I thought Gedore offered a lifetime guarantee, and was one of the few german companies to do so? Or is it only the South African gedore that is warranted like this? I took in a broken torque wrench and they fixed the ratchet mechanism and recalibrated it for free, the only thing I paid for was...

I don't see a problem with low balling, provided its not on an item where the seller has listed the price as firm or non negotiable, and provided the buyer/seller doesn't try to decieve the other person into thinking an item is worth less or more than it is. At the end of the day the seller has...

I'm pretty sure the country of origin is India, no idea on who makes them for wiha though

It depends on personal preferences and use My favourite wrenches are my Stahlwilles. I like them because: -they feel nice in my hand -my full wrench set only weighs about 60% of what a typical American style wrench set would weigh which is a massive bonus when your lugging your tools around...

There is no right or wrong brand of screwdrivers, only personal preference. There is however, the right type of screwdriver for the job and the wrong type. With that said, my ultimate screwdriver collection would be one of every screwdriver variation made (and the best quality screwdriver of...

Re: So whats the scoop on all these guys getting the "new" Snap ratchets so cheap? OK, the first thing I have to get off my chest: Offering a teaser discount for the purposes of loyalty is just retarded. What kind of sick demented loyalty system rewards their loyal customers by making them...

Re: So whats the scoop on all these guys getting the "new" Snap ratchets so cheap? Does anyone know if there is a student discount in Australia? Anywho, I think that its pretty retarded to offer such discounts. There is no way in hell I would ever buy anything at full price if I knew a certain...

Sadly, this story is often true. A customer who is polite, reasonable and has been genuinely inconvenienced somehow, will actually recieve less "compensation" than a retarded monkey who can display aggression, even if what they are complaining about is their own fault. Alot of its due to the...

Yeah I'm confident I will be able to replace everything except a few of the tools from the 70's that were from my dad, which I accept can't be replaced by the insurance company. The stupid thing is they are going to pay about 3 times more than the tools are worth, all because they refuse to have...

I got my tools last week and was very disappointed to say the least. My german-made Stahlwille 1/2" socket set was replaced with a 3/8" Stanley socket set, how does that work!?! Same deal with my screwdrivers, replaced with crappy chinese made ones and they aren't even 1000V VDE insulated...

Don't go sticking your hands where you can't see them. And needle resistant gloves may be needle resistant, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are scalpel resistant. This especially applies when you are doing work at a medical disposal facility

I have bought cheap stuff from dealextreme from quality brands before and havn't recieved anything fake yet. In one instance the products seemed exactly the same as what you would buy locally, and in the other there was a fairly obvious spelling error in the packaging. I know for 100% it was the...

I have this set and dont regret getting them at all. In my hand they feel perfectly balanced and very lightweight, It gives them a feeling of quality and precision. Everytime I pick them up i always end up admiring them for a few seconds and I can appreciate that i have bought and own a top...

Re: snapon made in spain??????????????? Yeah thats part of it, when you buy tools made in first world countries part of what you pay will inevitably go towards paying for a workers healthcare, and ensuring they work in a safe environment under reasonable conditions and recieve decent wages...

Theres only 6 guys including me working where I work and everyone except one are good or great workers. The one that isn't certainly isn't bad, he is still a hard worker and generally does quality work, just shows no initiative to the point where even as a first year apprentice I often end up...

My old man just picked up a brand new 4x4 amarok a couple of weeks ago. Compared to similar offerings from other manufacturers here, the interior seems to be made of slightly higher quality materials (albeit abit more basic than other VW's might be), the diesel engine is extremely quiet, I...

So.. I guess your expecting to see that I have picked up some lovely old vintage australian made sidchrome tools that I was searching for? Perhaps a few cheap snap on tools like all you lucky bastards in America seem to find? Maybe comment on how "I ****" for finding such a good deal...

I've bought pretty much all my tools from overseas in germany, south africa and america because the local offerings are pretty pathetic. If you want good tools at a decent price you should look into gedore tools from RSA, which are supposedly made in the exact same method as the german gedore...

Well, I just lost about 80% of my tools today, they are probably sitting in some distant pawnshop by now:( I had my tools, along with my bosses tools locked up in his toolbox whilst we went to the shops for lunch + he had to go to the bank. Whilst he was parked literally 20 metres from the bank...

Close but not quite, I'm in Australia. That said about 80% of my work colleagues are south african or zimbabwean and I lived there for 10 months
