anyhow no matter how old we get our humor only gets more devious and sophisticated.

Yep my ck drivers have done me proud, good quality will last you years.

Suprisingly I got a set of screw drivers from Aldi (CK look alikes). Seem OK, yet to give them a good thrashing but for the money they certainly look the business!!

p.s. Im not some cheap skate that does my shopping at Aldi, I just happened to get lost in the carpark and stumbled into the store by accident

I'm no cheapskate either but do like a bargain. I have bought some good work gear from Aldi, including their diamond core set... amazing gear for the price.
Turns out however that the screwdriver set is worth the fiver I paid for it and not a penny more. I think they make them out of the out of date cheese.

if you can get hold of the workzone multitool from aldi they're a bargain. both the 230V and the cordless. awesome tool. as good as bosch any day.

I'm a knipex man with the odd ck in the bag

 

[mrloy99]

me too..lol!! I havn't taken them out of the box yet but they look the ticket for less than a fiver,can't go wrong.
And I am a cheapskate but dont shop at aldi...co.op orange stickers all the way.

Another vote for knipex, tried most makes and they have stood test of time in my experience.

This is the best electrician's tool.

Ever since sars has joined the forum markc has changed, he is now totally in a world of his own lmao

maybe this is just the first tool that she bought and she sent him a pic of it whilst they were texting...

Quite a sucker for a ck all my pliers and snips are ck and have lasted years and also like bahco got the big orange ones and they are solid. Also they're shifters are fantastic.

Weidmuller is my brand of choice, then Wera, Whia, Knipex.

 

[uksparks]

Anything that grips, crimps or squeezes I use Knipex, all screwdrivers are Wera Kraftform, all power tools are Bosh, drill bits I like Dewalt, other hand tools like saws and tapes I like Standley Fatmax, and to carry it all in I have 1x Stanley Fatmax tote and 2x Veto pro Pac OT-XL bags.

Oh and anything like meters, I only buy Fluke.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

 

[Pete999]

Anything shiny and not cheap, that's if the firm is paying for them

What work are you planning on doing. A set of screwdrivers ain't going to be very useful on a day to day basis.

Doing basic domestic electrician's work.
