what are some tools that were worth the price tag?

[Mikegh]

Just replaced damn near all my tools

Spent decent money on cutting and stripping tools and screwdrivers and cordless kit

A few things like auger bits I just buy cheap kits now , sharpen them and ---- them


Metal wear is 90% of it

Will be interesting in learning how you get on with this.

€17 megger

Seems to be ok, hooked it up to an old multimeter

500v/1000v readings were off on low battery, ok with different battery

Collapsing stool. Also have a 'standard Rectangular one but that does get as much use as this.

That's a good idea that.

That's a good idea that.

Certainly helps at second fix and testing

Was up on one of these collapsing ladders recently, didn't quite trust it

I think it's the 'collapsing' in the name that makes me wary

Got one of these today , not liking it yet

Dunno why they put all those extras on the handles of these gadgets , crimping and cutting

I have one of those , it lives in my spares box

Only time I use it is if you have a bunch of small flex cables to strip then it is quite good , you can shove up to 1mm flex in the jaws and it will pop off the outer sheath is one motion

I'll send it back most likely , might try an ergostrip for flexes

I use an ergostrip... it works well.. I wouldn't want to work without it now.
