    Tools from the old world

    It doesn't surprise me that with your keen eye for details you couldn't miss the drill press. <a href="http://s739.photobucket.com/albums/xx39/cantause/?action=view&current=IMG_1731Copier.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx39/cantause/IMG_1731Copier.jpg"...

    Tools from the old world

    Hi guys! Long time no see, I'm really sorry but I've had a lot of things to do and didn't come on GJ for ages... Woww, this thread was already big the last time I came, but it's huge now, I will need some time to read everything but it seems that our tool addiction is not getting better, nice...

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    I think so too, not only for my own interest but it was a bit early to increase the prices, at least they should have done this gradually... They're still not well known outside of places like here where you find a big quantity of fine tools enthusiasts, willing to pay for good tools AND pretty...

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    It's true that it's getting closer, but do you think it's already that close? I bought a Snap-On ratchet lately and prices seemed in a different category, even compared to the new Nepros prices... Why don't we have this kind of tool finish line in a european brand offer? USA have Snap-On (even...

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    Maybe they'll go back to the previous version the time to fix the problems :D I think I'm dreaming awake... Yes they have them individually but not in set... I'm not sure but I think there were many more wrenches sets on the previous site.

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    Stop being mean, please!!! :D I have exactly the same problems with boxes and sometimes with pictures on the new website I can't delete things from my cart either... This new website really *****, it's unstable, they should go back at the previous one, it's fine if we have to contact them...

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    Thank you for the price of the aluminium handle ratchet. Please don't make it harder for people who haven't bought anything yet but want to do it soon... :) I'm not going to make nice dreams, 20% increase means 20% less tool :sad:

    the Nepros brand hand tool thread

    Don't ask stupid questions :D Every normally constituted tool enthusiast would love to buy Nepros tools at US prices! However I wonder how expensive would be the shipping, if they use UPS I guess it's not cheap... Have you received a quote? Plus here in Belgium, customs always tax parcels from...

    A picture I took for a french forum, where some people think that Facom deserves being expensive because the OGV profil is so much better and unique... Britool shallow and Facom OGV short socket: <a href="http://s739.photobucket.com/albums/xx39/cantause/?action=view&current=IMG_1342.jpg"...

    @AndreasD Nice Usag! It's a brand I'd like to see more often, some tools look better than the Facom's version, but Italian brands are not very popular in Belgium... However I see more and more Beta tools signs in specialized shops windows, but I've never stopped to have a look. Actually, my...

    But he's in the US :) They have a very different approach of health services there... Here in Belgium too, you don't pay anything when you have diabetes, pen, glucose meter, insulin,... Even if you prefer to have a nurse coming to your house morning and evening for your injections it cost you...

    @ Repairman: So Facom lover I guess... Wasn't it too difficult to get Facom in the US? Your double forks 44 series look old, even with vanchrome on them, how old are they? Nice collection :thumbup: As Servito said it's 230V here, I paid 520€ for the saw with its blade, box, 2 guide rails...

    My apologies :D You don't switch. When you "twist" the handle the square drive turns, always in the way selected with the ring, not matter in which way you twist the handle. When you use it as a normal ratchet, the handle can't turn as soon as some torque is applied on the square drive, the...

    @ mistertool: Very nice collection, Facom enthusiast or just wanted to try something different? From your location and your Nepros tools, I guess that you like exotic tools in your toolbox :) You have good taste :thumbup: Sorry to answer to your question, but I own the same Facom "twist"...
