I have one of these also. One of my go-to tools. Someone walked off with my knipex water pump pliers, miss them.



I have one with a bent bar. ;)

I have a 3/8 and 1/2 inch. I never use them, but they need cleaning. Probably 50+ years old.

Note the 911 spark plug changing tools.

That’s a nice set and I almost bought them online just now, but got the Crecent brand for work. We’ll see how they do.

I use those Knipex pliers to squeeze dowel pins etc into things- they squeeze parallel, so great for moving things in a straight line.

Good socket for Porsche plug changes...adjustable in length. Made by Hazet, female 3/8" drive opening on the end.

When I worked as a Nuclear Pipefitter, adjustable wrenches were not part of the tool room inventory and you were not allowed to bring in your own tools (you could if you were Non-Nuc however!). So I have always avoided adjustable wrenches ever since.

One of my favorite wrenches that was provided was a Rigid E-110, an adjustable pipe wrench with flats for use on hex nuts. Purchased one for myself after I left the shipyard and, although it doesn't get used often, it is great to have when you need it (I have an upcoming use here soon to remove radiator union nuts from the floor pipe stubs to install some new flooring).
