[Dewalt compound Pliers]

I mean they look neat but I would probably replace them with a better quality brand.

[Knipex vs Channellock vs Gearwrench vs Mastercraft - Needle Nose]

I absolutely hate all my experiences with Knipex collection except the mini bolt cutters. Ive sold almost all the other ones. I have, I think cobra pliers I kept because I hardly ever use that style plier and its very light. They are just so springy - the steel.

 

I think all the Chanellock pliers are a GREAT deal and value much like Wright tools. I wouldnt buy their screwdrivers or sockets and wrenches, just their pliers which are relabeled for Cornwell, Mac and Matco made in USA pliers.

 

I have the most Snap-On pliers which I never have an issue with. I didnt pay for any of them, I was reimbursed for them all over the years.

[If You Had to Start Again...]

I used to regret Makita because of the lack of impact tools that could contend with the red or yellow boys. But now that they've filled all that AND have a cordless grease gun - Im all about it. The only non Makita stuff I have is Matco.

[Does Anyone Still Read Magazines? Which Ones?]

I get the printed version of the Christian Science Monitor sent to my PO Box. I like to have it at work to take a break from the screen and do something thats not irradiating my eyes lol.

[Do you like colour coding in tools?]

I used to not care but after buying the Wera color coded l-keys I find its definitely a brain thing. Now I look for blue instead of 3/8.
