Oh, thanks! But it's getting more expensive recently :willy_nil :willy_nil Yes, there're plants of Mercedes, Volskwagen, Ford, Peugeot/Citroen, Fiat, etc.. They mostly produce small, medium/small cars and some pickups (unfortunately just a small percentage of the pieces are made in argentina).

I got this today. It's a ratchet screwdriver, made by N.Rucci, they are from a little city in Santa Fe (an argnetinian province), they make just a few tools, like locking pliers, screwdrivers, t wrenches, pipe wrenches, and some other car tools (i understand this brand is "popular" between race...

I've used some william wrenches made in argentina, but they were different, like this: Good tools, not the best, but decent quality for its price.

I went today to the tool store, I wanted to buy a milwaukee, bigger than the one i posted, but it was out of stock. They had a simillar dewalt, the milwaukee 5376 and the metabo 561. I was between the milwaukee and the metabo. The milwaukee was cheaper and had more power, but i bought the...

Well, i've been thinking about it and i'm deciding between this models: http://www.metabo.com.ar/Catalogo-herramientas-electricas.24112+M5cbfdd307f2.0.html http://www.dewalt.com.ar/productos/cata/listProdDeta.asp?prodID=DWD024 http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/corded/5376-20...

My new bench vise, bought a few weeks ago. "Casa Grande" brand, made in San Francisco, Cordoba, Argentina. Is about 24 lbs

And i see most rotary hammers come with the sds plus or a similar siystem. Is it good? I have a lot of bits, but they're the "normal" ones. Are they compatible with the sds plus? I prefeer the corded tools, i suposse it's beacause of the battery lifetime. The corded porter cable looks good.

Thanks, makita and bosch are my options now, this bosch http://www.bosch-professional.com/za/en/gbh-2-20-d-24637-ocs-p/ and this makita http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=HR2470F The thing is when i told the toolshop man i wanted to use it for steel, he said i...

Hi, well, just that. I'm planning to use it for wood and metal but i'd also like to use it in concrete. It's for a home use, but i prefeer to buy something good. What's the best opcion? a drill? a rotary drill? a "small" rotary hammer? And, what's a brand for this things? Here i can get Bosch...

Good luck with your Black & Decker, it seems like a good choice for it's price. If it's for a home or hobby use, i think it can last for some time. I know a workshop when they own a b&d 720 (for a "light" use), it must be 3 years old and works fine. Here in Argentina the paddle switch comes just...

Thanks for all your advices. i think i made a good choice :beer:

Cool, that's exactly what i wanted to hear. I kept on trying the metabo a few hours ago and, as you say, it's just a kind of time to get used to the quick-change.

I have just tryed it. It work very good, the anti-vibration grip really its a great feature. It's not the most powerfull grinder, but it's very well made, just what i have been looking for. The quick change works fine to, but i have a cuestion. When i want to change a disc i have to press the...

emmm...i dont know. This are the specs http://www.metabo.com/Product-catalogue-handheld-powertools.24048+M5e1b89695d0.0.html Can someone explain this?:confused:

Well, finally i got my metabo. It was a little expensive (about u$s 160), but i like it. I haven't tried it yet, i took my time to read the instructions, so i'll try it tomorrow, but it looks pretty good. But.. there's something i dind't like about it, not the grinder but the warranty. I asked...
