Approx 20% or more. Very tempting to get the contractor pack but I'll start with the fantastico. Glad I held off on Knipex comfort grip diagonal cutters. My 8" Knipex snipes came from Amazon today; the needlenose was stabbed through the packaging. Pliers in a bubble mailer... I made use of my new NWS pliers today. Needle nose, side cutters and linesman. SUPER nice. Definitely the best pliers I've used. You wont regret getting them I can assure you of that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to add more quality tools manufactured in fair working conditions to my collection. That I end up with duplicates to compare and contrast...well everyone needs backups. Who knows what could happen I will agree with the idea that NWS pliers are a bit "ugly" compared to some of my Knipex. A bit space age, like Hitachi cordless lol. NWS looks rugged and industrial though, despite how durable the comfort grips are I subconsciously try to baby the Knipex stuff because it's expensive and seems a bit dainty lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irwin NWS look soo much better! At least the normal NWS is high visibility! The bent linesman are some of my most used non-precision pliers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olletsocmit Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I got the following in the pics below plus a 1x5" and 1x2" both 6 feel long in sanded pine. This is what I am planning on using to make a small coffee table top. I was going to alternate sizing. In regards to the crag wood pieces they don't tell you what what they're made of or if they're stainable, just can be painted. is there anyway I can get them in Pine?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Just bought the Dewalt DCK283D2 kit with the DCF887 impact and DCD791 drill finally upgraded from my ni cads only thing so far is there is no place to put extra bits unless I spend $11 on Amazon and get 2 bit holders to screw on to one of the belt clip spots 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used them before and really like them. My favorite part is the quick change mandrel. Very handy to swap out in a hurry between different sizes.

Bremon Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Grabbed a 15 piece hole dozer kit this morning on promo...also picked up a DCK283D2 on sale with a third 2.0 thrown in. Going to sell or gift most of it but I'm keeping the 791. I'll ditch my 796: have a 996 for concrete. Tempted to pick up the Bosch pimp cube for 20% off and free battery. Tough call; Black Friday is coming up, and some NWS and a brushless mitre are both calling my name! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
