Came across this one today, Bahco Ratchet Socket Bit Set down to £15. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000Y8TIMY/?tag=atomicindustr-21 I think you can only get the discount if you add to basket from the "Other Sellers on Amazon" bar on the RHS, which has Amazon for £15. Not used the set myself...

Thanks Monte & cosmik. Sappies are useful but they're only designed for moving logs on the ground, you need the spike in line with the handle to push logs which are lodged in the air. Thanks for your suggestions though. I have a friend who's a blacksmith so I will get her to make me one, I'll...

I have a request: I'm looking for a pike pole (also know as pick pole or spike pole) that's made in Europe, for some forestry work I am doing. I can only find manufacturers in the USA, with no one stocking them in Europe. Surely there is a forestry manufacturer in Europe who makes one? Even if...

Always learning! Thanks.

So awhile back I mentioned I had picked up a large haul of tools from a retired plumber. Well I finally got round to going through everything and taking photos to share with you guys. I originally spotted the auction as I was after a Record vice (old world, ofcourse) and saw a listing for a...

Thanks for the old world jack recommendations, some really nice kit. Now I just have to decide which one to get :D

What are your recommendations for hydraulic jacks made in the old world? I am after a 1.5/2 tonne one, low entry would be useful but not imperative. The only things I can get locally are all Clarke/Sealey made in China jobbies. I've seen AC Hydraulic, but can't seem to find a decent supplier...

Thanks for this Monte! I will post photos of the goodies I come back with! My poor bank balance...

Bahco 3149-OR toolbox. 56cm. Not sure on COO? Quite nicely built. Old Japanese ratchet my father used in the '60s/'70s. Only marks are: "Cr-Mo Steel Japan F" Any ideas of manufacturer? Wiha SoftFinish T25x100 Torx Tamperproof screwdriver Elora 1/2" Breaker Bar (very impressed with how...

I'm headed to the Hanover area of Germany at the end of June (in my car), can you guys recommend good places to get some nice German tools? :thumbup:

Bought these Bahco P51 hedge shears for myself and my girlfriend to sort our garden - absolutely blown away by them. They're a the most solid shears I've ever used, the blades came razor sharp and the serrated part of the blade can really cut through some thick stuff. Made in France, which came...

I grew up using them all the time, so my fingers can attest to how sharp they are! Will order one along with this, Gransfors Bruks Forest Axe - had my eye on it for awhile thanks to this thread!!

Wow, that's really nice. I need to get one of these!

8pc 1/2" Stahlwille socket set for £30, thought it was quite decent. These seem to be old stock, it says they have some marking on them. Covers 10 - 19mm. http://www.tradesmanschoice.com/catalog/Stahlwille/50UK_8.html

Monte & other old world tool gods, I have a request! I am looking for an inclinometer / angle gauge as I am trouble shooting some suspension geometry problems. I have been searching but I can't find any old world manufacturers who are producing them (apart from Shinwa, but I can't seem to get...
