It's actually a (somewhat ) relevant question for me since I have a set of Stahlwilles in my toolkit in the Caterham...

What series Stahlwille combination wrench you own? I only have 11mm size for Open-Box 13..See below..weight comparison I make between Asahi LCW Light Tools + Stahlwille Open-Box 14 & Stahlwille Open-Box 13 (11mm) + Heyco Maxline 410

maybe, for special tasks
I'm tried to contact the salesman who sold this Belzer set to me, to get another one hex screwdriver set as a photo I posted before..maybe I'm too greedy
do you think it worth to own another Germany Belzer set?

Wille Open-Box 13 - 11mm


Heyco 410 10mm


Asahi LCW 12mm


Wille Open-Box 14 - 12mm


Heyco 410 - 12mm


Asahi LCW 10mm = 21 grams

Stahlwille 14 - 10mm = 43 grams

Heyco 410 - 10mm = 48 grams

Asahi LCW 12mm = 38 grams

Stahlwille 14 - 12mm = 63 grams

Heyco 410 - 12mm = 73 grams

..just weight comparison..

Guys,

can you reccomend an oil pressure tester that can be used also on motorcycles and that's readily available in Europe?
I'm trying to diagnoze whether or not I am dealin with connecting rod problems due to a noise I'm getting from my bike.
Don't want to break the bank but I don't want somthing that will break after I fisrt use it.

Thanks,
Mihai

Here's an old Facom 12mm combo wrench that's a little lighter....

One Belzer set for working and one set for your NOS Belzer collection
I don´t know how much you paid but they don´t make these sets anymore

Do you feel a big difference in your hand when you hold the Asahi wrench and then the Stahlwille for example ?

@ Monte, Dude that Tornador Gun is so badass! I was a detailer for several years, and my god that would have made things so much easier!

Also, how are the Gedor ratcheting wrenches? I'm really interested in buying some, but want your opinion first.

Very nice ratchet! By the way, I just maintain my model, apply a few drops of Permatex Ultra Slick already been better than when I bought

Thanks for all the pictures you have posted in recent days MrTools.
For several months I have seen the light-tool line from ASAHI in levelchrome.com. In good theory, the design obtained from material removed does not compromise the strength right? Or it could be some limitation on the force that can be applied to the tool?

[Trucky]

It's been a while! I loved looking through the last few million pages of pictures.. soon I'll have something of my own to contribute again. My birthday is coming up, and this year I'm going to ask for tools instead of crummy gift cards or shoes that I don't need.

A few things off the list:

PB Swiss 215? screwdriver (The one with the interchangeable blades), and mostly Torx Plus blades for that. I just broke three torx/torx-plus drivers in the past week (2 today), because we use them very frequently, so I'm hoping these last for a bit longer!

Grobet Files... ahh.. I've wanted a few of these forever. Just the simple types, a mill file, maybe a half round/round if i'm feeling frisky, and most likely an equaling file. The Swiss made ones.. just because.

Oh, and a needle file set from Grobet too.. this is most of the reason why I'm only getting a few things this year. These babies are expensive-o. But well worth it...

Wiha "Powerhandle"? torx driver set

a few PB Swiss punches/cold chisels

Lots of deburring and scraper style equipment, though I'm not sure how much will be made across the Atlantic.

I will be getting more than this, I promise, but I need to get paid first! I get a check once a month. Blah.

Here's some Facom tools in action...355 service with cam timing and replacing the oil pumps on the F40.

Made a new video what do you guys think

[Obafin]

Finally I visited our summer cottage. I Found some tools

Bahco made in Sweden!


Smalcalda, made in GDR (East Germany)




"Yankee reg. trademark Made by Stanley Works Sheffield, England"




Screwdriver made in West Germany



What is this? Hellstedt & Co. Made in Eskilstuna, Sweden.






Sunflag screwdriver


Gehawe made in West Germany and some other tools


Screwdriver?





Ok experts, any idea of manufacturing years? Would be interesting to know, thanks!

[north]

The Hellstedt is a saw set. Used for adjusting the angle of the saw blade teeth. Very handy tool. I use mine mostly for my bow saws when they won't go straight. Probably not so well known these days where things are replaced, not fixed.

ash95608, I think I want more tools. Good video.

Very impressive project.
And nice pics. Now we want more of course.

Nice video, thanks. What is the difference between the two screw extractors? I think the seconds in the metal case are new. I know the difference in design but both can do the same job? Both of them are designed for the same job? The ones in the plastic case are older but I know that they can do perfectly what they promises.











I have some photos but i can't upload them. I don't know whats going on. I'll try again later.

I really like the RHFT Facom palm control ratchets. I think the design is better than the Snap On 80 tooth ratchets simply because the head is so compact.

Now, I've only had *that* particular ratchet back in my box for a week and I haven't actually used it yet. This weekend I changed out the diff seal on my truck and used its 1/2" drive big brother to complete that job.
