Looks like you have more Gedore than anything else, is that your favorite brand? The Wera Joker looks good also........now that is some innovation that I could see worth updating to........as long as the open end extra grip/teeth don't harm plating on nuts and bolts (on collector/classic vehicles)

The case with tools pictured above is on sale for around 300 Euros. Not sure if they are the Kraftwerk tools which are made-in-Taiwan or not. I have not been able to find any other hand-held cases from other European tool manufacturers in such a low price range, so I guess they are not made in...
