That's a pretty slick little ratchet!  Nice!   :-+

Agreed.  How have I made it this far in life without having one of those?!  I've got crowsfoot wrenches, but not that.  dammit.

I looked - didn't see it on Amazon.  If I was smart, I'd stop looking before I manage to find one somewhere, and by so doing save some $$$.  (So of course everyone here knows I'm going to continue my search later tonight, right?)

If it jams, force it.  If it breaks, you needed a new one anyway...

And I just dropped $470 on a Daniels crimper for mil type circular connector contacts for work.  And another $90 for the positioner to allow it to crimp said contacts.  It'll practically fit in the palm of my hand it's so small.  Glad it wasn't my money this time!

34401A with no power switch and more importantly a hole drilled through it from top to bottom. It may have other unknown missing parts as well.

I bought a new camera yesterday. Finally. And som gear a few week ago. I just love Knipex, they are like pokemon : Gotta Catch 'Em All  ;D

The Knipex costs a fortune!  :-//

They cost less than €20 and are worth every penny of it.

McBryce.

Generally speaking, the Knipex is very expensive stuff. For example, to pay $230 for a crimping tool which is supposed to be used a few times a year. That looks quite ridiculously.  :palm:
So, I preffer to buy something similar from Taiwan, not more than $40~50... for the same stuff.  :-+ I will most likely lose that somewhere at field than It will became worn or broken.

For those few times when I used to be on site using tools like these, I wanted to be 100% sure that the tool worked, because the next replacement tool could be several hours drive away. I can trust a Knipex tool, I can't trust a $40 knock-off to work when I really need it.


@TheSteve: Well if it doesn't work, you can always hang it on the Christmas tree as a decoration, maybe that's why the previous owner put the hole through it?

Only place I found them available in the States is on eBay by way of Japan.  A little too expensive for me I think.  :(

I've always been tempted to get a Cliff quick tester, they seem really useful to have, but I find the price way too high for a piece of plastic with 3 switches and a bulb.
