That was a really good video. When a man says "he would buy it again tomorrow" if he lost it says all you need to know. The twin grips have completely sold out in the UK, waiting for mine to arrive on the next shipment. I keep looking at your Fiskar knife, the ergonomics look really good, as you can imagine, I really need another knife!! The PB Swiss have been on the list for a long while.
I’m knee deep in M12 & M18 tools and the only ones I ever bought and returned were the M12 dirt devil type vacuum, and the M18 heat gun you have here. Both were just terrible in my opinion. The heat gun could hardly effect winter window heat shrink plastic or wire heat shrink. My $12 garage sale heat gun worked 3-4x better.
Also the Knipex 4" cobras are also the best everyday carry pocket pliers. Doesnt matter if you are in shorts or pants, they are light weight and small. They open to almost a 1-1/2" and are locking. You can literally stand on the to breake loose a fastener (i weight 180lbs and do it frequently) i have actually used them as a toe hold on a pallet rack to reach something (not safe but im ok with it). They are hard to beat. What is nice is they are actually serrated way in the back by the slip so the entire jaw has serrations unlike every other set out there.
I'm totally loving Durham's small - 12x12x24 - 9-drawer tooling cabinet. It swallowed all of my tooling with room to spare, plus I now have significantly more space in my Kennedy box. Win-win. If I had to name this year's favorite hand tool, it would be Milwaukee's 1502 utility knife.
I’ve had my Klein light for about 2 years. I use it practically every day and I’ve finally sent it off for warranty work. I’ve enjoyed mine to its fullest but after dropping it 2, 3, or 100 or so times off the top of a ladder, she finally started having issues. I was just going to buy a new one because it’s failure was entirely from my negligence, but my Klein dealer said he’d hook me up. Probably the best light out on the market in my opinion.
Having the right tools for right job REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Do ya need specific tools, no, as job can still get done; but HAVING THOSE RIGHT TOOLS 😘, oh yeah 👍🏻
The Knipex "twingrips" are the "cats meow" or the "bee's knees". They are simply one of the best go to pliers when shit gets interesting and odd area of work
Omgosh you just gave me a great idea for the m18 heat gun... That would be good for melting the ice on the windshield and windows that don't get as much heat to melt the ice off of them as well.
I got the cobra XS about two months ago and I haven't gone a single day without using it. It's always in my coin pocket ready to use on anything I need to get a better grip on.
Nice tools, I personally have the fiskars knife, the knipex cobras and twingrip. And i have electrician scissors from knipex very similar to your c jet. I like your klein worklight, 👍
I got the Knipex 82 01 200 and, I love it! Same goes for the Knipex Cobra series, the 87 01 150, the 87 51 250, and be sure to try the 87 41 250 !!! This is the Knipex flush cutter, 72 11 160
I bought too many to count and it's hard to remember which I actually bought this year or last. The biggest one for me is the TOYO ST350 box, bit if I lost that I'd be loosing a bunch of tools some being irreplaceable too so that would sting more than loosing a $100 toolbox I can just replace. Next would probably have to be the leatherman bond, and after that the streamlight microstream USB.
Great review Doc! When I navigate the Knipex products on their website I notice that some of their tool offerings are labeled "High Tech". Despite all my efforts I can't ascertain what does that distinction mean. Can you offer any insight & elaborate?
I really love Knipex cobra’s but I have found a weakness. They are hard to adjust and lock in place if you get them muddy in a trench on an emergency water line repair.
@@chillywilly7454 All the professional plumbers and maintanance workers I know, all use Knipex Cobras. They indeed have that kind of issue, but it just makes it bit slower to use, that's all! Keep in mind, that Knipex also makes a couple different Cobra models, where they work with different mechanisms, (one is spring auto adjust system) Those probably don't have that issue!!
Thanks for watching. Knipex is a German company and the hard k sound is the correct pronunciation. It is not an Old English translation of a Norwegian word like knife.
I have a home set of tools that are damn near sparkling. I have an identical set of tools at the shop that are super well loved and worn. I have a feeling he has the same thing going on. I have a lot of the same stuff as he does, I promise it’s all good stuff and he’s speaking to the strengths and weaknesses of these tools accurately.
Because they never say the brands of the tools, a big mistake, make a video, invest time and not give the important information, by the way you don't see the brands visually ...

Vim Tools is the OEM for those Bluepoint blades.

Came a little late to the Knipex twin grip party into early 2022 but have to say they are spectacular. The grip they get is very confidence inspiring.

Agree, great versatile light. I also really like the Milwaukee 2113-21 pivoting head flashlight.
You just sold me on this light 👍🏽

I L-O-V-E my little Knipex 5"ers. I do HVAC, and I grab then all the time. Great for furnace hose clamps. 😎👍
Recommend the Streamlight Stinger or strion switchblade for a Utility light that has great features and are beyond tough
The Knipex "twingrips" are the "cats meow" or the "bee's knees". They are simply one of the best go to pliers when shit gets interesting and odd area of work
You forgot the most important tool. The Klein beer bottle opener
Omgosh you just gave me a great idea for the m18 heat gun... That would be good for melting the ice on the windshield and windows that don't get as much heat to melt the ice off of them as well.
Me and my 84 Hilux can relate.

amazing toolset, I like your view point on quality and usability of them
solid set of tools

Good stuff! I should get a small Knipex plier like that one.
That Milwaukee heat gun looks sharp! Ahh shit, another tool to add to the list to buy

Thumbs up, great advice.
Just found your channel. Great content!
I really love Knipex cobra’s but I have found a weakness. They are hard to adjust and lock in place if you get them muddy in a trench on an emergency water line repair.
They are still my favorite tool though.

is the meat gun beef or pork?
Enjoy the over the top knit picky content you post
Ever try Biotene ?
It’s an incredible product I swear by it
Do you have the part number on that screwdriver? 2:32 The link doesn’t take you to the tool just to Amazon.
PB Swiss 8451

affiliate links are all messed up... want to buy those vampliers...
Thanks a lot
That fiskars knife if trash… the Milwaukees are way better. Other than that some great ideas for kit.
haha ofan kollegan hade rätt när han sa att elektiker är prylbögar😂😂😂
Do you call a blade a ka- niffy? If not why would you pronounce the k in knipex?
Thanks for watching. Knipex is a German company and the hard k sound is the correct pronunciation. It is not an Old English translation of a Norwegian word like knife.
None if this stuff looks used. How can you say it's good with out putting it there its paces
He owns so many tools, that he had to live 10 lifes, for any of them to show any kind of use on it! lol

Minimalism! Hah!. Boring tools...
What's an exciting tool for you?
