I have done a lot of electrical work over my time and I can tell you I have been impressed with the Milwaukee Hand Tools.
9" High Leverage Lineman's Pliers w/ Crimper (48-22-6100)
8" Long Nose Pliers (48-22-6101)
8" Diagonal Cutting Pliers (48-22-6108)
#1 Phillips - 3" 1000V Insulated Screwdriver (48-22-2211)
#2 Phillips - 4" 1000V Insulated Screwdriver (48-22-2212)
1/4" Slotted - 6" 1000V Insulated Screwdriver (48-22-2221)
3/8" Slotted - 8" 1000V Insulated Screwdriver (48-22-2223)
These are what in my tool bag plus a few more things. I don't use Insulated pliers, but I do use Insulated Screwdriver because sometimes you have to adjust things that are live.
a roughly 3 minute intro before even getting to the product review.... and I must say it was INCREDIBLY WELL ARTICULATED. Nice job TUP. My father was a tin-knocker (worked with sheet metal) and I still have a few of his screwdrivers and wrenches years after he passed on.
+SoCalDaveL Thanks a bunch! I was initially worried that the intro was too long, but I thought the message was fitting for this particular video.
as an industrial electrician doing a lot of live troubleshooting, i view insulated tools as disposable. when used in a professional setting, the insulation is susceptible to getting worn or damaged, which renders them unsafe and useless. the only way i could see insulated tools being heirloom worthy would be if they're only used lightly and as necessary for their practical purpose in a home owner setting. i love the quality of feel of wiha drivers, but i'll stick to knipex for my pliers. good video!
90% of my work is with either a ph2 phillips, small terminal flat blade or a medium/large size flat head. Wiha hands down are the best screwdrivers you can get as a sparky mine cop a flogging in a harsh environment and ive only managed to break one from my own doing, the pliers on the other hand, chanel lock are the go. There made in the states cost me around 50aud for a pair and havnt failed me yet. Plus they have the non-insulated crimper on the end and finger guards as an added bonus.
When I started working in my field 25 years ago. I started buying Klein tools because that’s all my coworkers were using.
Years later I got some wiha tools and I prefer them over my kleins. Now days whenever I need something new. I check for wiha before checking Klein or Wera.
I'm a huge WERA fanboy, also a german tool manufacturer. My tools are the Wera Zyklop Ratchet, with a huge bits and nuts set from wera, a small Knipex needle nose pliers, a "Würth" cutterknife (also famous for screws) and three kind of Wera Kraftform Plus screwdriver.
Greets from Berlin
I love the tools passed down from the previous generation. My grandfather passed some on to my mother, and I have some of them now. New tools can be great too, though! My ideal 7 piece tool set: my mother's 6-inch needle nose pliers (I love how they feel in my hand and know what to expect from them), my own "regular" flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, my grandfather's wire cutters, my own cheapo "duckbill" pliers, and my Stanley mini screwdrivers.
As a time served electrician i can say these do the job perfectly. Also the 10000V rating isn't to be scoffed at either, while most people will never get past 230V (UK side) the time where over 1000V come in to play these will save you from getting a shock. Some companies also do a Insulated Wrench Set and Socket Set which i would also get for that just incase factor.
The reaction of the baby when the driver extended priceless. Great video nice tools.
+Abel guy Haha! I agree. She now loves seeing me open it, like a Jack In The Box. That was the first time she saw it though in this video.
Excellent video as always. The intro rang especially clear in my head, being of the younger generation (in my twenties). It's nice to maintain an era passed down through the generations. Not only do physical items get passed down, but memories, experiences, and lessons. Thank you for the reminder! My ideal set is one 6in plier, two lengths of needle nose (6&8in), an 8in wire cutter, socket wrench, Philips and flathead driver of any size.
Nice transition from the photo to the zoom out... the things you notice when you're a video editor . Great stuff as usual will look into getting some of these, quality tools built to last are hard to come by nowadays.
+Canadian Prepper Thanks a bunch! Yeah, I liked how that particular segment turned out. I'm really glad that you noticed it as a fellow video editor. I don't have the skills to do nearly the great editing that you do in your videos, so it is very flattering to hear that compliment from you.
I definitely agree that it's important to purchase long term tools!
For me tongue and groove, diagonal cuters, slip joint pliers and the first set of pliers you had there are the most important tools in all around working with electronics and garage work.
I applaud the idea of heirloom tools and hope to grow my collection. One place to look, yard sales and the like.
My 7 piece set would include-
8" Channel lock
8" Needle nosed pliers
#1 Phillips head screwdriver
#3 Phillips head screwdriver
1/4" Flathead (slotted) screwdriver
1/2" Flathead (slotted) screwdriver
Wire stripper/cutter
Totally agree with you! I have been collecting tools, good quality tools for the past few years with in mind to pass down to my kids, and hopefully to their kids. Ah.... getting a little emotional writing this comment thinking about how my tools will be used in the generations to come! Keep up the great videos!
+Daniel Krishnan I completely understand. I got a little emotional during the filming of that segment of this video. I was imagining what they would think or say if they watched this video 30 years from now.
Great review as always, and I love the "heirloom tools" methodology. Buy cheap, buy (at least) twice!
My ideal tool set:
Wera VDE No.6 Phillips & Slotted/Flathead Screwdrivers: A fantastic pair of insulated, laser-tipped screwdrivers
Knipex 180mm Cutters: Heavy-duty double-hinged forged steel cutters - No messing around!
Stanley FatMax Retractable Utility Knife: A little cheaper, but incredibly useful and makes finding new blades easy
Draper 225mm High Leverage Combination Pliers: Great soft-gripped pliers, and 1000V rated - Because why not?
Klein Straight-Claw Hammer: I personally prefer straight-claws, and this one has a fibreglass shaft to boot
Bahco 15in Adjustable Spanner: Gotta have a good spanner! This one's precise enough, and will last a lifetime.
Dan LA I know you posted this 3 years ago. But I’ve screenshot’ed your comment. You clearly know good tools! I’m be using these in my kit :)
The expression on the baby is great. And I had never heard of Wiha until your reviews, I was and am a Craftsman and Snap-on tools guy. Ideal 7 piece for me is Long needle nose, a slotted 6, phillips 1 and 2, a flashlight, a wire cutter, and a 7 inch adjustable wrench.
+Mark Judah She was SO cute in that scene. It was the first time she had seen that tool and was blown away with it. I like the old Craftsman Tools and LOVE my Snap-on's.
You are amazing! I totally agree on the quality stance and I can't tell you how many crappy made in China tools I've bought and only use a few times before they break. I believe that the intention of those cheap tools is purely a temporary piece to get you through a moment and the tool is then disposed of. It really bugs me. Then I found a Knipex plier and I was so impressed with the quality, fit and finish and design and even the ergonomics and see them as heirloom functional art of a high degree. If I ever get kids I will do as you do and try and I still the notion of long lasting quality. To me the biggest issue is how temporary most people today see things. I remember my parents buying a Fisher turntable and stereo system in the early 70's and they paid an unheard of $200 for it. That thing was still fully functional 4 years ago when they sold it at s garage sale when they moved to a condo. $200 and it lasted at least 40 years. Today, kids will receive a $500 iPhone every 3 years.
using a right quality tool makes it confident to have your work place a quality environment. Using a quality tool makes your job, work place and equipment safe and not damaged. Often using low quality tool damages the equipment end up spending lots of money to replace them and cost for down time extra. Use high quality tools and Wiha can be counted for that. Right tool for the right job!
Thanks for the review. I agree with you about the Pliers made in Vietnam, which is why I am typically hesitant to buy any Wiha pliers over the Knipex equivalent.
Thanks a bunch! Knipex makes fantastic pliers. I usually go Wiha or Wera for screwdrivers and Knipex for pliers.
It's not so much that the tools are made in Vietnam as much as the Wiha is still marketing them as Wiha GS . My experience is they are better than most Asian products. But considering the labor market they are extremely over priced.
In essence Wiha is pocketing huge profits based on their German Name and Reputation!
The VDE pliers and cutters are made in Switzerland, screwdrivers in Germany
Baby tool carrier, I dig it.
I reckon my 7 tools would be:
-Klein 6" #2 Phillips
-Klein 6" 3/16 flathead
-Channellock 10" pump pliers
-Klein long nose multi purpose tool (strips wire, crimps connections, shears screws)
-Klein 9" high leverage side cutting fish tape pulling plier
-Estwing hammer (there's no true substitute for a hammer)
- Klein 8" adjustable wrench
Can an insulated screw driver like wiha can be magnetize and de magnetize using klein magnetize and de magnetizer. I need to buy wiha 32092 insulated screw driver but want to magnetize it and de magnetize depending from situation. Thanks from Phillipines.
GREAT VID!! My EDC set is 7" combo pliers/6" long nose pliers/6" diag. cutters/10"adj.box pliers/10"adj. wrench/10pc.2"-2.75" slotted,phillips,torx, bit pack with 1/4" t handle magnetic bit holder/3 t handle nut drivers 1/4,5/16,3/8 has worked for me .
I like this set, could come in handy. I do wiring in vehicles, my ideal 7-piece tool set would be sharp tip needle nose pliers, wire crimpers, wire strippers, Phillips head screw driver large and small, and flat head screw drivers large and small.
I got the set with 13, awesome buy because it negated the need for me to also buy a jewelers set. I didn’t need a variety of very small sizes I just needed something, the 13 set checked the boxes!
Thank you for the very informative videos! I like the philosophies behind your recommendations
my (amateur) 7 pc hand tool selection would be: vise grips, needle nose pliers, crescent wrench, #2 robertson stubby screwdriver, wood chisel, hacksaw & 6" combination square.
I definitely agree with purchasing quality tools, most of which also come with an amazing warranty as well! Many times I find myself buying the cheap ones thinking I will only use it a couple times then end up having to replace it anyway.
I can't believe you'd give that away. A "perfect" tool kit would 8" Knipex mini bolt cutters,7" Knipex plier wrench,7" vise grips,a small pry bar the kind with a sharp wide thin blade,a multi bit ratcheting screwdriver,Wiha precision screwdriver set and a trusty leatherman wave
Great job!
About a year ago I purchased a very similar set, but it came with different screw drivers for low voltage DC work. I really really enjoy them.
You should check out on Amazon the Elenco Radio Kits. Practice your soldering skills now & build your own prepper radio.
To clarify your confusion about the Screwdriver sizes: Wiha is german and this kid was initially designed for the german market. As a german electrician, I never needed such a beefy screwdriver like your Klein for anything other than prying cases open. For which you don't want to use expensive insulated drivers.
As an electrical tech I can say these are some great tools. I prefer Milwaukee but have a couple of Wiha precision screwdrivers.
I'm also very much into the German tools. Wiha and knipex are top of the line. As far as my ideal 7 tools set: knipex pliers wrench, knipex cobra, wiha drivers, Klein linesman, knipex dikes, knipex Raptors and Snapon duckbill pliers
Funny "baby tool carrier" I have made sure that my dad's best tools are handed down to me.

Great review, and great tools. Just a heads up to other viewers, insulated tools are not meant to protect the user from electrical shock, they are to prevent shorting live parts to adjacent grounded parts. In the rare instances you are doing work that actually warrants insulated tools, you should a licensed electrician, and be wearing appropriate PPE.
And even though I don't condone it, a standard pair of pliers will prevent the average Joe from getting zapped while working at home.
I have a lot of tools from my dad and with my chef knifes witch I have owned for 30 year's now will no doubt will be past to my son's. It's true designed /made in the same country helps for better quality, well on some.
+Garry Doubleday That is so cool that you have your father's tools and knives for that long now.
Quality can definitely be key when it comes to tools of any kind. Thanks for sharing!
6:58 Did you stick your screwdriver into 120VAC 200A service line lug or is that like a sub panel or soemthing?
1. Forest Axe (the medium size axe)2. Folding saw or bucksaw3. Fulltang knife4. Bowl knife 5. Awl 6. Hand drill bits (not sure what these are called specifically, or i know, but just can't come up with the name atm :/ )7. On the fence about the last choice, so i will go with Knipex Cutters so i can deal with it and move on... get it ;DNon bugout related tools, most used by me:1. Set of small precision screw drivers (both Phillips and flat), so much stuff has a need for these these days.2. Set of medium size screw drivers (both Phillips and flat), hardly ever use large ones, and small ones only if 'precision size', medium general works on all I need to screw.3. Drill with drill bits4. Hammer5. nr. 12, 13, 15, 16 wrenches (with open side and ring of the same size), sometimes use smaller ones like 8 or 9; think in all honesty I would rather have 8 to 13 then have 12 to 17 mainly because 'nr 6'.6. Groove pliers (because everything that I can't fit with my wrench-set, due to say ridiculous use of non metric sizes (who uses non metric these days!!), I grab the groove pliers and make short work of them. This is my goto 'wrench' if all else fails...7. A small diagonal cutting plier, I had one from my granddad. Solingen steel, german made, I wore out the pivot due to heavy abuse when I was a kid/teen/young adult, cutting metal wires not suited for the size of the pliers, but it worked, wore out the pivot before it nipped the cutting edges! Unlike the crap I bought later on in life that nipped on even the simplest piece of metal wire other than say a single strand of cupper :( ... if you can get anything that says 'Solingen Steel' on it, in say a garage sale, do not be a fool and pick it up if it works. That stuff is truly indestructible (well unless you use it by standing on with say 45kg just to cut some steel wire you can't otherwise cut, and do that repeatedly in life as you grow up and gain weight, then yes, it fails in it's weakest point, but otherwise) yes I know now I should have used bullnosed pliers, but we didn't have those, and that thing cut everything like butter if you applied enough force! ... sigh, quality tools, it's like having a slice of heaven!
+Dutch Courage holy bejebus, tnx youtube, I took great effort in making those two comprehensible formatted lists !! :S :(
another great video. My 7 piece tool set would consist of 8 or 10 inch ChannelLocks, 7 inch Crescent wrench, 6 inch needle-nose pliers, some Vise grips, 4.5 slotted and PH2 & PH3 screwdrivers
Nice set TUP. I too am guilty of buying cheap made in China tools. My ideal set would include:7” end cut nippersTongue & groove pliers (channel locks)6” adjustable wrenchNeedle nose pliers#2 standard screwdriver#2 Phillips screwdriverRazor knife.All insulated and stainless steel. I live on a boat here in Seattle and everything that can rust will rust so you can't really keep good tools on the boat. They do make some tools that are a double chromed and even stainless but they are expensive!
As always, great review. If you consider this set heirloom tools you should hold on to them and pass them down to one of your kids. They would love them not just for the quality but also for the sentimental value they hold coming from you. But, if you insist on giving them away, my ideal 7 piece tool set would include an 8" combo pliers, 6.3" long nose pliers, 6.3" diagonal cutter, 3mm slotted screwdriver, 4.5mm slotted screwdriver, #1 phillips screwdriver, & #2 phillips screwdriver all insulated made by Wiha. LOL
Why is this video making me cry?! My ideal set would have pliers to help with working on my car. Pulling tabs and such. A nice screw driver for replacing screws for hanging my cool local urban art pieces. Tiny screw driver for replacing the cabinet handles in my bathrooms.
+Tonic Lime Haha.... To be honest, it made me a little emotional too after watching that intro segment. I normally don't get as reflective in my videos.
I've never heard of Wiha. It's nice to learn of new tools. My 7 piece set would be;
Klein Lineman pliers
Klein Skinning knife
Klein square shank flat blade screwdriver
Estwing Lineman hammer
Ridgid Fibreglass stick tape
Jet 10" Cresent wrench
Jet 12" Cresent wrench
For me it's Knipex pliers and Wiha screwdrivers. IMO Knipex handles feel better and I really like how the pliers feel very light (it's very important when you use it all day)... it's basically the slimmest design you can probably get while staying tough. But Wiha no doubt best screwdrivers.
I too really like Knipex pliers and Wiha screwdrivers.
It’s funny you should mention an old hammer. I have a hammer passed on from my grand father, to my father and now to me. Whenever I use the hammer I imagine my grandfathering working away with it, or remember seeing my dad using the same hammer.
Very cool! If old hammers could talk, they've probably have a lot of good stories to tell.
Enjoying thee videos. I appreciate your attention to detail.
7 Piece Tool Set:
1) 8" Standard flat head screwdriver
2) 8" Standard phillips head screwdriver
3) 10" combination wrench
4) 8" dikes
5) 10" channel locks
6) 8" needle-nose pliers
7) Utility Knife
Both of my grandfathers where tradesmen and I have some very nice but weird tools from then that still work and i love showing them off. I am with you on heirloom tools. You only need a few really important tools, I have some very nice carpentry tools that I will hand down to my son one day. Where they are made is very important to me to I like Klein, Wera, Stanley, and a couple others depending on the type of tool and its jobs.
These are in my GHB which is at keep at my desk or in my car depending on where I am plus i also keep a 14-1/4 in Fubar® Demolition Bar till i think i will switch over to the Lil Trucker:
#2 Phillips is a must
i carry a 4 as well
8" pliers,
1/4 inch flathead
8" dykes
10" ajustalbe wrench
10" channel lock
Voltage Tester i have one cant remember who it is made by but it was needle noses with a lite in the handle if you got to close to a live wire
6:58 I'm still wondering if the power was dsiconnected at the meter when you were poking around that service connection. Looks super dangerous!
The sizes for the screwdrivers represent the most needed sizes for electrical stuff in private homes, offices buildings and smaller production gear - at least in Europe, especially Austria. A friend of mine, an electrian by trade, told me that with the combination plier he will be able to do most of his work
+Michael Prazak Good comment, Michael. The screwdrivers work great for me, as I work more with computers than anything with larger screws.
That screwdriver was magnetic tip?
Great Video! Will be looking into these more. I like the idea of tool heirlooms. for the 7 pcs set I would go with a short mini hammer, long needle nose pliers, Groove Plier, Side Cutter Plier, last 3 to be 2 flat drivers and a philips. Idealy I would want 3 different size for each type of driver but it is only a seven pcs set. Thanks again for the great videos.
Always enjoy your videos Sir. My 7 tools would be waterpump pliers, regular pliers, adjustable wrench, needle nose pliers, diagonal cutters, slotted screwdriver & phillips screwdriver.
Great video. I have some of my grandfathers tools and some of the tools he bought me when I was a teenager. Both he and my father drilled the importance of quality tools into me from an early age. I think there is a place for inexpensive tools, but there is nothing more frustrating then a screw driver tip breaking or a handle spinning on the shank when you need to use it.
Picking 7 tools is tough. If I were going to go with this style kit I would say 8" Klein diagonal pliers, #3 Phillips, flat blade screw driver, 6" knippex cobra slip joint, 16 oz hammer, utility knife, and a Stanley measuring tape.
I have been very fortunate to have my Father and Grand Father who bought good tools to begin with. S&K, Mac, Snap-on, Craftsman, Crescent, Proto, and Channel-Lock have been in our garages ever since I can remember as the kid holding the drop light.My kit would be a 8" Crescent, 10" Channel-Lock Pliers, Large Flathead Craftsman screwdriver, 4 & 6 Phillips Craftsman Screwdrivers, a Snap-on Double Faced Mallet and a Long Nose Vice-Grip Pliers.
good review on the set and pros and cons of it, i agree with your assessment on the cons of set..... I'm an electronic / electrical field engineer and these are the tools i use the most as far as hand tools go.
craftsman flat head screwdriver : 9" x 3/16"
craftsman phillips head screwdriver : #2 x 8"
Klein Tools 8-Inch High-Leverage Diagonal-Cutting Pliers-Angled Head
Irwin Tools GrooveLock 8-Inch V-Jaw channel lock pliers
Craftsman 5/16 Inch Nutdriver
Craftsman 1/4 Inch Nutdriver
Craftsman 6" crescent Wrench
I love the craftsmanship of Wiha and Knipex...I need a good set for IT.
cool video as always , was wondering what kid prepper was explaining lol . my 7 piece tool kit would have a flat blade screw driver a number 2 Phillips ,side cutters , channel lock water pump pliers , needle nose pliers , locking pliers (vise grip) and last would be a adjustable wrench (cresent). i have used this brand of tool before and you are right they feel great in the hand and very well made . look forward to more videos
Such a smart and forward-thinking man. Your children will appreciate this.
+Debra Kennedy Thank you so much, Debra. I hope they do.
Another good review
The 7 piece kit crow bar Philip screwdriver flat head screwdriver needle nose pliers hammer talk wrench and Spirit level all made stahlwille very good make German engineered
the thinner screwdrivers are for inside electrical cabinets. my on the belt tool pouch at work contains Wera lg. handle multi-bit screw driver. snap-on folding aliens. a small tweeker screw drive for adjusting photo eye`s. kline med. needle nose pliers. kline lg. wire cutters. knipex 8 inch pliers. and snap-on pen pick up magnet. beats pushing my 275 lbs. tool cart everywhere.
I would also highly recommend the Proxxon Industrial tools. For example this one.. 75-piece super safety and specialty bit set. Also german made. I have also these exact Wiha screwdrivers but the proxxon has a better... how to say it.. geometry ? I don't get so tired when i have to unscrew many screws as with other screwdrivers.
I like Harbor Freight Tools . They have a bad reputation for being low quality and cheap. But ever since my company did a job using die grinders and the $250 Dewalt would last as long as the $25 Chicago Electric I was sold on Harbor Freight . I have to change out the bearings on my 2011 Equinox and I got the professional slide hammer for $59.00 and used a 20% off coupon and got a free screw driver set that has a life time warranty for making a purchase. The savings I get from companies like Harbor Freight enable me to be a prepper. Nothing against your sponsors but if you are prepping on a budget tools that will do the same job are available at Harbor Freight for fraction of the cost.
The 7 piece kit:
Knipex 10 inch comfort grip pliers wrench

Nice review. I too am starting to upgrade my tools...leaning toward Knipex brand, but would like to try some Wiha's.. Difficult to choose just seven tools as there are innumerable scenarios, but I would like to see a dedicated wire stripper, delicate needle nose pliers, angled/surface cutting side cutters. Adjustable pliers, Linesman pliers, two mid sized screwdrivers; one phillips, one slotted.
Hello! Liked the video, wish I could afford that price but they're much more expensive in. The U.K.!
My ideal 7 piece tool kit:
2 Phillips screwdrivers, a size 2 and size 0
1 flat head, size 4
A claw hammer
A tape measure
That fancy knipex adjustable plier that can replace anAdjustable wrench
Gorilla glue. Love that stuff I use it to fix everything.
Thanks for the opportunity!
What was the green wera extending driver model? Thanks
Felo make great tools to. Did you know Orbis? its a Knipex Co Brand but i don't know about the Quality.
Want to buy Wera "Schraubmeißel"(screw-chisel) nearly indestructible i think!
I recently discovered this brand. And I must say, I am impressed with their screw drivers. I use the slim end insulated screw drivers. I'm not too impressed with their pliers, but I will say that they are worth the money.
I agree. Their screwdrivers are fantastic.
Shame that wiha"s cutters/pliers are not german made , i"d def. pay a bit more......................
Wiha is a German manufactor of screwdrivers like Wera. They don't produce tools like pliers, they buy them from OEM manufactors. My tipp when it comes to professional German pliers/cutters buy Knipex. They still produce in Wuppertal/Germany.
That's true! Go for genuine German quality! Only the best will do! 🇩🇪
+Holger Esser I do LOVE my German made tools. Knipex and Wera are top notch "heirloom tools" as well, in my opinion.
Good call with generational tools. There are some tools my dad and I have that are over a hundred years old and still work perfectly. Quality and proper maintenance.
my ultimate load out would be a good utility blade medium phillips, flat head driver. 10 mm spanner 12 mm spanner 14 mm spanner and a 17 mm spanner
Then you also could include a 13mm Spanner and 8mm if I remember correctly.
Japanese Cars/Motorcycle mostly have 8 / 10 and 13mm on stuff like Brakes and so on.
Hi can you tell me the diference betwen wiha and proturn screwdriver please?
I've watched this vid about six times over roughly 2 yrs... I finally came back to it one last time because I bought a new BOV/ AKA DAILY Driver. Needed something lightweight, quality, and WiHa is wheee I landed because of your vid.
Btw, the first few min of this vid are Great. Watched it with my two young sons and it kind of hit me.... what do I have to pass down to them???
Your comments regarding quality are spot on!
Good video. I have seen the other video where you reviewed the bolt cutters and after watching it, I add that to my Amazon wish list and hope to buy them sometime this year. I really like the idea of passing on good quality tools to your children and hope to do the same with mine. I can't say what 7 piece tools I would like to have because I'm very new to this. I hope you keep reviewing tools on your channel.
+WHATITDEW69 Thank you! I would definitely like to do more tool reviews. There are so many good ones out there. I like recommending awesome products, whether that be specific to prepping or just great gear in general.
Are klein tools made to last, top shelf?
Great video thanks if I don't win I'm gonna be looking into getting this set because I have no insulated tools as of yet, also great idea handing down tools to the next gen, that being said my tools start of with 1. my Grandpas screw driver which is a multi set made out of brass and each different size unscrews out of the bigger handle, 2. Pliers 3. Needle nose, 4. No. 2 Robinson screw driver 5. Crescent wrench 6. Knife 7. No. 2 Philips screw driver, the screw drivers I have now are Klein and seem to be working great so far but would like to know where you purchased these ones?
Great review .... And i also love the way you think and feel about your tools ,I agree started getting rid of all my cheap tools and investing in generational tools it iz fascinating .....Great view....
Nice set.. My 7 piece set I think would be: two philips, two slotted, needle nose, slotted pliers, wire cutters.
Yes, I agree, I want to hand down my tools to my sons or my nephews,
You will be proud to be electrician if you have electric tools. 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
They do take beating and held up very well to date great choice and Klein are as well Sir Cliff
It's pronounced Vee-Haa :-)
The W has a V sound in German.
I was about to say this but I thought it was a little rude lol. Wima (capacitors) also another name that's often mispronounced.
Another brand is WAGO, should say WA-GO not WAY-GO like it's often wrongly pronounced.
Best Wishes from the Land of wiha and knipex 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
+taxlawSEAL Steuerberater Thank you! I can't wait to return to Germany. I was last there in 2007. Loved the beer!
I like that tool set or maybe a adjustable wrench with it
+Bigc Lawn That would be a nice addition!
1:40 best part of the video.
I'll make sure to send a link to this video to my boss at my job (I'm an electrician in the U.S. Navy.) Great review, Cliff!
+BlackShinobi420 Awesome! Thanks a bunch for sharing this video. Also, thank you for your service to our country! It's so cool to hear from viewers who serve in the military.
Can you tell me what that screwdriver at the beginning is? The one you have out with the snatley.
As an Electrician of now a day.. were not working anything HOT!!( NFPA 73E Standards) PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON THE INSULATION OF THESE TOOLS!!! They must be kept clean and free of Cuts! They also should be TESTED EVERY YEAR!!!.. 8 inch pliers are the medium. most of us carry 9in pliers, AKA,. Sides, 9's etc etc
you dont work hot as a electrician? every single job ive had we worked hot unless it was brand new construction also these "1kV" can insulated up to 22kV on average... its really a waste when electrical tape is rated for what 600v by itself
Prepping2endure well yeah of course you dont work on anything hot. Your probably a residential electrician. I work at a gold mine in the industrial field and we work on hott circuits every day
I would love a set of wiha tools. I'd like to see a pair of channel lock pliers in the set.
You always have great videos! I'm small, so to you some of these tools look small in your hands but they will probably be huge in my hands. LOL! If I were to pick 7 tools that I would consider ideal, I'd probably pick: (1) Needle Nose Pliers, (2) Side Cutters, (3&4) Flat Head Screw Driver (small and med), (5) Philips Head Screw Driver, (6) Crescent Wrench, (7) Hammer. I feel my list is boring compared to the others. But that's what I'm sticking to, even in my preps! Um... Go Seahawks! :D
My ideal set would definitely be this Wiha set
7:30 ouch. use a wrench for that
7 tools is not a lot to chouse from but i whould take a stainless knife a pair of needle nose a combo pliers a flat head a philips a hacksaw and a metal file.
Sir, quality, and far, by its earned reputation: heirloom-ness, definitely WIHA brand; and stated: made in Germany.
Their Pliers are not made in Germany. Only their screwdrivers are.
