Very rare to see anyone one site in a bib and brace overall these days except for the painters one but they don't count.

You are all brand slaves. Eclipse pliers @ about £15 per set. VDE drivers....used to be totally stanley back in the day but now i just pick up whats on offer if im nearing the end of the current drivers life...choose between ck wera or drapper....All do what it says on the tin. I so miss my 1st set of "Big boy's" pliers black handled eclipse...had them for easy 7 years before they fell down a hole that was too deep and narrow to consider retrieval..... To be totally honest I actually mourn the loss of a pair of pliers as it begins to feel like an extension of your hand...screwdrivers come and go lol...ima bit like that with hacksaws too....there is probably a name for my "illness" somewhere. lol
