Long time viewer, and have become the 'go-to' guy at work when someone needs some tool. I've had this about a year and a half, nd it is a work of art. Its been useful many times. Last week my boss needed a flathead to loosen a set screw in an ancient paper sizing micrometer. The Hotu twisted and bent like overcooked piece of spaghetti. In another bag, I had a Wiha multi bit driver that worked. I also have the IFix it kit which I like, but the bits are not well labeled in that foam tray. I really like that handle though. The hotu is pretty, but has a glass jaw on tough twists!

2 tips for you Doc. If a bit has an engraved size marking, I use a little white paint pen to fill in the engraving and wipe off. Makes it easy to see in dim light. Second is if that tool is a bit slippery, you can add a custom grippy area with some masking tape and some plasti dip.

I wish I had the discretionary income to buy all the tools I like. The truth is, I don't really need more hand tools or power tools for that matter. Spent almost $200 this week on shop gear: Fluids, lubricants, a degreaser made for the said fluids and two fairly inexpensive tools, if a Goldenrod oiler and a bench block qualify. Most of the funds went toward consumables. Today is the last day of Zoro's 20% off sale. Let me know if you, or anyone, wants the promo code.

Looked on their website. The Hoto kitchen scale is nothing short of beautiful. Thinking about getting one. If I didn't already have a small bit holder with dedicated bits, the twofer is a hell of a deal. Edit: I bought them. My son's birthday is coming up and one of these will be his. Likely the red. As this channel seems to attract a given demographic, thought I'd mention this. If you use a tool with a pedal as its speed control, as I do daily, arguably the best pedal for this will no longer be available. Lucas Dental, the manufacturer, is closing its doors. In business since 1930, family owned, the company is shutting down. The owner, Richard Lucas, is retiring. The few pedals available now are the last of them. I have one arriving today. Pretty excited. On a personal note, this sort of thing saddens me. A purely American company, built on ingenuity and quality, will no longer be around. Not a good thing.

@lastbesttool2 жыл бұрын
The Klein CS guy was great. He was as curious as I was. I asked if my bit could be warranted and in a telling comment he addressed something I have encountered with Klein. He said no because that would open up a necessary paper trail for warranty exchanges. Instead Klein would circumvent their process and just send me a replacement bit. We are about two weeks out so it should arrive soon.

I never understood why anyone makes an uninsulated screwdriver. I love the look of this screwdriver. You can tell it’s top notch at a fair price, but ALL screwdrivers should be insulated. No excuses.

I have both the iFixit and the Hoto base on your videos. I found I like the iFixit bits in the Hoto better. Seems the hex portion of the bit fits tighter in the Hoto driver better than the iFixit driver. More sloppy with the double ended bits. Seems with the full length iFixit hex there is more surface area for the magnet Wish the HOTO had some sort of textured grip to it. Not bad for $16
