Tools all of them any make I don't mind, mind you those CK stubbies will look good, when I get them.
Come on Mate pictures pretty please, my CK kit hasn't arrived yet.What did you get, show the pics for @Pete999 poor fella is only allowed to win tools these days lol
I have some wera, the straights are ok, but Pz1 and 2 don’t keep their tips well, especially the brass coloured sets, I really like the Klein screwdrivers for the Pz, but find the CK straights are nicer sized for ceiling roses and light switches than any of the Klein straights.
Shears I use 8” Hellermann Tyton
Side cutters are knipex and Klein
Pliers are knipex and Klein
Pointers are Avit.
Never was keen on the CK cutting tools as others said, they don’t keep their edge the same as Knipex does.
I know a lad who went through 5 pairs of ck shears in the time I had a set of the HT ones 6 months later they were replaced as were worn to too loose feeling for me, but they were still as sharp as the day they were bought.
And they’re 65% of the cost of the CK.
It really is a case of trying out stuff and seeing what you like personally.
I have some cheap items in my toolbox because I like the way they feel in my hand or how they operate. And I’ve bought dearer items like the knipex 6 in 1 pliers that to me feel like one of those crappy multitools based on a leather-man, they are just not for me at all. Yet I know loads on here love them.
I don’t even know where I put the set I bought lol
