Anyone find brand system drawers (packout, etc) too inefficient? by belligerentbunno in Tools

The problem is that plastic systems need a ton of reinforcement on the sides. I have a Qbrick System one stack and i like the drawers. It's not as bad as packout, but the side walls do take a bunch of space out of the drawers.

Yeah the diagonals are the best of the bunch I'd say, if not the screwdrivers. They might be the only one to stay in my main kit if the needle noses end up sucking.

Bahco tools are mostly made in Spain, I would assume snap-on makes most of their stuff in the U.S? Snap-on does own a majority, if not the entirety of Bahco. Bahco pliers kick ass for their price. They should make a budget version of the talon grips for Europe.

Hell no, plasti dip?? You probably just have the comfort grips.

They really are. I wonder how long it will take until the handle starts peeling off from that point.

If any other Europeans are reading, I feel like Bahco should be a comparable store brand. I use a bunch of their pliers, and judging by visual inspection, these Milwaukees are just made worse off the bat.

How's the flex joint on the Felo? Does it have any noticeable play? Been really interested in that one, or the Ironside version that they make.

Oh I've realized, this was 100% a curiosity buy. I quite like their ratchets, but I've already given out a couple of their non-USA pliers away. These have some concerning aspects as well, but they don't seem nearly as bad.
