  • Knipex Wrench/Pliers

    Another great tool for when you don't have room to carry your entire set of wrenches. Basically a combination of channel lock pliers and open end wrenches. The jaws are parallel like a wrench, but where a wrench would slip on a worn nut, you can clamp the wrench even tighter with the lever action of the pliers. Nut size can be preset. Metric on the primary side (these tools are made in Germany after all) with inch sizes are on the reverse side.

    My son sent me these . . . things come full circle when the kid who used to "borrow" all your tools starts sending you new ones!

    BTW . . . just thinking of your meager tool collection Yoda Keith . . .

    Harbor Freight sells a very nice copy. Handy tool for many things.

        Looks like I have antiques as they don't make them any more and if I ever sell them for once I can make money Now this reminds me I need to find them and put then in the new truck. They were part of what I carried in the old truck.

        Keep trying Rob you have been pretty good at separating me from my $$$. I think the first was the terminal crimp set I got. Now if we can only get Canadian Tire to come to the States - great place to stock up during my visit up north.

          Yoda how about a set of Knipex Cobra XS? Cobras are very handy tools. The XS are 4” long and work great for things where you can barely get one hand into the area you are working or can barely reach. I have three pairs of Cobras in different sizes. Pricey, but worth it.

              I wonder what the Snap-On or Matco truck would charge to follow you for the week or so of traveling just in case you need tools.
