Top 5 Quality Hand Tools to Invest in First!

Want to add a nice small versatile ratchet set? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnytZKyLpqqYg5Y check out this video where we discuss the 1/4” drive Wera Zyklop kit! Remember to Subscribe for more awesome tool content!

[@gregosaurusrex]

I really like the similar Wera 004016 set. It adds a couple of socket sizes (no big deal), a wobble extension, and loses the slotted bit (too bad). The turn-to-unlock mechanism on the sockets is really convenient. I prefer the 004016 to the Tool Check PLUS, which we initially purchased at work. The 004016 is a little more money, but it's much more versatile and can handle larger jobs. I sometimes prefer the 1/4" Zyklop speed ratchet for screwdriving compared to the Wera ratcheting screwdriver because it feels lighter and more balanced.

[@kittytrail]

@@ts757arse you can find lots of others ratcheting screwdrivers with the exact same taiwanese mechanism cheaper from the likes of Bahco, Würth, most of the Stanley+Black&Decker group brands (Facom, Expert, Stanley and lot of others). handle changes, shank sometime but mechanism is identical. very good mechanism, tough and with relatively low backdrag. 😉

[@Ibonic]

The best part about buying high quality tools is that even though you spend more outright, you save over the long term by not having to rebuy the same tools over and over again. At least that's what I tell the wife. 🤣

[@TheUKSpark]

Wera and Knipex are gods of the hand tool world. Great content 👌

[@emmert090]

Wera, Knipex and Bahco are my go to tools. And as a farmer I do beat them up pretty good!

[@mikescarfone9358]

Add wiha to that list also 👌

[@cerealkiller4248]

I use almost exclusively Klein, with additional Knipex and Bahco to fill in the gaps. I have some great set-ups but they very expensive. I have the Knipex wrench/pliers in 125/180/300mm and as you said, they’re incredible. I have the Bahco versions of your Wera stuff, to go with my favourite, a 1/4” drive T-Bar. The leverage is superb, my impact recently broke a security bit trying to undo a large screw holding a door security grill in place, my T-Bar undid it with ease 👏👏

There are more, e. g. Gedore, Hazet or Proxxon

[@User_1170]

My German branded tool obsession began in December, when I asked for a metric tool check plus for Christmas. Then, a few months later, I purchased a 5" knipex pliers wrench, then a 7", then the 6" & 5" cobra combo with carrying pouch. Now I'm waiting on 7" cobras and a wera kraftform kompakt 25. I blame these videos for helping to fuel my addiction.

[@MillisConstruction]

I really enjoy making these videos too, it’s almost like the next step in enjoying buying tools becomes sharing that enjoyment with others and that is about as great an experience as the actual tools. The people are fantastic 😁 Thanks for being here!

[@User_1170]

@@MillisConstruction Your videos are very well presented. I had never heard of these until I started going down the rabbit hole of German branded tools. I work in an industrial environment and while I'm not a mechanic, I go along on many maintenance calls if they need an extra pair of hands. I've never seen any of the mechanics use a knipex pliers wrench, and it would be perfect for what they do, because most of our equipment is made in Germany, with much of our packaging systems made in the US. So, the majority of the line is in metric until it gets to the very end. Strange, but I saw an immediate use for pliers wrenches; something that can work on both metric and imperial. A pliers wrench paired with a metric tool check plus is an awesome little combination. I'm torn on which size pliers wrench for EDC though. I have both 125 & 150mm. Both are awesome. Both present a very strong case for EDC.

[@TheWinwin4all]

As an industrial maintenance I agree with this selection as I have them all )) I upgraded the check plus set by removing one odd number small socket and adding 9/16, so I have a complete set from 1/4 to 9/16. Also I composed the bits as full allen set three sizes of Phillips heads and two flats. This tool set plus a small knipex let me fix 70% of all the calls I'm getting. Recently I bought the smallest Knipex cobra 5" one and this is my most used tool ever since ))

[@PhreakDarkSoul]

The smalest Cobra is 4", not 5". ;)

[@BL-yj2wp]

I totally agree about the pliers wrench, one of the greatest and most important tools to have for any craftsman or hobbyist. The new 180mm version with the dipped handles would be my choice, 40mm (just over 1.5") capacity and small and light enough to fit in a pocket.

[@gplusgplus2286]

I bought a 250 one as a gift for a plumber friend and thought of getting the 180 for myself. As the price was only 2 eur apart I also got the 250mm one. The 250 goes up to 52mm capacity.

Spot on advice I have 2 x 180 pliers wrench and a 250 set of cobras all with comfort grip in my edc been using them for the last three years amazing tools and quality well worth the extra investment. As for the mini ratchet I've gone through several cheep ones over the years and after a while they start to slip but the Wera one even after 3 years has never slipped once.

[@3axiss]

What do you think about the BAHCO mini ratchet?

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

3:43 Even the sockets are usually somewhat interchangeable between metric and imperial. I have a small set which is mostly imperial, but also comes with 10mm and 13mm sockets. However, most of the imperial sockets are also close enough to fit common metric sizes, so the total of 9 sockets is very versatile. The only real redundancy is the 13mm and 1/2" sockets, since 13mm is usually close enough to work fine on 1/2" bolt heads (which are 12.7mm)

Wera impactor diamond tipped bits are next level for your brushless 12volt impact driver. Vintage metrinch 3/8 socket set and a wera VDE socket wrench keeps it light weight and prevents electrical accidents.

I'm just a homeowner who dabbles in DIY, but I love that tool check plus kit. It is so useful generally but I pair it with a 12v impact as well. I know they're not impact rated but they do fine. I'm not really using them for super high torque work anyways, I just want speed.

[@poonbandit9924]

Contractor/construction tools needed is so much different then auto or diesel but somehow similar. Yes my hand tools are the best of the best, yes my toolbox cost more then I’d like to talk about. But everyone needs the basics. Screwdrivers, torx bits/sockets/keys, hex bits/sockets/keys, ratchets, metric and standard sockets, drill and bits, pliers, wrenches, pry bars or crow bars/cats paw, etc, And somewhere to keep the tools. And they better be good if you wanna buy once

[@user-et5mz5ex9s]

About the Allen keys, those look good, but for HVAC I got the MulWark Allen key set which has 10 metric, 10 SAE and they have a 1/4" adapter which can either be used with a drill, impact driver, or the Klein mini ratchet. The mini ratchet is perfect for those bits because they can let me easily loosen pressure testing ports on burners and open/close king valves on condensing units without needing to remove the key or repeatedly readjust my grip to keep turning it. Take a look at both tools. They're nice if you don't need long keys or if you don't need to angle them

I agree with your tool choices. Great basic do almost everything quick repair kit, for around the house, or emergency kit for the car. I am a Realtor, sometimes when I leave a house, the door locks are very loose to the point that a door or window won’t shut, or lock. Most of time all it takes is a few turns of a screw or nut… Also when I go over my moms, or sisters or friends homes, they ask if I can look at this or that, again sometimes a turn of a loose screw or nut fixes the problem. (I just realized why they invite me for dinner! LOL) You suggested a great set of tools!

[@francisbarragan7810]

Thanks for the video. Very interesting. I have a bit of a different take on expensive tools (still love your recommendations and will follow a few). I have a lot of tools, some good, some not so good. But when my wife, and or parents do not know what to buy for a holiday, I ask them to buy really quality tools such as wera. Buying something at the same cost for, let's say, a cordless tool, isn't just a long-term gift. Just received 100$ for my birthday from the folks. Will buy that wera kit. I'll keep it forever then.

If you like ratcheting screwdrivers then you have to try the Anex 72-tooth driver. It blows the Wera out of the water. Vessel makes a ratcheting stubby that's pretty good, too. With the ratchet set to the locked position, there is no play at all in the blade when you change directions with the screwdriver.

[@johnrhodes3350]

Speaking of Vessel screwdrivers... You really should have have told us all about the JIS Japanese Industrial Standard that is a tight fit that doesn't Cam-out like the Phillips is designed to

[@zacharybob4336]

Wera's big short coming is not being made to fit in hip bags. The handles might be ergonomic but traditional klein drivers actually fit in a tool pouch like you need them to. All of the bi material grips from knipex (and klein) have the same issue. Great for shop use maybe, but not out in the field.

[@charly92257]

[@davidparker9676]

I guess it really depends on what you work on. The pliers are pretty much a universal need no matter what trade. I love my German tools, but they are not always the best value for money. Having tens-of-thousands of dollars worth of tools, I have a big mix of brands and quality. There are some tools that you will never get your money's worth back in useful value. I have tons of Snap-On regrets, where the harbor freight cheapo tool would have done the job and I could have had money left to buy other things. Also, the warranty process would be quicker going to Harbor Freight rather than waiting for the tool-truck day or tracking the tool truck down at another shop. Of course not everything at HF is even worth buying for a one-time use. In my lightweight bag, I have the pliers, a couple screwdrivers, aviation snips, a small pry-bar, combo wrenches and common sockets and a small ratchet, and an extension with a handle built into it. I can do a significant amount of work with those basic tools before needing to go back to the toolbox or the truck for anything more. The all-in-one bit screwdrivers are only useful on surface mounted screws, any recessed or pocketed screws are easily out of reach of the tool. They tend to be too bulky for anything other than ideal workspaces.

[@davidparker9676]

@Hand Tool Reviews How would you compare them to WITTE? I have been really happy with my WITTE screwdrivers. The tip bites into the fastener well and the ergonomic handle makes the grip secure. I also like that they have a hole in the handle to use another screwdriver, making it a T-handle for added torque.

[@chrisleeks3890]

Another cool presentation, you should have done the top 6 and added the Knipex Twin Grip, it can get you out of a lot of trouble and save time.

[@johnrhodes3350]

Also get a Vessel megadora screwdriver with a 'JIS' Japanese Industrial Standard bit, because thet dont Cam-out like the Phillips is designed to. So if you need to keep adjusting a Japanese Motorbike, Automobile, bicycle, or electrical electronics... they are really worth the extra cost.

I've used Knipex Alligator pliers for years and beat the crap out of them, they've never let me down.

Same quality, I've used them for years for commercial work. I just bought a set of the wrench pliers, can't wait to use and abuse them and see how they hold up. Since they're Knipex, I'm sure they'll be just as good.

What’s your take on the Knipex Pliers Wrench XS {KPWXS} versus the Knipex Cobra XS? Also, if you had to choose one, the KPWXS or the KPW150mm, which would you choose and why? For my uses, I was looking for 90% of the tasks I have at home, or on my car.

Can not agree more with your choice. I have 3 of 5

You would get the Knipex 7 1/2 inch Pliers wrench or 10 inch first?

What size pump pliers do you use most often? I went from 10" channeloks to 10" knipex and never went back. The channeloks are for dirty/dangerous use now

Would you get a zyklop 1/4 or a zyklop 3/8 for your first one ?

I ❤️ hand tools as well!

I wish they made the imperial Allen keys with case instead of pouch. The pouch takes up way too much space in my tool bag plus it looks ridiculous on your belt. I believe they just started offering it with case. Agreed on the jacket getting in the way. In the end they are awesome and comfortable in hand. Don’t loan them out as there’s always that one person asking to borrow 😠
