Thanks for these pics. I would have gone tilt at a place like this.

Must be all the Saffa's in Australia stealing them, because here they would be gone in less than 10mins. :)

Very interesting list. Thanks Maico.

Nice video. Thanks.

Looks like the rear caliper on the lastest BMW's (Blue Brembo 2-piston).

:thumbup: Yup, it certainly beats the acres of plastic found in today's V8 engines.

Hi Lump, it looks like an old Corvette C4 intake? But you would need to school a non-American like me on the importance of these items. Are they very rare or is it one of those OEM items that is sought after for its performance abilities? $20 sounds like a bargain either way. Thanks.

Yes, the axe makes quite a different "tune" when you grind it, compared to the other axes I have. That makes me suspect the steel is very different.

Found a rusty old axe head at my favourite 2nd hand tool store this weekend. Cleaned it up nicely and saw it was a Hults Bruk from Sweden. Not sure if they still make axes up there? Put a handle in it from the hardware store. Chopped a few pieces with it. Has a nice timbre to it when it...

Hi Krokodil, Gedore SA seem to be importing some of their wrenches from elsewhere and putting on the "made in SA" labels. I have found a few of their items clearly not from here but with the local tags attached (even if they come from Europe).

Not yet, I see that Made in SA tag stuck to every Gedore product sold in SA, even when not made in SA. I know also the Gedore SA made spanners don't have that long rib down the neck like in your picture.

Somehow I missed this discussion, sorry don't always get onto GJ. I'm willing to put a month's wages that the bottom spanner is not made here in SA. We have a matte high quality finish like the German one, and our Gedore spanners generally have the SA mark on them. I have recently seen some...

Pretty weld....
