Most of mine Sadly the only things made in Sweden are the Sandvik chainsaw files, the hacksaw blades and the folding saw. I have no complaints about the quality of anything though. (Except the handle has come off the 1/4 ratchet!) The sockets, ratchets and spanners come from this set...

http://www.tradesmanschoice.com/catalog/Starrett/T451111-5.html They had them listed on eBay, got 3 packs of 5 for £0.99 as the only bidder so saved myself 9p :D

Some new arrivals from me. Some Swiss knives Noga deburring tool Gedore hex sockets Some West Germany pliers, not the nicest in the world but OK Dormer Jobber drills (ok, technically new world these days) Starrett knife blades

I believe that they are now made in Spain.

A seller on eBay UK http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Unique-Hardware-Shop?_rdc=1 'The Unique Hardware Shop' I guess he's cleared out some timewarp hardware shop. I'm not 100% happy as the 12mm socket has some quite bad rust spots, but I guess it's inevitable for the age. To show how old they...

I've been on a Japanese tool buying spree. Vessel stubby screwdriver Williams 6" adjustable Hilka spline sockets And my favourite, Kamasa hex driver set

PB Swiss Torx Keys They are tiny! They were also poorly described on eBay so I got them for 1/4 retail price :D I don't even have a car with Torx fastners! What have you done to me GJ?! :lol_hitti They are nice though. I love the etching that PB Swiss use, very clear to read. I think I'm...

Just ;) Maximum is about 32.5mm, so good for 32mm :) It's the 10" Model: Sorry the pictures are sideways, photobucket decided to rotate them :dunno: Monte, please let us know how well they last compared to a conventional wire brush. Also are they for drill only?

Incredible! Thank you :D Did my Bahco adjustable as well: Thanks again :thumbup:

Draper 4 1/2" pliers made in West Germany Older than me :D Are there any quick tips for removing the light rust before I oil them? Also, does anyone know who the manufacturer might be? Draper in an importer/rebrander. Maybe Knipex, as the current Draper 'Expert' pliers are Knipex, as seen...

Thats good to know. I think the Hazet box is really good value considering it is European made.

Elora Old school Knipex Felo hitting stick Felo ratchet bit holder This is really disappointing, there is a lot of play in the shaft (over 1mm side to side), and the ratchet has just 8 positions. :sad: In my limited experience of Felo and Wiha drivers (Felo ergonic, Wiha soft and...

PB Swiss hex bits 4, 5, 6, 8, 10mm PB Swiss chisel Koken 1/4" bit holder 1/2" drive I'm really impressed with this bit holder, I've only ever had cheap ones before. There is no movement at all from the bit, yet its never so tight that its impossible to pull the bit out, unlike my Bahco bit...

Gedore No.6 open ended set received today. Thanks to Millo777 for the heads up :) Hazet 190 tool box, not sure where this is made but the quality is excellent. Possibly too good as the joints are so tight it doesn't close by lifting the handle. I'm sure it will loosen up over time. Bought...

Gedore No.6 open ended set Hazet 190 tool box, not sure where this is made but the quality is excellent. Possibly too good as the joints are so tight it doesn't close by lifting the handle. I'm sure it will loosen up over time. Filled it with my most commonly used tools including Hazet...
