I asked the issue between the Kamasa in U.K. and the global Kamasa and got following answer: "Kamasa in U.K. has no connection what so ever to Kamasa Tools. Kamasa in UK has only the rights for the British market. Kamasa Tools (we) have global rights with exception for Great Britain. We have no...

Did some detective work and from the ratchet service kit installation instuctions https://www.kamasatools.com/catalogue/documents/67551.pdf there was mentioned "super ten assembly instructions". Super ten refers to misumo tools where I found exactly the same looking ratchet I have in my set...

I bought an "official" Kamasa set that is found under the "official" Kamasa website: http://www.clasohlson.com/fi/Ty%C3%B6kalusarja-Kamasa,-92-osaa/Pr408865000 After some discounts I got it for 89€ (about 94 US$)... Not sure about the quality yet, but feels quite decent set.

Perfect, thanks. Will ask from there. I also sended email to Facom and asked if there are any repair kits that they advertise and they should be free, but I quess not for tools this old :bounce:.

I have an very old (maybe 1940's) socket set with Facom S150 ratchet like this: On the ratchet the pawl is broken (one or two teeths are gone). Anyone have idea where to get repair kit for this or does someone have one extra ratchet for parts or to replace the broken one in my set?

I think Kamasa has quite good reputation as tool manufacturer. I wonder how they sell these Kamasa socket sets so cheap. Are these "real" Kamasa or some copy stuff? Anyone has experience about the racket in this set, is it any good...

I´m planning to do my working bench to my brand new garage by my own. I have planned 3meters long table. I´m interested to see what kind of benches others are having? Are there any free plans / drawings for work benches that might help me during the planning / implementation process?
