Frequently asked questions

Which hand tools do I need to get started in the workshop?▾

A sensible basic set includes a screwdriver set, a water pump plier, a side cutter, a hammer, a hand saw, a bit set and a practical tool case. With these tools, most tasks around the house, workshop and hobby can be accomplished reliably.

What is the difference between branded hand tools and no-name products?▾

Branded tools from manufacturers like Knipex, Wera or PB Swiss Tools are characterized by high-quality materials, precise manufacturing, better ergonomics and longer service life. No-name tools are often more basic in construction, but can wear out faster or work less precisely under heavy use.

Which pliers are suitable for which application?▾

Water pump pliers like the Knipex Cobra grip pipes and nuts, side cutters cut wires and cables, combination pliers combine gripping and cutting, and needle-nose pliers reach hard-to-access areas. For every application there is an optimized plier shape.

What should I look for in a torque wrench?▾

Important are the desired torque range, a clearly readable scale, a mechanical or electronic release mechanism and solid workmanship. Brands like Gedore and Stahlwille offer calibrated torque wrenches with high accuracy.

How do I properly maintain and store my hand tools?▾

Hand tools should be stored dry and protected from moisture, ideally in a tool bag or tool case. After use, clean them with a cloth; moving parts like joints should occasionally be lubricated with a drop of oil to prevent rust and stiffness.

Are hand tools also suitable as a gift?▾

Yes, high-quality hand tools are an excellent gift for hobbyists, apprentices, or anyone setting up a new home. Tool sets from Wera or PB Swiss Tools in particular come in attractive packaging and are long-lasting companions.

Which bits and screwdrivers fit my cordless drill/driver?▾

The most common bits have a 1/4-inch hex shank and fit almost all standard cordless drills/drivers. Phillips PH2, Torx T20 and T25, and slotted bits are the most frequently needed profiles. Sets from Wera or PB Swiss Tools offer a comprehensive selection for different screw profiles.

What are typical accessories for hand saws?▾

Replacement saw blades with different toothings for coarse and fine cuts, miter boxes for miter assistance, and cut-resistant gloves for safety are suitable accessories for hand saws. Bahco and Stanley offer coordinated accessories for this.
