How do you guys clean your tools?

Got some surface rust on my strippers. Just curious as to how you guys clean your tools? It’s the one tool I use daily and want to keep them clean

Thanks in advance!

Normal or what

Just bought a pair of 10” angled diags yesterday. Used them today at work and the handles have a slight wobble already. There’s also a little bit of blade gap is this normal please don’t eat me alive in the comments. I’m just asking a question. They cut great btw and i like them much more than the d240 whatever kliens i was using prior

Black Limited Editions

A few years back, the missus started buying me the limited edition Knipex tools for my birthday and Christmas. I’ve recently added a couple myself that were a little harder to find.

They’re some of my favourite tools, so I already had multiples of each. The limited editions are purely a collection that I eventually plan to display in the workshop.

Let me know if you can think of any others I could add to the collection.

Putting in work 😭😭

Should I get a replacement for my Knipex 85 01 250 or is this normal?

I just bought these Knipex 85 01 250 SmartGrip auto-adjusting pliers from Amazon.

I noticed the jaws/teeth don’t always completely close together. There’s a small gap at the top, like you can see in the pictures.

The mechanism is spring-loaded, so I’m not sure if this is just how these pliers are designed or if something is wrong with mine.

For anyone who owns the Knipex 85 01 250, is this normal?

Or should I get a replacement while I’m still within the return window?

First set of Chrome Knipex Cobras!

Have tons of Knipex and this is the first set of 250 mm chrome Cobras! I have to say they are impressive, putting them to work tomorrow! I really only have the pliers wrench in chrome and I think technically the Holiday 180mm are chrome too.
Do prefer the chrome?

Bought some twin pliers today and just realized the grips on the handle were backwards. Thought it was weird the pliers were backwards in the packaging haha.

Has anyone ever encountered this before? Never seen this.

13 78 8 SBA: Neat, but why would you need 1000V insulated wire strippers?

Simple question:

It's an awesome tool, but why would you need 1000V insulated wire strippers? Is anyone out there stripping live wires?

Rate this setup, the footprint is similar to an iphone pro max or Samsung ultra.

Contents: micro and standard bits, knipex cobra 125, mini ratchet with extender, 4mm bit adaptor, olfa slim utility knife.

Weight is approximately 200 to 300gm (i have no idea really)

How would you improve this setup and why?

A month ago decided to switch to Milwaukee

I had a mix of all the brands, one month ago i decided it is time to switch to Milwaukee... I am installing windows and building super yachts. I heard about Milwaukee addiction and figured out it is better to buy all the tools i need at once 😎😉. Like i can not find any other tools i need for my work on the official website. My Packout is barely holding all the tools in, i have to put them in exact order so it fits. 😅🫣 What do You think guys do i need anything more for window installation? Paid 4300eu/$4600.
