great video...please keep this videos coming
your opinion is correct
Why not repunch all the pairs and be done with it?
From left to right, what is the color arrangement? The first ones in the video are kind of blurred. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Great channel!
Feel like anyone’s that actually used knipex pliers they’d immediately like them better. Sucks because I’d rather support an American company but as far as pliers the quality isn’t even comparable
If you had the knipex electrician snips it’d do it no problem. Most of my tools have been Klein but unfortunately knipex has won me over with there cobras and now I’m looking at there other stuff. Still like a lot of Kleins stuff but pliers and scissors I’m done with Klein. The flip jaw pliers they made are junk, along with those scissor. sometimes u just want a tool that’s really good at 1 thing. The kleins are complete junk next to the knipex electricians shears, hopefully they start putting more attention to there pliers and not so carried away with the gimmicks.
Fuck all that. Fire alarms for life.
I just Got mine, Quality is good. The only questions I have, are how do you lift the boxes, if with the accessories attached? The accessories use the same rail that is ment to grab and lift. What are the grey second lock holes for ? They are a different diameter so my master pad lock fits but, it doesn’t fit the red hole that actually locks the drawers. So what is it for? Lastly are the drawers defective if they scrape the drawer opening while empty, or will the weight of tools stop this? A improvement I would add is the four corners strength support struts make them out of steel maybe black in color. The plastic is not functional as other brands. Maybe like a Knape and Voght adjustable shelf hardware to incorporate the accessories at the front corners, instead of at the hand rails. I know always a critique l. Great job for the money. I rolled up to work with orange. The ref box guys were laughing at first and after overcoming some weak objections, they finally said why orange? I told them nice and loud haven’t you heard orange is a aggressive color!
Klein has the best test equipment. As a commercial electrician my companies always have fluke and greenlee stuff but feel like my Klein stuff is just as good for 1/4 the price and a lot of times has more features
Can you do short video about cable management and labeling ?
Toughbuilt has the best.
Patch cord.
What % of the time do you go in the bottom bin? I’m finally buying a set and don’t see myself using the bottom bin much
Stanley are good pill cutters.
how i got my klein some one left it a conduit. free
Love Klein, but being this far late in the "Pack-out" game, they shouldn't be making mistakes like that bottom box.
Where did you buy the bottom draw witn wheels???
Rolling drawer boxes are a necessity, not an option. Rolling tool boxes with lids on top should be eliminated.
Sure good luck finding a supplier in Canada to get these keystone
Unfortunately knipex. I try to buy amarican but all pliers I’m switching to knipex
How stupid is it that the bottom one doesn’t have a drawer so you gotta take everything off just to open it 😂😂
I totally despise those combination drivers they do not feel comfortable in the hand and they feel cheap Don't get me wrong I'd like the brand on other tools but not These But it don't matter what brand when it comes to combination drivers like this that are all junk in my opinion and they do not feel good
These are also not electrical ratings and working in control panels we are working with 110 V 220 V AC and 48 V AC low voltage not about to carry around this brand which is very costly that are not electrically rated
For many years I used the B wire code. But when a it guy come to location to hook up service it seems they all use the B code. Witch I don't like they clearly can see I set up all useing the B. But they do A. Witch witch ever A or B used should be the same across the oard for best service. 2nd I use to use standered rj54 plugs. I have 20/20 Vision. And struggle to get the wires into the right location. These plugs are not clear plastic.. more on a foggy side. I Even gonna as far as using a magnifying glass to double check. All looks good so I'd crimp. Hook up cable tester an 9 out of 10 it show a short. I use to waste so many plugs. Even checking 4 to 5 time before crimping. An short would test. Then looking over the plug every wire is were it should be but cable test fail. I later seen these pass through plugs come on the market. I was skeptical because of the bare copper at the ends in causing corrosion. Was not until 2 years ago I changed over to useing only top brand name pass though plugs an trouble free. I see you useing a 1 step punch down tool. Never seen this before or even the tool. Only use the one at a time punch down tool. I Skeptical of the tool you're using as you cannot see clearly what's happening with each connection As you punch it
Off topic.. I want to see a how to low voltage wireing for say a 6 port in floor heating manafold. They come standered with flow gages temp gages flush ports an valves. Each 1/2" pex loop has a valve you can manually turn on flow or turn off or adjust flow. You can add solenoids Activators. One must be a 3 wire master and the rest are 2 wire. When useing to control a loop in floor heating you can install a 2 port 1" taco 48volt zone valve Connected to the thermostat to control the infloor heating on all loops and not need the Individual so nowadays on the manifold. But in a set up were you use these manafolds as a zone control for 5 Individual Thermostats. One must be a 3 wire master. The other 4 are 2 wire slave. .. the 3 wire master tells the boiler to fire. I like to see a low voltage wireing for this set up.. I joined with hopes of finding this type of set up as well as many others in hot water heating. But it seem all your stuff is ads promoting products. Mainly network cabling witch I know in side an all most, out No real world work.
I don't like any of those. I use Fiskars PRO PowerArc Steel Straight Cut Offset Snips or Wiss 7-1/2 in. Titanium Coated Tradesman Utility Scissors because they're very comfortable, inexpensive, cut really well and they spring open on their own.
I see that g-shock 700. 👀
The tool is really great! But this face on the entire screen in the frame is definitely inappropriate!
A great video brother. I love Knipex tools as well. I have those same linemans pliers. I havecthe cobras and the forged wire strippers and the angled electricians shears. I just gave my co worker the regular electricians shears scissors. I love the angled shears. I just purchased the bottom Klein rolling box and the middle medium tool box. Next up will be the top box. I also purchased the organizer. All @lowes. Have a great week brother. 😊
Had my Kleins break after it fell outta my pouch. Getting the knipex in the mail.
those southwires break fast.
Those strippers are the best tool i own by far.
Wiss CW5T???
yellow handle snips are my favorite
Ok, but good thing we all have access to a dictionary, except for the people over at Knipex.
It's a personal preference. I bought several model of Klein snippers throughout the years as the backups when they were on sales, but I have been only using Knipex snippers on the daily basis for over two decades.
A great video brother. Im building my Klein ModBox ecosystem as we speak.😊
A great video. I'm in the Klein ecosystem. I love me some tools brother. Take care.
It is [cable cutters] too small
Did I hear right? I need all 4…
Hey I’m pretty indecisive on whether I should get the 32303 (the 14-1 you showed) or the 32304. I think the 304 would be neat, however, i’m really after a stronger magnet, as I will always be carrying that 7-1 shaft as well. I was wondering if you could speak to the magnetic strength between those two shafts. Which One holds bits better? Also, is the 303 magnetic portion slimmer than the flir 1/4(5/16) socket? I often work in tight panels and that would also influence my decision… THANK YOU
It still seems to be on sale, but the Brother webpage indicates that the PT-E550W has been discontinued. It looks like the current series is P-TOUCH EDGE series: PT-E560BTVP, PT-E510VP, PT-E310BTVP, and PT-E110.
Electrician here. I own both and prefer the Klein. The knipex model shown here are very nice and feel good in the hand but the leverage is LESS than Klein. Notice the rivet to the cutting knives, Klein is higher which provides more leverage. The knipex will require more force to cut through MC cable versus the Klein. This is why most Electricians prefer the 10" Knipex diags which I do not own so I can't comment on. I wish the 8" Knipex had the leverage of the Klein cos I prefer the handle shape. Knipex cutting knives are aligned better then Klein which provide a clean, precise cut such as tape, aircraft cable, or the silk string in low volt cables. Both are great tools though.
Be careful with this unit. They auto shut off which is a MAJOR pain on a big job.. imagine trying to find the wire across the building when the generator has auto shut off. It nearly went out the window after the 5th time. No way to turn off auto shutoff.
needs a metal tip to short the tone.
can we please get a update on this? Thank you brother!
I like Klein tools but why are Klein now made in Taiwan? That was very disappointing.
That's trash nothing beats packout
Nice
