Curator's pick: KNIPEX TwinKey 10-Way Control Cabinet Key
This is the only multi-key I've used that doesn't snap at the joints when a valve is seized; the weight distribution is balanced so you can actually get a decent grip even when wearing work gloves.
⚠ Worth knowing: The ErgoStrip is a time-saver for standard Romex and data cables, but if you're working with heavy-duty armored cable or thick-jacketed outdoor wire, the plastic housing won't stand up to the torque—stick to a dedicated heavy-duty stripper for that.
