I guess that I shall up some pics of H-gems soon, but let just type here that I have bought small adjustable wrench, with 12-point box end wrench instead of hole-hanger, looks like same manufacturer that did Dowidat and Belzer adjustables, stamped Made in Germany... Also, there is some tin...

Dang, I got some of few nice adjustables recently... Naming Dowidat, Hazet and really funny looking Williams, with braking pin - patent is from fifties, sole wrench has Superjustable on it. Hope to post some pics soon

Dave, this is old, as a world, question, but I have to ask: is Hazet better? Just your opinion... We all have own preferences, mine is Wille, but this is interesting that you gave as an explanation, extra 0 for aircrafft grade tools. May be something in it. Also, that cheapness of Wille - there...

Gotta wake the dead... There was some promise made bout nice NOS sets

Got five of likewise Facom adjustables - NOS - and of all of mine adjustables - probably 50+ - least sloppy and wobbly - so tightest ones... Chrome, on the other hand - poorly done. You can dismantle it - there are two detent balls that keep worm in place - push them with tiny screwdriver to...

Maybe should stop pursuing... Looks like an genuine chinesium

That's Wout's profile picture. For all I know, his Assistents, none for sale. Or any other Hazet tool of his :)

Let the steem out... It is just that pretty often themes get well-known, so they become recyclable... Thank you for your findings, here you gotta grow thick skin

Nothing wrong, but... Somehow, I just can not put Sandvik with Belzer in those tools - seems like they overdid wrenches. Something is off

CR888 - maybe as famous footballer? :D - would you post some pics of your sets? As far as ******-on did what it did, it should not prevent us of remembering and yearning...

Steve, thank you for infos. I have couple of NOS Facom adjustable wrenches, marked with France, also marks of length, one has B.S.G.D.G. - breveté sans garantie du gouvernement - others have Vanachrome... Do you know when were they produced, when were they discontinued, and were they genuinely...

They are top notch tools. Here I have friend, Hazet fanatic - sort like Wout... Maybe more zealous. He gave away that small sockets set - called a fridge service tools - for a well conditioned 3/8 Hazet sockets set, that he did not have... And he regrets it. Deeply. Truly. The guy that exchanged...

Thanks, ultimate garage! So, you could put some insight into corporate relations - i.e. Bost and Facom... How to resolutely distinct France and Taiwan wrenches - french have France? - when are last french adjustables forged there, where does/did Facom make flare nut wrenches... And are there...

Going to sign under upper post. Mine were in microelectronics, regularly used Fluke, Weller, Unior and - Belzer. One of the things that was left of the father is incomplete sockets, wrenches and pliers set in one of those charmingly small toolboxes... Though I am not sure it was his, just that I...
