    Monte, do you know that ZEREM is/was a spin-off of HAZET and an abbreviation of ZErver REMscheid , I know this for a while, after searching because I got a dog-bone wrench from a friend. Nice X-mas to you and your relatives.

    Cope; my crowfeet were stamped, not etched, I bought them in 1982. I also dislike etching, it looks cheap

    Reed-Prince, My" pipehead "75 wrenches, bought in 1978, (not OGV) are all marked France. B.t.w. The United Kingdom is about the most expensive country to buy Facom tools! Try the Netherlands or Belgium in the future. Even France is expensive! Kind regards.

    Hi, Thom, your friend is right to leave the Netherlands! I did so in 2008,after my retraitment, without any regret! I always wonder why the angle of Dowidat "bahco's" at the business end have a steeper angle than all other brands. You're right: that KUKKO puller is designed to be used with a...
