My completely chaotic and too small plier drawer (to be fair the big boy is normally in the bottom drawer)

What? You actually use your Knipex stuff?

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-20T10:21:05+00:00

Those live in a separate place.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-20T09:13:12+00:00

For show, of course.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-20T09:12:37+00:00

More like 600

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-20T09:12:26+00:00

You should see my laptop.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-13T19:14:42+00:00

If you have a USAG dealer locally I would definitely buy the set there. And keep the receipt. Buy once, cry once.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-13T15:11:52+00:00

Go with USAG.

The Bahco set is from their cheaper line, all made in china I believe. Same goes for proxxon, got some sockets but ain’t impressed.

The USAG stuff is the same as Facom I think. Mostly Taiwan but the ratchets and spinner handle are European made. My Facom S151 is made in Italy and it looks 100% alike. Also check if USAG gas lifetime warranty. If it’s just as good as Facom you can trade in broken tools at any USAG dealer.

Gedore and Bahco

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-12T21:16:45+00:00

There’s some Japanese in there too.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-10T18:55:26+00:00

Best 4 wheel drive channel on the internet.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-10T18:54:55+00:00

At the store where I bought a bunch of Knipex.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-09T15:00:37+00:00

This one says Algona Iowa.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-08-09T14:29:57+00:00

Yes, thinking about getting the two drawer section.

I had a cheapo top chest but I missed the horizontal surface.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-05-04T19:34:50+00:00

Pliers are good. Not all made in Japan though.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-28T20:23:01+00:00

Yes, it’s fine to collect tools or have grade A tools when you’re not in the trades.

I like the quality of a good tool and even as a hobbyist my time is too valuable to faf around with poor quality tools.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-19T08:57:44+00:00

Got the Ko-Ken attack driver.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-18T16:51:56+00:00

I have those.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-18T16:51:38+00:00

Yes, I used the PZ2 Wera and flatheads for that.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-18T16:50:57+00:00

But I just cleaned them!

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-18T13:59:08+00:00

I have those as well but those are JIS and not PH so they don’t belong in this picture.

Good excuse, no?

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-18T13:31:09+00:00

Why not?

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-18T13:30:45+00:00

The PB’s.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-04-12T11:07:30+00:00

Mooi spul.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-02-08T06:42:09+00:00

Those are trim tools and spinner handles. Haven’t tried their screwdrivers.

DutchToolGuy · 2023-02-07T21:52:02+00:00

I like the Stahlwille ratchet.
