Love the socket belts hang them off from my veto tech LC outside of the bag and not one has came off. Worth every penny. Also nice to see electrical store in the local area( upstate NY) are starting to hold Wera in inventory.
FYI, they make special wrenches for coax F connectors. They’re T-handles that slip right over the cable so you can turn them in tight spaces. (And since they’re just bent sheet metal they don’t cost much.)
Ha! I just googled F connector tool and I see what you're talking about. I don't know why I never thought of that. Also I've never seen anyone use those. Thanks for the tip!
The sockets with the 11mm hex on top are also sold with the proto j61231/ Facom atcl.3.12pb/ Mac sbdr41sn(none of those have a ratchet for them but usag set does) and also tone has them in sets with a ratchet
Just an FYI for those interested in the Hazet 810bh bit holder it is not made in Germany. That said, as he mentions it is very nice and securely holders bits.
The Knipex and Felo wire strippers are both made by Jokari. I have the original Jokari version of the Felo one. They both go by the Secura type name, but different versions. Dont know if the Wiha one is Jokari as well because they dont have that design now.
HunGredy It seems to me that Jokari manufactures practically all of the plastic gun-style automatic and precision wire strippers sold by every tool brand in Europe, other than Weidmüller. I have the cheapest Jokari automatic stripper, and it works great (other than that I wish I’d gotten a slightly fancier model with an adjustable depth stop and blade depth adjustment, to allow for oddball wire with unusually thick or thin insulation).
I realized after uploading and watching it again this morning that I didn't give the Wiha bit holder its due credit. It is a nice bit holder. I had video of me locking in a nice PB Swiss bit to it, but for some reason ended up editing that part out.
bzeug I wanted to buy that same bit holder here at KC Tools but that bit is not available here in the United State, need to order on Amazon.com.de Germany Amazon.
I think German tool reviews did a review on the wera sockets and there was a lot of slop when attaching the sockets to the wera ratchet and other ratchets, I think the wera sockets are made in Taiwan, probably no difference than other sockets that are made in Taiwan as well....
Not sure. I need to see and use more examples of those other brands. I can say that my limited use of KoKen sockets has impressed me more than my WERA sockets. But that is subjective.
Regarding the groove offset: I’ve been trying to find authoritative information about the two main (western) bit styles, the C 6.3 and E 6.3 (the former being the ones with no major groove, the latter the ones with the 9mm offset groove). Alas, I haven’t been able to find any free copies of the ISO (former DIN) standard, nor even any descriptions of why one would choose one over the other. :/
I have also been frustrated trying to find documentation on the various standards as it seems to require a purchase. I would rather spend my money on tools.
@@bzeug I must have been thumbing this when I wrote it but meant traditional pliers. I like the no damaging pliers for coax connectors, non-marring - nice.
I realy don't like the belts and pouches Wera sell, because if you work in oil and dusty envoirment you never get it clean again. 😞 I think their stuff is more for dyers Greetings from Germany
@@kleinfeicht The shipping costs have gotten much higher maybe due to pandemic, not sure. I do find that on some German tool items still cheaper to pay shipping from Germany.
@@bzeug interesting must be some taxes which you "Avoid" I wanted to do the same with some Milwaukee Tools but thr taxes made it to overpriced than regular buying
Isn't it easier to just ask your buddy for the 14 mm socket....toss me my pink socket? Just don't get these rainbow-colored tool sets coming out... yuppies

The felo and the knipex and the wiha are made by Jokari these are just branded
The Wiha bit holder is a clic fix, it supposed to lock. Pull the clic fix forward then insert bit pull back the lock

bzeug do you want to sell that Wiha Bit holder?
No, keeping it.
Do you know what the broach depth is on the 3/8" drive Wera deep sockets?
I'll never understand peoples obsession with wera. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Good video mate
There's also a Wera 15mm deep 1/4 socket 👍
I think German tool reviews did a review on the wera sockets and there was a lot of slop when attaching the sockets to the wera ratchet and other ratchets, I think the wera sockets are made in Taiwan, probably no difference than other sockets that are made in Taiwan as well....
Yep I think you're right. I remember that video.
Wera производится в Чехии.
@bzeug what would you say which german brand makes best socketa and ratchets(hazet, wera, stahlwile, gedore, heyco...)?
Not sure. I need to see and use more examples of those other brands. I can say that my limited use of KoKen sockets has impressed me more than my WERA sockets. But that is subjective.
@@bzeug do you have some hazet hiper ratchets and sockets?
Very enjoyable vid. Thanks.
Who makes the best long screwdriver bits you're using with the Hazet bit holder? Can't make out brands in video either.
those are vessel brand which are Made in Japan. Have links on Japan page of my website. www zeug.com
You're missing the "original" Jokari wirestripper 😂
Just googled that. Very interesting pass through design. Thank you for the tip.

Who makes the Japanese cutter/ hold function that you use for zip ties?
TSUNODA here is the Amazon Japan affiliate link: amzn.to/3NAmYd5 Here is an Amazon USA affiliate link. amzn.to/3wKJrh5
I’m buying one because of you lmao
the 'joker' wrenches are NOT tough -- if dropped fromany height the internal ratchet ring will fracture
I use a star dark traditional pliers for scotch locks
Is that a Klein tool?
@@bzeug I must have been thumbing this when I wrote it but meant traditional pliers. I like the no damaging pliers for coax connectors, non-marring - nice.
14mm. Talk to any Japanese car or bike owner. You need a 14mm
I swear literally every single bolt in my MX5 is a 14mm
I realy don't like the belts and pouches Wera sell, because if you work in oil and dusty envoirment you never get it clean again. 😞 I think their stuff is more for dyers
