    Tools from the old world

    Hi Monte, I am interested to buy a Frico 5 kW heater like yours, I want to know its price and where to buy, here, in France, I can´t find it, In Holland, my COO, neither. Important for me: does it make much noise? (I like Pabst fans however!) Tnx

    Hello Dutch 79, I like that VIGOR catalogue: for more than a year I ask for one, but without any response from them. Where can I get one? Most success for obtaining catalogues are from Belgian sellers, and from Jens (for Hazet,Gedore and Knipex) Btw: I´m dutch, living in France for 11 years...

    Is this plastic "Belzer" ratchet made in Argentina? It is a flawless replica of a once famous brand, when Belzer made also the ratchets for Snap-On, in the fifties,sixties...........:(

    When I ordered my UNIOR Tool catalogue, last year from the Dutch Unior importer, for which I paid p&p myself, as a private person, they send me the same opener as a gift: to compensate p & p, I think! Since then I have opened lots of beers: great tool!

    I love the balance-feel of ball-peen hammers over that of DIN1041 German hammers, I have them all from 50 to 2000 grammes, made by Peddinghaus,Belzer,Sandvik,Picard, and only 6 ball-peen, made by Blue Point, Stanley and Peddinghaus, but I like these more.

    Hello 101%LOKO, I see Belzer Brazil use the green grips from their budget mark of the past:Itma. Lovely catalogue ,you have! In the newest Bahco catalogue, hard bound, orange, the name Belzer is definitely gone. The old Belzer typenumbers still exist, but the name has gone.................it´s...

    A walk down memory lane: In the sixties I bought these sockets etc. one by one, metric and imperial, I was 20. When I had completed these tools, I wrote to Bahco, Sweden for a coffret that fits, telling I had bought all the tools loose and wanted a coffret for them.......Within a fortnight I got...

    I think it´s normal, otherwise the point are useless, it´like "bombage" in sheet metal bending machines, where the "knives" in the middle are a little longer than at both sides

    I have these pliers for over 20 years, it´s very sturdy and handy tool, f.i. to bend thicker wires in narrow positions, building tube-amplifiers, f.i. for positioning the wires to the valveholders to solder them. I love Belzer!:)

    You forgot PICARD, D, and THOR,UK Most of my DIN1041 hammers are PICARD ones (from 50 to 2000 g), THOR is famous because of their rawhide/copper mallets.:)

    Made in USA vs Made in Germany

    I agree ,PTU! That´s why I like companies like HAZET, STAHLWILLE,GEDORE,ELORA, f.i. They all are family owned. No ratty guys to confiscate them, like was sadly done to BELZER....... Most of my tools are vintage FACOM: made in France (1970´s, when I lived in the Netherlands):)) but now, "under...

    Unbelievable!!!! Stihl is good, very good, but the´re others like Husqvarna, Dolmar, Zenoah,Shindaiwa,Jonsered, etc. who are not worser. A pré for Stihl is its availability all over the world; but why being so arrogant to stop other brands, that´s feodalism! I have a 192T and a Shindaiwa 450S...

    Thank you Superautobacs; I watched the hole video. I like Belzer very much, and I have some tools, mostly NOS, but also bought 2nd hand, and bought new in the sixties of the 20th era. We had a very nice seller in the Hague, in the Netherlands, my country of origin.
