Any tool thread is a great thread. Much as I like the Knipex pliers, I would not use them routinely as a substitute for a wrench. The eventual result will be rounded bolt heads.
The little plastic bit holder that Van is showing can be found on eboy here -

Buy 10 and give some to your friends.
Also Chad's Toolbox has a 2-unit set of the Knipex pliers on Xmas sale, get 'em while they are hot

Another tool that gets a lot of use in my shop is a set of 8" stainless tweezers. These are great for pawing thru your junk box or picking the right part out of a plastic bag. Some people use them for ball bearings, and there is in fact a pair of tweezers available that has a little "cupped" tip perfect for placing bearings in hub races.
Here's another cool Knipex tool (lower photo) a 90 degree plier, these are very helpful but too big for an under the saddle tool kit. They are shown with a pair of vintage compound leverage pliers from SnapOn. These are no longer made, but they have a cam action that gives them a heck of a grip on cables and other parts.
