    I think my pliers would fill that box, which, oddly enough.has all the same size drawers.

    @cblack1863 8 днів тому

    100% agree with you on Knipex & SO for plier brands. I can't get on board with the Wranglstar Cringe Lord 'ProHo' thing though. The guy thinks he's litterally gods gift to mans knowledge of tools, and is clueless half the time. Sorry, no such thing as a professional home owner lol. We're just some guys that maintain are homes/vehicles like everyone used to do. You didn't say they give you 'The Fizz' so there's still hope, rant over lol...Anyway, like you said, the Twin Grips are awesome. Available in 6 & 10" now. Japan has some beauties as well, Fujiya & Tsunoda, Lobster, 3 Peaks etc... Really nice plier collection man👍🏻

  • @branned
    @branned 9 днів тому

    Snap-on/Knipex are my go-to also. I also have some Lobster (Japan) which are nice. I also have the copy-cat Icon pliers and they are the best value when on coupon.

    I can confirm with my most recent job that nothing beats high quality pliers. What, you mean you didnt want to pay $86 for the snap on flush cuts! Neither did I. So I will say the knipex diagonal looking pliers in a 2 pack that are said to be flush cuts ... my set was definitely not ground to a flush cut. Otherwise im pleased with my other knipex. I agree the LN46acf is my favorite pliers and fully worth the 60 some dollars. My pair is not aligned perfectly.

    I have a problem. I have like 3 drawers like that. Separate cutter drawer and mini ones. Then copies of all the ones I like in all my bags. Those small snap on ones probably hurt me the most. I have like 5 pairs and they are expensive but make it so you can carry less tools for sure

    • @chrishallnyc

      I think the only other brands I have that you didn’t mention that people maybe haven’t heard about are Tsunoda, Merry, Engineer, Fujiya and Victor. All of them have ones I really like. For anything with a blade like scissors and knives KAI makes some stuff I have never found anything that compares with them. I probably have $4000 in KAI stuff. Always looking for the best tools

    • @anonym6391
      @anonym6391 10 днів тому

      It always depends on the genre you are in and on the tool itself. Common big brands in Europe (especially Germany) for sockets, ratchets, and wrenches are Hazet, Stahlwille, Gedore (check to avoid buying their budget line), and Heyco. If you're looking for screwdrivers, I would recommend Felo, Wera, and Wiha. Good pliers are made by NWS, Knipex, and some models by Wiha.

    You should be comparing a $500 Scarab II to a $450 Heretic Colossus - which is apples to apples - they even LOOK the same, and are almost the exact same size. Both have that "grip tape" inlay... Of COURSE a $300 Ultratech is not as "beefy" as a Colossus!

    Love the Microtech haters - Microtech is one of the best knife makers on the planet. You are comparing a lower spec Microtech to the highest spec Hereticc - not fair, smart or informative. Crucible may be going away and I frankly prefer M390.

    • @chrishallnyc
      @chrishallnyc 11 днів тому

      It’s just a normal micro tech to a normal heretic. Pretty representative of both. Thanks for the comment!

  • @hillbillyartscrafts4367
    @hillbillyartscrafts4367 13 днів тому

    I had a $30 OTF that looked almost identical to that heretic. It was a good knife so when I look at that heretic it looks cheap. the microtech looks more expensive in my opinion extremely compact

    • @chrishallnyc
      @chrishallnyc 12 днів тому

    Full Tang metal handle - how about hand shock on that thing? Can´t imagine it to be comfortable when hitting things like concrete with it. I tried a few impact tools with metal handles and they all were awful for elongated usage. It might be OK for combat use, but as a tool, I very much prefer wooden handles (or at least thick rubber padding on the grip).

    • @chrishallnyc
      @chrishallnyc 19 днів тому

      Exactly, with any repeated use you'll want to use shock absorbing gloves or wrap this thing somehow. but its not too bad for a little.

    BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES: I worked at tactile for a year, they have HORRIBLE management and ownership and consistently produce a VERY inconsistent product, screws not flush, surface imperfections, and sometimes knives with occasional lock files will still get sent out (I remember tons of returns for lockfails). The cerekote knives regularly have small chips and they would knowingly send them out to customers anyway, forcing the customer to decide if the imperfection is worth the hassle of a return. THIS COMPANY IS TRASH

    Sorry. I once messed up the screw on the ZT640 washer in the same way. I not only twisted it too hard, but also put a thread retainer in it. And I still managed to unscrew it with great difficulty, marking out a new thread and using high-quality carbide screwdrivers. Instead of the damaged one, by the way, a screw from the old HDD came up. So on my beloved firetac, I will not repeat such a mistake
