I have received my iFixit set today. The time will show of course, but my first impressions are positive. The only thing I could complain is its case. It is made of ABS and does not feel robust.

I have decided to try iFixit Manta.

Does it say anywhere on the box where it is made? Does anyone know who makes this set for Wurth? One seller claims it is made by BGS, but I doubt that.

From time to time I need to unscrew some fancy screws. If I do not have a bit I am looking for that means a lot of time will be wasted ordering it and waiting for the delivery. That is why I want to have an extensive set. Having $10 bit set is like having no bit set at all. At the worst...

I am not sure why do you think PB, Wiha or Felo could not make such sets (high quality, consisting of many different types) if they really want. They do make large regular bit sets. I have bits from Felo and screwdrivers from PB. Yes, they are good. The problem is that the biggest set from Felo...

I am looking to buy the most complete security bit set there is. I am not interested in low quality bits that easily break. Currently I am considering two bit sets: iFixit Manta and Wurth 0614250300. Are they any good? Is there anything else you would recommend to buy (in Europe)?

How do you avoid rust on your Erem tools? I need to rub mine in oil after each time I work with mine. If I don't do it, it takes a couple of days to see first signs of rust. Also, how do you manage to keep handles so clean? Material used for handles has thousands of small holes where dirt...

Amazon sells one file for ￥764 ($8,21), that's 37% cheaper than that seller. Delivery costs is another story. Considering the price (he has offered me to sell one K-type file (made in Japan) for $36) and that cheap packing I expect it to be considerably lower quality. Ultimately I would like...

Thank you PrimeTools for your offer, but few weeks ago I have ordered Pelican case.

Just want to share my findings/story. I have accidentally found out about Tsubosan files by reading this forum. I looked at their catalog and found diamond files that I really loved. Problem was that I could find any way to buy them in Europe. Thanks to superautobacs, I found out about eBay...

Before asking here I have done a small research on this topic. I have found that NWS and Gedore are offering small combination pliers, but I was under impression that they are all chrome plated. It appears that NWS is not. Those are called (flat) nose pliers, they differ from combination...

Can anyone recommend me small/precision combination pliers that are not chrome plated? Something like Knipex 08 05 110 (but it is chrome plated).

No, sorry. Here you go. Measurements are in cm.

I haven't just checked this brand. I have found one case that is similar to the one made by Facom - it is 1460TOOL. I have watched this review and I must say I am impressed. Question is, how to find it for a reasonable price in Europe? In the USA it costs around $200 and in Europe they want...

I have found an ideal portable tool box that I was looking for a long time. It is made by Facom. It is not cheap and very hard to buy on e-shop that offers delivery to Europe. Many tools boxes made by Facom are also made by other well knows companies, but not this one. I cannot find anything...
