I was excited to see what the Knipex EV Kit may contain as having used this company’s products before I know what the quality is like. Knipex has been in business since 1882 making predominantly pliers for ...

I was asked by PMM magazine to choose and review a tool from Sealey’s catalogue: the VS8230 borescope. A borescope is becoming more and more of a must-have tool in today’s modern workshops.

PMM reviewer, John Hall, discovers what regular high pressure cleaning can do for his business. I was given the task of using this pressure washer for some weeks and I must admit, I went in rather sceptical, thinking “what could possibly be so different about this cold power washer?” My eyes, it must be said, have now been opened. Despite the moderate size, ...

Tony Powell AEE MIMI, owner of A P Autodiagnostics has spent a month with Traction Charger’s MPL50-Li. Here’s how he got on.
