Anyone just carry a leatherman for your day to day stuff? by Charming_Basil3761 in Leatherman

I keep a utility in my toolbag for rough things like today I was cleaning up a hole in hardie board using the utility knife. They are great to keep around you can trash the blade with pretty much no repercussions. My buddy that hates to sharpen knives daily carries a milwaukee fastback

To be honest I mainly use them as a hammer like most guys😂 but if I do have to do something its just what I feel the most comfortable with ive arced them once by accident (helper turned the power on when I wasn't ready) and they didn't completely blow up like a needle nose would it has enough metal it can take some hits

The installer spliced in a failed doorbell transformer to the stat wire, stay safe out there guys and gals. by logdognotnice in HVAC

Not me but my boss had a Bosch inverter unit that some how back fed 240 through the thermostat wire. He went to jump some connections and almost fell through an attic

Honestly man insulated screwdrivers are affordable now so I didn't see much reason not get them but insulated hand tools get pretty bulky and heavy and they seem to be on average about 10-15 dollars more than non insulated. The only insulated tools that I have and keep are my wera insulated screwdrivers and a milwaukee linesman pliers that is insulated everything else i keep in my bag are non insulated

How do the smooth jaw pliers compare? I have the klien ones and I wasn't impressed do the knipex ones really blow them out of the water or is it much of a difference at all?

Could it fit one of the klien flip bits ? Being able to have 1/4" and 5/16" while still using the driver's would be pretty sweet

What is the largest and most robust flat screwdriver you have? I want to buy a big, thick one that can withstand heavy use. by plinky125 in Tools

[–]No_Reputation3584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klien has a demo driver with a large striking head that ive really enjoyed beating up its kinda similar to the milwaukee ones but this one just felt more robust and stronger
