#KCTool #ToolHaul #GermanTools #GermanImpacts
In KC Tool Haul #78 we snag some Wiha Hex Bits and a trio of German made Impact Sockets. We showcase all 3, make comparisons to other brands, and test fit them. What would you pick? Are you interested in seeing them go head-to-head in a showdown?
*Please Note: It was really windy and there was smoke coming down from wildfires in Colorado. Why is that important? The wind kept blowing my door screen up and the smoke made my nose run a lot. Past that, no interruptions!*
