Tool Recommendations

[aero_nz]

Hi All,

I am slowly upgrading all of my tools, so far I've added a hakko iron, Wiha precision screwdrivers and MIP drivers.

Next up are side cutters, and a set of pliers. Any recommendations?
Being from Australia Amazon tends to be the best source for me.

Thanks, Travis

A thread in Off Topics turned me on to these cool non-stick scissors. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered the 3 pack and they work as advertised and I'm really happy with them.

A pin vise comes in quite handy at times too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Really good set of JIS drivers which are what most phillips head screws are on our helis. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Those are things I've bought from Amazon in the last year. I know the links aren't the Au site but you'll know what to search for there.

I hear these ball link pliers are the cat's ass. http://www.kdedirect.com/collections...ducts/kde-ublp
I don't have a pair yet but they sure are sexy.

My main pliers and cutters are from Snap On but I also have several pairs of el' cheapo ones that work fine.

Have fun tooling up. I love it!

Xuron pliers and cutters are really nice and available on Amazon. I have three of them ad they are very durable and nice to use.
