I often wonder what would become of Germans if they were allowed to continue the quality they proved in industry but war destroyed much of their ability to do things they way they used to for local needs. Mono-culturism promoted by the parasitic entity pushing a false spam-de-mic, propaganda, sodom-mites and printing legal tender is actually the real disease of mankind. Here in Japan war happened before Men could use their minds for the industrial revolution so they rely on precision machines and organized systems to make sure Men are not made responsible for their own thinking or abilities. When social credit systems come into play the System will gain again from Mankind and not the other way around.

I've been a fan of Knipex for nearly 15 years. There's a reason everyone copied their design. 8-10 years ago, they were the only pliers that looked like that. (Edit: in the USA, anyway) Great review, as always!

oh man, those pliers wrenchs are amazing! I never knew thats what they are called, I always call them parallel grippers lol. I don't use them too often, but for one very specific task, they are hands down the absolute best (and sometimes only) tool for it. the only downside is they are a little hard to adjust. For normal stuff the quick adjust of the irwin is my favorite as well.

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time." "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" The Book of Truth

Excellent reviews, as always. I was quite impressed with the Doyle. I've had run into issues before where the jaw width is too much. Every now and again you need one that is narrow.

I've seen many tool reviews. Yours are the best. SUGGESTION: Oscillating multitools. There is a lot of heat here, but very little light. I've watched at least a half dozen reviews on these, but they range from "RAH, RAH! Brand Z Fanboy!" To non-systematic efforts, which, though they try, just are not what you do. Nobody appears to test them systematically as to longevity, usability, cutting ability, ease of handling, value for price, etc. You would. So. A request.

Im a Hikoki fan myself, but my multitool of choice is a Fein. Went for the Hikoki, but the dealer advised my the Fein. Held them side by side, and the feeling of the Fein won me over in an instant. Much less vibration from the Fein. So comfort wise the Fein easily wins over Hikoki, and with the danger of vibration damage to muscle/tissue/fingers and hands I do think that a test would be hard to do, and maybe should be focused on comfort/vibration and maybe not outright performance.

I generally don't buy the super fancy, expensive LED flashlights but I have a number of different flashlights, usually around $10 to $12, a few at $20, And the Achilles heel of almost all of them seems to be electrical connections that that are press fit or loosely crimped, which oxidize a little and fail intermittently. The Springs in the battery holders or battery compartment are usually crimped very loosely to little metal plittle metal plates and even if they appear to be gold plated the contact at those points is invariably a little bit loose. I solder the springs to the metal plates (It is much easier to do this before you experience any battery leakage no matter how minor) and eliminate the intermittent connections. Ditto for the cylindrical 3 battery holders, solder the springs to the contact plates for fewer problems.

@goodun2974

@@somethingsomeonesaid6455 , the Achilles heel of most flashlights that use AA or AAA cells is battery leakage, and intermittent mechanical connections *by design* (even before leakage ocurs). First of all, one famous " copper top" brand is absolute crap nowadays. Secondly, batteries wired in series tend to leak when one battery is slightly different than the others (slightly used, slightly older, different batch, differing brands); It appears that the one battery with different characteristics or slightly lower voltage or different chemical makeup or at an increased stage of age-related degradation ends up functioning kind of like a resistor and overheats from the current of the other batteries passing through it. This phenomena is probably worse than anit is probably worse in any flashlight that has multiple modes such as high low and flashing because such flashlights are never truly off and invariably are passing a small amount of current through an integrated circuit's integrated circuit at all times which is how they remember what mode they were in when last switched on. This phenomena is probably worse than anit is probably worse in any flashlight that has multiple modes such as high low and flashing because such flashlights are never truly off and invariably are passing a small amount of current through an integrated circuit's integrated circuit at all times, which is how they remember what mode they were in when last switched on (and typically switch to the next mode in line, which is annoying). A flashlight with a true mechanical on/off switch and is off switch and just one single mode of operation, or where it has a separate switch to select mode's, might not draw a current all the time and perhaps the batteries will be less prone to leaking. Any review or evaluation of a flashlight should include how easy it is to get inside of it to clean corrosion from battery leakage. The little slide-in plastic cylinders that hold 3 batteries are definitely more convenient in this regard. Note that the springs in those battery holders, and indeed the springs in almost all flashlights, are often loosely crimped in place and have a mechanical contact at that point which will oxidize and become intermittent, especially if there is any battery leakage. Soldering the springs to the thrust plates will usually eliminate this problem, and even if the flashlight undergoes battery leakage later on you will find it much easier to clean the springs and contacts and get the device functional again. (White vinegar will foam away the visible corrosion but a pencil eraser or fiberglass bristle "scratch brush" may be necessary to polish the contacts). Anyway, do not mix battery brands or batches, and don't leave them inside a flashlight that is used only occasionally. If you have a good quality small soldering iron and good soldering skills, solder those springs! Clean the metal first,and the solder should flow more easily without you overheating and melting adjacent plastic.

Recently I got me a Knipex "pliers wrench" after pondering quite a while about buying a new wrench set. It was the best investment ever, I must admit. Perhaps it might be of interest to you too, since it is a very intelligent solution which saves a lot of time and tool kit weight, simply by combination of a wrench with a plumber's pliers.

Simple physics is why the Irwin brand was able to do the best job gripping with threaded rod, it failed with the very hard metals because they are cost-priced with materials. The others are slim because they are trying to conform to a relatively loose industry standard. Looks like the most common sizes are ~1/4-3/8" standard, ~7-10mm metric with Irwin being the only one close to 1/2" or almost 12.5mm.
