Why Netherlands "of all places"?

If i'm not mistaken I think my brother has one. the best one can get. However the tiles in my livingroom (60x60x12 mm porcelanato) we had to saw, we could not cut them straight through.

Sorry then for the repost, This thread is getting way too long and too popular.... I just thought it was a nice search result when I was looking for other high-res pictures of the NWS pliers (besides the impresive collection inside this thread, the company website shows the 2K grips only) I did...

hi monte, you seem to be fond of NWS and their LUX rebadged range, did you know this one?:

The axis (torx) bold has the tendency to loosen, the pliers then become sloppy... My experience with this type of size adjustment is not good at all

35,50 euro this is the shop: http://www.swisstools.nl//index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=26&Itemid=26 the 12 screwdrivers were for a special set-price in at 'huho schipper' (the mothercompany of swisstools.nl) at 58 euro, 4 euro cheaper than at swisstools.nl

someone stated that he dislikes the barcode on pliers grip because it makes them look 'Bau-markt' (cheap). I noticed that pb also puts barcodes on the swissgrip handles (unfortunately)

today I bought pb screwdriver set and hex-keys (rainbow) they look like kids toys, (but meant for grow-ups)

brilliant pictures! Shiny tools indeed those 440's. I may need to reconsider my opinon.

I drive a 2001 v70 the 440 is exact the one i doubt about. maybe I prefer the old 40's (somewhere in this thread there is the discussion on 440 comming from toptull) mainly i think the beam looks a bit to exotic/ergonomic do you like the ergonomics/grip? i was positive surprised, never know...

thanx, bought these for 50 euro on marktplaats (=dutch ebay) We don't need snap-on high shine chrome, if we can have this satin chrome finished Facom btw i dont speak swedish, but I drive swedish... (and then you'll notice you need all metric sizes that the French prefer to skip (14 18 22mm))

my fresh facom box wrenches: close up:
