No Stahlwille?
I am dissapoint.

I think if Icon had better QA, they would be on average as good as Snap-On or Matco but as it is they're still pretty good for 1/4 the price. Imagine going into tool truck debt, oof

>Stahlwille
I remember them being in a PF test and for the price and the accolades of Germans on /diy/ the results were pretty underwhelming. Not bad but not great either. I'd have to check but iirc it performed far worse than knipex

you're the tool for making a 50th tool thread

Idk man I buy German tools for the dudes at work and snap-on for me personally the German stuff might test well but in real world use case scenario it kinda sucks


The Wera stuff strips quick, the handles kinda suck

Sockets aren’t great

This is a useless test because every single 1/2”F to 3/8”M adapter is going to snap as soon as you use man strength on a 1/2” drive tool.

I’d rather have a DeWalt snap on me than be using Wera and have a prolapsed anus.

What even is the point of a 1/2"->3/8" reducer. Most 3/8 sets i see start at 6mm and most 1/2 sets I see start at 10mm so there's only 3 sizes not in that overlap (9mm doesn't exist) and all 3 of those sizes are so small you'd either round them over or twist the head off just laying into it with a 3/8 ratchet, nevermind using an adapter to get big boy ratchet on it.

for me its laziness, if the adapter and 3/8 socket is closer to my hands than a 1/2 socket then away we go

if you're a Johnny-DIY poorfag that can't justify buying full sets with 75% overlap, which was me 12 years ago, adapters make a lot of sense. My only socket set was a mixed 1/4 & 3/8 set with a single 3/8 ratchet and adapters that only went up to 19mm. I couldn't justify a full 1/2 set so I bought a rail of impact sockets from walmart that covered 17mm to 24mm. I didn't even own a 1/2 ratchet or impact, just had a breaker bar, and I was afraid of breaking my only ratchet so I'd often use a reducer on the breaker bar to crack tough bolts on my truck.

It's like the big "manly" men who where football jerseys with another man's name pasted on it. Imagine wearing shirts with names of other men, written in all caps nonetheless. I won't even mention what their disgusting man-haircut wives typically look like kek

Holy cope.
