Cheers don't suppose there's much advantage to knipex over CK


Was looking at the bahco but I dunno about the quality

Never used Knipex shears, but can't fault those made by CK - other than nipping a finger between the stops, once in a while.

Have Bacho 6" shears, but not used them - some guys swear by them, but they seem very small. Bahco quality seems to be less consistent than it once was and I think this is down to additional manufacturing locations. Made in Sweden is still generally excellent, but all bets are off for tools made elsewhere.
 

Finally got these as well for the impact driver , seems very cheap dunno is there diy versions of these, 2 months delay on them

Great bits. Not good for leaving a neat hole though
 
Dumb question how do I measure the size of my angle grinder , it's one of those 4" types but dunno exact size for new discs, there's a couple different sizes

Usually disks are 115mm or 125mm when new, but they get smaller with use... Same internal hole of 22.something mm.

Our grinder is for 115mm and the guard almost but not quite takes 125mm. Recently I was needing to cut a lock's tongue off as a friend had lost the keys to a door marked for fire use (two door to same room, on same corridor, different keys WTF?!) and I had to use a 125mm disk and no guard. DO NOT DO THAT! As well as the usual PPE (gloves, eye protection goggles, ear defenders) I was very, very, careful not to have any of my body in the line of fire if the disk shattered at 10,000 rpm and tried to exit via the far window.
