    Are there any good spray bottles?

    Check https://www.birchmeier.us/en/content/home.php they are a Swiss company specialised in spraying equipment. They have a lot different spray bottles for various types of solutions. I think the Reilang ones are also made by them, they look very similar.

    IMO comfort screwdriver recommend

    If you want to apply a lot of torque, Felo Ergonics is my vote. Beta BetaMax is also very good. Wiha Softfinish and Microfinish are nice. Hazet Hexanamic also. PB Swiss tips are very good but only the Swissgrip handles are comfortable to me. For me a bigger grip that is wider on top is the most...

    Tools from the old world

    Yes, I agree with that, I don't think you can get better value for your money. I am very impressed by the quality of the things I ordered. And the prices are really cheap. For instance the deep 1/4" socketset of 13 pieces costs only 9 euros. :wtf: Usually I am not that into tools from Taiwan...

    Tools from the old world

    I just had a look at the http://witte-werkzeuge.de/ website and they have updated the designs of their screwdrivers. And there are Witte pliers on the way. @Monte did you see them at the hardware fair? I am curious, are they made inhouse or rebranded versions?

    best budget leaf blower

    I have a Hitachi, always starts instantly. Have it for 5 years now without any problems. Does the job well, though it vibrates quite a lot. But if I use it it is for no more than an hour so thats no big deal. But I would go for the Stihl if I lived in the USA. $150 for a Stihl is a steal. Here...

    Do not buy...

    Milwaukee Shockwave Impact bit drivers. They are really terrible, some of them even broke after just 5 small screws in fir wood. I returned the broken ones to my tool store, they said maybe I had my set from a bad batch. So I got them replaced, but they keep breaking. For me it's only Witte...

    That Smalcalda wrench looks like the Berinex wrench I posted before in this thread. It has no rust either and the same colour. Maybe it has a different alloy.

    Tools from the old world

    Nice calipers, I had never heard of the brand. But it is Swiss made so it must be very accurate and wellmade. :thumbup: Tesa has also a nice line of measuring tools. http://www.tesagroup.com/en-gb/home/#.Vm8HhNLhBdg I own a Gedore 711. Like this one: (but with two screws;)) I don't think it...
