Ok, now I understand about the Garant screwdrivers, but why is the Hofmann logo printed on the screwdriver in the middle, the one branded PB Swiss tools?

Our resourceful member Monte posted this photo The screwdriver on the top is definitely made by "PB Swiss", yet it's branded "Garant" and has the same logo as PB Swiss tools. What's the link here? Does PB Swiss make tools for other brands? Why would the Garant brand have the same logo as...

Thank you VERY much for the great replies! Now I want this thing more than I ever wanted any woman! :drool: http://www.engineer.jp/en/products/dr51e.html Any idea where to purchase online?

Over the years I don't think I've ever come across Japanese made hand hand tools. Are there any brands from Japan making screw drivers, hex keys, pliers etc? Just curious.

Lol! Sorry about the pic. The only one I found. This is not the one I'm asking about. It's just similar to it for demonstration purposes. The one I'm talking about had "Made in Sweden" deeply impressed in the handle. Thanks

A year ago a friend loaned me a medium sized adjustable spanner that looked kinda like this with a similar synthetic covering on the handle and itched numbers. That one had "Made in Sweden" somewhere on the handle part. I wanted to get myself one sometime and I wrote the brand down, but I...

Thanks for the tip! Appreciated :thumbup:

"Not exactly the same" is the answer I was looking for. Thanks.

A question: Do both variants come in identical sizes but only the marking on them is different, or there are sizes in one type that aren't made in the other?

I keep buying those $10 sets that are not marked but I'm told they are Taiwanese. The tips on them deform after a while so that if any torque is applied on the screw, the screwdriver's head would just spin inside the screw's head.

So far I've owned cheap ones that did not last long, and I'm finally buying something nice to serve me for as long as I need them. I made some research and found this super nice set http://www.tradesmanschoice.com/catalog/Stahlwille/4694.html In your experience, is this the best money can...

Thanks people :)

Can you please tell me what is the accurate name of a shaft that has this cross section? It is basically a regular circular shaft but then two cut aways where made to its sides

Still looking for this design by Wezag or Stahlwille to no avail :( :dunno:

Well said...

Thanks a lot Monte. Excellent information!

I have already ordered very expensive Aigo stainless steel ones. so for now I am just curious about the maker of those stahlwille pliers, and in the future I might buy them. Let us know what they tell you over the phone. thanks, I appreciate your time :)

Interesting design and looks quite similar to the one I posted with Stahlwille labeling which looks really superior to anything else. I am still trying to find who is the real maker of this pliers but with no luck.

Monte, you seem to be very knoledgeable of the German tools. Can you please explain this: I found pliers that are obviously made by the same maker (identical in everything), except that one is marked Wezag and the other Stahlwille The website of both makers state that they make all their...

Not US. A UK one, and they ship overseas http://www.cdet.co.uk/catalogue/aigogrips.asp This is the stainless steel pliers I'm talking about. I can't find information about the alloy to know if it's as strong as cheaper CV steel or not, before I pay more than a $100 per piece. The aigo site...
