Same boxes I have. Great for the money. Let me know when you make something fancy for them 😉

Probably going to have this as my mechanic tools so nothing too fancy.

Was getting a mix between general DIY bits etc and car bits so nice to have them segregated

Did you get the boxes direct? Also any chance of the Stl for the badge? I bought a Halfords box the other week that wasn’t advanced and it’s going to upset me 😅

Next time the tool truck guy is round, he needs to confiscate those and any other Knipex stuff till the t**t learns to pronounce the name right.

Like Ikea, Dacia and Hyundai, they need to f**k off with that bullshit.

I just found this on AliExpress: | 9pcs Flexible Hose Clamp Clip Pliers Set Swivel Jaw Flat Angled Band Remover Tool
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvyWC1E

£25 now but the price fluctuates.

 

[dann2707]

That's a proper bargain!

 

[Brigsy]

Cheap enough that. From experience, the flexi hose clamp pliers wont last long. Had a few break with barely any use.

About the same price on amazon iirc.

Edit - £15 on ebay

Usually end up twanging my fingers on them with waterpump pliers I need another set as i broke 3 cheapos on the bounce. My mate rates the snap on ones as reliable at howfuckingmuch to buy.

I broke a few amazon sets then bought a Sealey set that literally looks identical in every way and has lasted years! (although i need to use it this weekend so we know what's going to happen now!)
