Suggestions for useful tools...

[nicebutdim]

Amazon have kindly given me £10 off £25 spend. I don't care much for tat, so figured it might as well go towards a new tool.

As I can't list every tool in my possession, I'd welcome suggestions for stuff that might not be immediately obvious, but very useful and worth having (in the region of £25-£50ish).

CK auto strippers.

Have a set - will have to be something that isn't obvious as I've covered those bases.

Have you got G clamps or similar. Or a telescopeic magnetic tool

Yes and yes.

Starting to realise this might not have been a great idea and a waste of people's time ?

Well give us something to do while the football on ?

Treat yourself to another sorter box you can never have enough

Do you have the Kewtech Lightmate kit? (I've got the cheaper TIS one but Amazon don't seem to do that!)

Feeling really bad about this thread now. Have four deep fatmax stackable storage boxes and a few of their smaller, lighter boxes.

Or a pair of slim long nose VIce grips.

Great shout!

Looked at them many times, but never pulled the trigger. Didn't realise TIS made a version as I'd only seen Kewtech and Socket & See.

Just noticed Amzon themselves are £10 more expensive than other sellers and the voucher can only be used on purchases from them ?

Knipex Installation pliers

I actually like the look of those and had been thinking about a new set of long nose pliers as my own aren't great. Fancied my first knipex tool, but don't like their long nose pliers - I like using that open serated section for bending the end of conductors, but Knipex don't have it. CK long nose look like my kind of pliers, but not sold by Amazon.

Those installation pliers have a narrow nose, open serated section (whatever it's called) and shears - pricey, but might treat myself to a pair.

Never entered my mind - another tool for the list, either now or in the near future.
