I love getting new tools. Enough so I probably need another tool box. My newest editions. Knipex. Made in Germany. Replacing a so so Kobalt set I've had for years.

Not familiar with that brand; but being German I`m sure that they exceed my Snap-On. Waynr
 
Those are high quality tools.... I know they can handle it, but stay away from live wires with them, so you don't toast them like I do with mine..... on the other hand, they might save your life someday!!
 
I have a set of their snap ring pliers. Nice quality for sure.
 
Oh. I forgot that I have Klein tools for electrical work, They hold up pretty good to cut { demo } live wires. Wayne

Klein tools are definitely the go to for electricians. No matter which brand you use to cut live wires , always cut them one at a time.
 
Here is an earlier purchase. Knipex pliers. Horizontal jaws, easy to adjust and they lock onto bolt heads.

Menards carries Knipex. They had a 15% off all you could put in a bag. I bought a bunch.
 
I believe my cable cutters are Knipex. Very good. (aircraft cable that is)
 
Two premium brands in my opinion are Klien and Knipex.. Snap On guy sells their brand and I really think they are the same as knipex too.
 
I got a Klein multiple tip screwdriver for work, and it’s much nicer than the dewalt and Stanley ones I have at home. The shank is extendable to different lengths, high quality bits.

Picture of the latest tool purchased from Brewers; a dummy shaft (tube) for 4 speed assembly.
Not much to it but if it works better than the one I had that was a hair too short it will be worth it.

I bought a tool box at Harbor Freight. I have filled it with Tekton socket sets and wrenches. They are good quality for the money. I leave my Mac and Snap on tools locked in the big tool box, this keeps them safe and sound. I have been locking at rolling tool boxes for the 3 grandsons, some of the stuff at Home depot look pretty good

I hate to say it but the US General tool boxes are really nice.
 
Bought a couple of these for the kids for Christmas. The ratchets are very fine tooth and small sized. It comes with a bit assortment with storage in the handle.
