As an American electrician, yall have some good tools. Knipex and Wiha are both really nice hand tools. I sadly just invested in a bunch of Dewalt power tools a few months ago (the impact is already fucked, what’s up with that? I didn’t even drop it. My Milwaukee impact has been going strong for years and has survived multiple 30’+ falls…), it’s just a lot easier to find batteries etc, but maybe down the line I’ll update.
I’m on the fence with dewalt. Their tools are pretty cheap in comparison, but the batteries seem to be hit and miss. One hand drill i had i absolutely abused for years. It still works, it’s just not a precision tool anymore. Like i used it as a concrete mixer, and to drill 200mm holes into wooden floorboards.
Bosh is a absolutr winner for me. I had hilti power drills before and they were “good” but super expensive. Also i had one drill that i had for like 3 years, but only used it like 4 times to drill holes into concrete. It stopped working and i gave it to a hilti guy to see what’s up. He said it never got serviced and it should be every year, and the repair was more expensive than the new bosh drill i bought. That drill i used for 10 years or more now. I use and abuse it almost every day, it has never seen a drop of oil or a service or anything.
Also +1 for knipex. At this point everything not knipex is a waste of money to me. I already had a lot of knipex stuff, then i saw the video from the torque test channel (i think). And knipex was the only tool that passed the test.
