Hi guys, as the title says, I’m looking for electrican tools (multimeters, clamp meters, voltage testers) made in the EU or owned by a european company. Thank you in advance. 😬🫡

      Why are they so expensive?!

      I found a tool bag in the bin so I took it home to use, didn’t recognise the brand so googled it and it was like €100.

      For a fucking tool bag, maaan.

        To be honest, their stuff is pretty damn good. It’s a bit like Knipex or Festool. Pretty much the best quality tools around, but their pricing is also premium. No matter the brand, they are really good, but not all of their stuff is really worth the money, but if you’re buying with a company credit card it doesn’t really matter either.

        For a home gamer it’s of course different scenario, but for a company it’s nothing to throw 100+€ for a side cutters since you still need to pay for someone to go and pick them up from a retailer and when you pay the premium they last for a very long time no matter how badly you abuse them so you don’t waste time and money on replacing stuff.

        And würth has reasonable priced tools as well. I have serveral utility knives with break away blades, welding gloves and other stuff around in garage. I could get the cheaper ones too, but even if würth (or knipex) ones are often way more expensive than competition the quality is just so much above anything else that coughing up the cash is really worth it.
