  • Was a single set on eBay

  • Jesus!

    I'm out.

  • Facom's pricey indeed. But apparently no longer made in France (not all of their range at least), which is annoying.

  • The Abbey T-handle impresses me each time I use it, it’s just a lovely thing.

  • It does look beautiful, and I want one purely because of that. What I think would irritate me quickly is needing to swap the bits from one end to the other, going from driving a bolt in to tightening up. It feels like it's made a one-handed process into a two-handed process. Absolutely understand it in terms of minimising tool space though, that's clever

  • Just found this at a Home Depot clearance table for $10. CDI/Snap-On and calibrated!

  • Don't look at the UK snap-on prices

  • Bizarrely they resell a barco scraper - great scraper but fundamental design problem of the head being a soft compound and the screw holding the carbide blade on being hard, easily threaded - grease it

  • And don't pay that much for it...
    I need a parrot on my shoulder the repeats "don't do that, don't do that" with the occasional 'you don't need that'

  • I’ve only ever regretted buying crap tools, never good ones.

  • I have a cart full of Snap-On my dad bought in the 60s and 70s.
    It still works and looks great.

  • I don't for a second doubt the snap-on aren't excellent [or the best] but from a brief look their pliers were £60-£100* , I can't think of anyone who has pliers as daily most used tool.. & you're right 2+ generations of use dose make me think that's alright
    .* I think that's $80-$120 usd and don't know how that compares

  • Surely pillars = Knipex

  • Yes, though I rate my NWS ones slightly higher than my Knipex ones. The surfaces on the pliers don’t rust because they’re coated and the side cutters are significantly harder. Would recommend 👍

  • Haha, yes, I was using them as a barometer of 'so how much are these?', which seemed to escalate to just how much would someone pay

  • I like the shape of Knipex handles. How comfortable something feels in your hand is important if you use a tool a lot.

  • Is it a microphone or a battery powered boyfriend or some sort of tool? Suspense is killing me

  • Magic wand. Tactical edition.

    It comes with a glass breaker at the other end and a built in bottle opener.

  • Wartime karaoke

  • Vessel? Is this for the rotor bolts?

  • Certainly looks like the Vessel one. Quite low torque limits it looks like.

  • 4Nm, beautifully made and made short work of putting the rotors back on my enduro bike wheels.
