A nice find of old Stahlwille tools from Ebay, I simply couldn‘t resist :) Besides the set of Electric 12s and the two small Open Box 16s, which are still available today, the set includes some rare items: - the set of Corona 23s has the marking „Stronger than any bolt“, which means that they...

. Nice comparison regarding the hardness of the teeth. I have the same long reach pliers from Knipex since a few months and really saw how useful they can be at several occasions now. Regarding hardness of the teeth, I always found the teeth of my Knipex Cobras to ge very sharp and durable and...

For those who were wondering, the different combination spanners are not redundant 🙂 The different lengths are very useful to have when working on European cars.

My new shadowboard from toolbed.com (can really recommend them, not cheap but fully customizable, great quality and service) for my Lista cabinet, including a set of Stahlwille Open Box 13 (5,5-32mm), Facom 467 (7-19mm), Stahlwille Corona (6-22mm) and Facom 39 (3,2-17mm), to complement my Hazet...

I bought this old Hazet 430 set on Ebay some time ago. It is not in great condition but the tools are mainly just dirty and have seen some normal use. An interesting detail about this set is that the items partially have the old „Hazet“ logo with the little a, others have the newer „HAZET“ logo...

According to this thread, Wiha confirms that the handle is the only difference to their regular screwdrivers. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=222051 I am also looking at buying a set of those in Torx.

Thank you all for your feedback. In the meantime, I got a great deal on a new 15 piece set of Facom 467B (newest model with retaining ring in the ratcheting ring as well as a retaining notch in the open end), on Ebay (110€ including shipping) so I couldn’t resist and decided to go for that one...

To add some clarity to this for those who don't know these wrenches: Gedore 7R old version Gedore 7R new version Gedore 7UR old version Gedor 7UR new version

Hello, Since several years I am using the older type Gedore 7R ratcheting wrenches, which were still made in Taiwan (or other country? at least not in Germany). I have the 5 piece set and I have been very pleased with them so far, except that regularly I need a size which is not included in my...

Yes, that definitely makes sense. I will try to find out when I disassemble it. Even though Rustoleum seems to be available as a brand in Europe, they don’t seem to sell the hammered finish paint. However, Hammerite seems to sell hammered finish paint over here. I will see if I find matching...

Thanks a lot for all your feedback so far. The awesome rebuild ricleh has done to his Rollmaster definitely makes me tend towards the full repaint. I think that in a first step I will completely dismantle it, clean it and remove all loose paint. Unfortunately there seems to be quite a lot of...

Here are the photos.

I added this Stahlwille Rollmaster to my collection. Given that it‘s quite attacked by rust, I need to give it some care, but I am not sure whether I should go for the full dismantle, sand blast and paint restoration, or if I should just clean it up an try to stop the rust from spreading. I...

So I finally found a few hours today to work on the Lista and just wanted to let you know how it worked out. As both brake cleaner and ATF/Acetone were mentioned as good cleaning methods, I just tried out both to find out which one works the best on my rollers. I finally proceeded as follows...
