Down to £35 on Amazon, been wanting for a while but at £45 did not push the button. At £35 so took a deep breath and bought a set!

£35 on ffx for ages.

fair enough, never seen the ffx site before.

What is the best size knipex for general use? Is it these?

We have the 125mm in our toolbags, they go to 23mm so great as a trail tool. A 250mm or 180mm would be fine for the workshop. The 250mm goes to 46mm AF so will handle almost nythuing bike related.

Got a set of 180mm’s on their way from Mtytoolshed for £38, thought that was pretty good. They open to 35mm so that should handle most things.

Looking forward to finally getting my mitts on a pair after a few years of lusting after them.

Got mine a bit cheaper on Amazon.de. Might be worth a look

Best tool ever for squashing cable end caps on!

I saw these in the tool roll article, but what makes them so handy? I reckon I’d rather have a good shifter personally.

Better than a shifter I think, it has the variability of a shifter, always parallell, and you can apply pressure to the nut as you undo, prevents slippage dunnit. Plus that can be pliers and great for nipping people in the soft parts.
