You are welcome! More to come - vintage Hazet, Stahlwille, Dowidat, Gedore. All from my father, when we lived near Stuttgart (where I was born) - Böblingen to be precise. Duly noted - thank you. You are right! No means to adjust tension with a screw. They are brand new, but if (when)...

Stahlwille baby wrenches and Facom Torx and Allen 1/2" sockets. Stahlwille. Facom Torx/Allen sockets.

I agree. I feel it really helps to get an accurate torque. The knob rotates freely and assists in proper positioning of the torque wrench. I am doubtful. Perhaps it is a typo, or merely inflated for marketing. Thanks for the welcome and kind words. The button on the pliers merely stuck...

Facom ratcheting hinged combination wrenches. Hinge on these is consistent and firm (not too loose). The three small attachments pictured allow the use of sockets and bits in very tight spots. The 1/2" socket attachment fits on the 19mm wrench, and the 1/4" socket attachment fits on the 10mm...

Stahlwille wrenches and pliers.

My earlier post was missing a few photos of the Facom Overland tool kit. Here they are. Another side of the Facom kit. Bits for the driver. Other components of the kit. The Facom 'multigrip pliers'. Where I'm from we'd call these 'Channel-locks' but I realize...

Thanks Westly, I'm not sure how a stud could come out of the wheel using a manual impact tool (could you explain?). For me, one of the reasons to get the manual impact tool is for times when air/electric is not available. Excellent point 2oolhound, thank you. Good that you pointed out the...

Krokodil, I tried business cards. The case is too small. I bet Bart 1 and Monte are correct - small parts, etc.

The Facom impact driver that claims 400NM. Look like a re-brand? Country of origin?

Thank you Monte for the info on the manual impact drivers/wrenches. The Facom impact driver claims 400NM of torque which is two to four times what others claim, and it sells for about $250 USD, including a dozen or so bits. The Stahlwille, with 120NM, cost $500 - 800 USD! I was hoping that...

Here are the Facom Overland and the Gedore S1000 tool kits. Both are intended for carry in an automobile. The cases (Facom on left, Gedore on right). The Gedore S1000 is 47 pieces. One of the pieces is this knife. The knife has considerable play at the hinge, and is...

Monte, I am hoping you will check your German tool review websites for any reviews of manual impact drivers or, preferably manual impact wrenches. If possible post a link to the review(s). I did see your Koken recommendation on the 'best manual impact driver' thread but I'd really prefer one...
