For the record, I like Knipex more. C'est la vie. Ball is in their court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the ratchet to...ratchet just by pushing on the black spot on the head so the backdrag is virtually zero. Keep in mind this is probably smaller than you'd imagine, this is for tight spots, it's smaller than a stubby ratchet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Wiha variant of this ratchet, that one isn't bad either, I'd pick this up but don't really need two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually the one I have. I do prefer the Felo because of the angled head. As @BMack37 said it is very small. I almost forget how small they are until we have a special on one. https://www.kctoolco.com/wiha-38060-mini-bit-ratchet-and-clicfix-set-with-phillips-2/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had my el cheapo husky slip on a tough bolt today so I think it's a sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew better and I knew you had to be right but I really couldn't believe this number so I broke out the Felo catalog and damned it wasn't a typo or mistake, holy hell. 65Nm! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same one I have, it's a beast. Mine will magnetize a 3" bit...most barely can magnetize a 1" bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 @KC_Tool I just remembered that Felo's pliers are/were made by NWS, that might be a way to side step the NWS thing...though I'm not sure how well they would sell because not a lot would know the OEM and there's limited options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that does sound right. I think Orbis also used to make them for Felo. The problem is Felo has discontinued their pliers division. They are still on their website and maybe even in the print catalog but they aren't selling them going forward. We have tried to get their remaining stock exported out of Germany but they are holding on to them. Maybe trying to turn them into collectors items like beanie babies, furbys, pokemon cards... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I thought it was odd that the pliers catalog was separate from the main catalog. I liked the look of their pliers over the crazy NWS grips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Just in case anyone doubts KC's great prices, Snap-on attempted to sell me a pair of knipex pliers for $130 today. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
