On the bright side, if you are ever using it for a dedicated bit based creation it is solid.

[@disismrc]

@@lonestarmopars TY Sir, its solid for sure. Just making sure it wasn't me lol.

[@markiefufu]

@@lonestarmopars I have a DeWalt bit holder that I have use a pair of needle nose pliers to get bits out. I've pretty much retired that one and leave a Phillips #2 in there. I now use a cheap Wera magnetic bit holder for most uses.

[@whoasked8640]

They do make long bits ;)

[@bakkencutter189]

What kind of tape measure is that? Looks like it would be easier to read and see.

[@lonestarmopars]

It is a Black Widow from Lufkin. It works really, really well for video purposes.

[@georgetek]

Thanks for the video. If I'm not mistaken, that's not torx plus. Torx plus is the blue handle. Torx plus bits are different than standard torx and are not compatible with each other. The Power handle and Soft grip appear to have the same CVM shaft. Do they look the same to you? I'm trying to decide between the two.
