I'm still using Ironside hand tools I bought in Moscow in 1996. Ironside Phillips #2 screwdriver is my EDC tool since that time. They are exceptional quality tools.

When I bought this 3/8" Drive Flexible Crowfoot Wrench Set I didn't expect to use it frequently, at least not for my small DIY home projects. I was wrong! Just next day I found that a torchiere lamp in the family room started "playing". The entire lamp construction was kept straight by...

Better late than never, Christmas presents from my daughter: Hazet screwdrivers are awesome! Firm grip, triangle-shaped ergonomic handlers, these tools apparently were created to last.

Actually they are not that bad but I have a very strong opinion that widely advertised "lasertips" are rather selling point than a real working thing. Traditional screwdrivers (Wiha, Felo, Hazet, Megadora line from Vessel etc.) with a very smooth and well processed tip surface work and stick to...

american lockpicker, I wish you good luck finding a new job. While things here are a little bit better than in West Virginia I have a lot friends still hanging around with lousy jobs or without job at all.

Tools from the old world are conquering America? I was surprised to find the Knipex stand in one of our local stores, Hanover Tool. Hanover Tool store happened to be very similar to the German Bauhaus, maybe less glamorous but packed with tools from the top to the bottom! So I decided to...

FARA, Thank you, very nice stuff!

Welcome! It would be nice if you could post more tools made in the Soviet Union. I placed (just a few) in this topic: Back in USSR - tools from the Soviet Union

Monte, Use this link: http://www.mastercity.ru/showthread.php?t=75697 They use "Bolgarka" as a generic name for grinders. Historically first grinders came from Bulgaria and Russian workers still use this alias for all grinders.

Dear Monte, Please change your mind NOW. There is a nice thread on the Russian MasterCity site, "Death from the Grinder" (over 80 pages) with some nice pictures and amazing stories. A lot of horrible accidents happened just after dropping grinder still connected to the power outlet...

Congratulations with 400 pages! Kudos for Monte and all other folks you for creating and supporting this Tool Paradise.
