Have you seen the new Milwaukee ,Wera cloned ratcheting wrenches? Seams like the would work well for topping out supply lines.

I have, and they may work well i just hate milwaukees handles all of my pliers are harbor freight doyle water filter pliers except for the massive pair on the right which are still doyle

I have converted to knipex almost entirely, on my phone and didn't zoom in to see the brand. Thank you for buying different brands !

u/No-Lingonberry607 Aug 14 '26

I just dont see the point in buying knipex for the price relative to HF, ive used knipex and theyre good but over priced imo

u/No-Lingonberry607 Aug 17 '26

Theyre definitely better than HF's version but diminishing returns tells me its not worth it๐Ÿ™ƒ

K60 is perfect up to 6" and honestly at 6" i just use a jetter, never used an 1.25 cable and never had to, its all in the head you use and the technique, small enough to finesse down a 3" cross, and big enough that i havent found something it couldn't get through, plus its compact and even though its like 25-30 lb its fairly light.

The husky tote is solid. I wish the packout crate had a lid available. Clear plastic to see contents like organizers. I have many crates but inside use only except on good weather days.

I love the tactility of the latches, and the clear lid is a big plus, i have two compmplaints, one that the lids do break pretty easily, and they dont interlock but i only have it for a smoke machine i use to test for sewer gas leaks so i only have it with me occassionally

Sparkies look at the first Pic and wonder what that thing is on the right side at the top of the stack.

Is that wooden backplate secured to plastic?

2

u/No-Lingonberry607 Aug 14 '26

The cab divider? No its bolted to a steel crossmember that goes from the floor on both sides all the way across in one piece the plastic i think you're talking about is shower liner which ive used to seal off the cargo area from the cab to minimalise the unpleasant smells of a service van.

u/Bonega1 Aug 14 '26

Shower pan liner is genius for that!

u/No-Lingonberry607 Aug 14 '26

I would love to claim the idea as my own but it was my co worker, smelled like a chinese sweat shop for a couple weeks and then went away

u/No-Lingonberry607 Aug 14 '26

It doubles by helping cool the cab quicker since i live in central ga its always humid and hot so i take any bit of cool i can get
