Yes sir. Those are worth every penny. The 3/8 is stout but the 1/2 is even better.

You should try Macs new 1/2. Lighter and alot more power then any other 1/2 I have used. On my to get list before the end of the year.

Got some more german goodness. Knipex soft hose cutter, Wera zyklops 1/4" ratchet and some wera locking extensions. Also got my first pair of grip ons to see if I like them. They are from spain though. Ill definatley be orderjng more of them. I like them much better than vise grips. Probably get the other two zyklops too. Pretty nice ratchets. I also ordered weras koloss ratchet hammer deal. I figured itll be nice out in the field or around the buildings.

Got a Fluke 88V automotive kit and some Load pro leads a little while back. Also got an IR thermometer from them.




Just got a Knipex Wire dismantler, been wanting a tool like it and once I finally figured out what they were I ordered one. Lifesaver on trailer wire and anything else like it.




Made a video for those who may be as confused as I was at first. A lot of brands offer them.

Meter with kit was $400 something iirc. If you need a meter for AC work versus automotive you will want something different like a 189 or 289 etc.

Dismantled was $45. Worth it in time saved and no more knicked conductors.
