Yessssssss more unboxing! Love seeing your hauls so I can live vicariously.

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Please do a tool box tour and how much was the hex key socket set thank you South Africa

[@Paul57T]

Love all your videos. Thanks for being so thorough and clear

[@aarone1406]

As long as you're making these unboxing videos, I'll be watching them. I especially like the random tips and stories.

[@AutobahnDan]

Nice KC tool haul! That Stahlwille scribe looks sharp and professional!

[@erikjohansson1814]

Ah, I have the exact hex socket set made by Gedore. Using it in the heavy industry so it does see a fair bit of oils, solvents, heat and dirt. Using those with Gedore ratchet and extensions I must say the tools serve me very well. Recommended to invest in. The metal box is a plus, old school and nice to see. However I don’t use it to save some weight. Unlike you, my 12mm hex socket does see quite a bit of use along side with 10mm and 8mm. Good video 👍🏻

[@fasousa4798]

Where i live in Portugal normal domestic and industrial plumbing is imperial sizes regarding threads. The hex are always in mm either allen or regular hex. The difference in nomenclature is that sometimes its is called R type (for regular piping normally tapered - ex. R3/4) or G type (G being mainly for gas applications and parallel threads - ex. G1/2) these are the same as BSPP which are parallel and BSPT which are tapered.

[@foxwood67]

Nice haul. Makes me want to fill my KC tool cart.

[@6900pilot]

Have a hex socket set from elora. They go up to 19mm. Fantastic quality in them, we find the larger sockets great for opening drain/fill level bungs on final drives on agricultural and industrial machines. Your gedore ones look really nice..

[@jaymechanic1228]

Funny thing about those 12mm hex fittings they use those on some fiat models (500 , punto) as the oil drain plug in the sump. the the mk2 ford ka uses that engine also. It even looks the exact same thread too

[@philipp594]

You should really check out the PB Swisstools hex keys. I know you are focused on German tools, but even we germans know that these are by far the best.

[@BlindBatG34]

Dang nice tool haul. I will say, I like the look of the original Wiha drivers better.

[@integritymotorcar2334]

7 mm is very common for BMW brake caliper slider bolts, and the 9 mm, (and some 11 mm) is found on Mercedes brake caliper slider bolts. The larger sizes are often found on transmission, transfer case, and final drive drain and fill plugs.

[@fasousa4798]

I am actually surprised to see a 7 and a 9, especially a 9mm. The only time i needed a 7mm was to undo the calipers on a Alfa Romeo for brake pad replacement. Imagine the frustration after all was undone and i had no tool to remove them. A 9 i never used. 4:40 its hard to find a 12mm hex head bolt. Usually M6 is 10mm and M8 is 13mm. A suggestion is to use a tubular hex drive (those with 2 ends which are tube flared to a hex) as a 10mm is 10 on the inside but usually 12 on the outside. Thats what i used to add an extension to cap my central heating wall fittings when i removed the radiators. same as the plugs you show but 1/2 thread. I had to do it and it worked as a charm with a screwdriver through the side holes. Never bought the 12mm allen.

[@olivierf4298]

Would be nice to have a 3/8 ratchet showdown between gedore , wera , hazet and stalhwille , and socket showdown too :)

[@julianreverse]

Wera does make stainles Torx L Keys ;-)

[@randynovick7972]

I always enjoy a KCTU. It's a bit like summertime... you know that at some point the grass and trees will stop growing (maybe like your tool collection?) and winter will set in. Thanks for showing this latest update.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Would you say the grip is like a goretex type material, that would be the best way to explain the material and the feeling of them?

[@GermanToolReviews]

Hard to explain but I feels like tactile rubber. Might be the same material that they use on their regular screwdrivers but it feels a bit more grippy.

[@methylbenzodiazepine]

9mm hex fits Mercedes Benz ML350 and GL-450 front brake caliper bolts 2006-2012

[@ccmogs5757]

GTR - have you come across the brand ARNDT ? (made in germany) They do single keys up to 24mm :)

[@GermanToolReviews]

I think I might have an ARNDT hex key that i got off an Ebay lot.

[@AnanusBananus]

Actually that carbide tip will scribe any hardness of metal.. Dont need one to scribe aluminum nor aluminium.

[@washito422]

I’m sure this question has been asked but iv made 2 orders from kc tool and have never recieved the “complementary #2 bit both orders were over 50$ not complaining but I’m just curious if there is a certain money purchase limit or if there are certain items it comes with Thanks

[@GermanToolReviews]

Most of the time I get one but I can remember a couple of times I didn't. I think they run out every once and a while and need to get some more made in Germany.

[@washito422]

@@GermanToolReviews thanks so much for the response I gotcha like I said not a big deal but I was curious thanks again for the content I really enjoy it

[@BMack37]

9mm hex is in that Gedore set? I have never seen that in any set or ever seen that in the field. I have several sets of hex in sockets, T-handles, l-keys, screwdrivers and have literally never seen one.

[@erikjohansson1814]

BMack37 I have exact the same set and I can confirm it contains 9mm hex socket. Now when you mention it, I too can not recall a single time using a 9mm hex key or hex socket. Odd.

[@LukeYount]

Its there for whenever you run into a custom part made by an engineer who didn't bother google searching what sizes hex keys come in.

[@GermanToolReviews]

I don't recall ever running into a 9mm. Maybe it would make a good security screw since most people don't have a 9mm key.

[@chriscas-ToolAficionado]

@@GermanToolReviews Some sets come with a 9mm. Snap-on and Ko-ken come to mind. I use mine for some BMW caliper slide pins.

[@BMack37]

@@chriscas-ToolAficionado 9mm hex? Not a socket?

[@astrazenica7783]

Wiha is getting some shitty reviews on Amazon these days. Love the metal case on the hex drives

[@smtan24]

I have the same scribe from Facom

[@danmckevittstoolsbagels3258]

Sweet.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

That ass you have is sweet... Oh wait... WHAT!!!??
