I have never seen anything from "nic", perhaps a special industrial tool to measure hex sizes?? There was plenty of toolmakers in Eskilstuna, even Bahco made wrenches there before the move to Argentina in 1970s I have some wrenches from "Original Stecoge" too, of so-so design, guess which one I...

Hmm maybe a bigger tool company bought them...like Bahco did with Orenco. Nice picture. I would like to have that "boy":). Interresting link, I see that there has been more than one tool manufacturer around, inspecifically woodworking ones...Maybe someone has a "museum" like that for german...

That lift looks nice for us with too small garages:) I bought this monolift from 1986 a while ago mainly to use as a lift for longtime parking during the cold months, without blocking my cramped garage too much. I have not find the final place for it yet, I must try a few different cars on it...

How about some old german tools:) I have a two Itmas...anyone knows when they had their heyday? Says "Germany" and "finished in UK" at the wrench!? But the ratchet is "made in Germany". One of my favorite ratchets. And Jungk...? I believe the Jungks are at least 50 years old but probably older...

Yes vehicles older than 30 years are taxfree. The 27 year old J-20 costs now ~200eur annually which is a heavy increase from a few years ago! To put things in perspective a full tank of gas is nowadays ~80eur. That's also an increase:mad: It's really worth it travel to Västerås if you like...

Yes I have. Or no, it's a pickup '82 Jeep J-20. Volvos up to 1970s use SAE too. Plus there are a LOT of old american iron in sweden:) The "Hjort" is the oldest, I think the "70-series" was introduced in 1920s. Here some from the Orenco works, mainly from the 1950s

Now that was good reading & links! Thanks a lot:beer: I had hopes that I could see the green one yesterday, but we couldn't make it together that day. That cooler got me triggered, It seems to be as big as the DB-1290. From now on I'm going to look for good coolers and related plumbings at the...

some of my favorite 1960s Bahco's:) and a few adjustables, ranging from 1940s to 2000s

Yea! Early 80's...

Yea I like them too! Only problem is the square bladers are hard to find in unused condition, the newest are about 30 years old... These 1980's are the only ergo's I have.:(

Thank You! Yea I got a new camera that I'm fiddling with to learn to use...one of very few chinese "tools" i have. I think it's a great pleasure to look at others pic's here of tools I have not seen before! Hmm I haven't given the barcodes a single thought until now...perhaps some of the...

Every Ferrari owner park like this:lol_hitti ...Nooo it's just me. My city garage.

...and 1980's...

...some Bahco screwdrivers of 1960's:

Re: speaking of coolers While browsing our equivalent to craigslist I found this one...looks like an IR type 30 compressor, and some sort of cooler!! The id tag says it's a 1973 model. Owner claims it sat unused for some thirty years and I'm prepared to beleive him when I study the photo. What...

That was a cool setup, I guess you have a matching air horn too:bounce:

I'm glad to say that all kind of saw stuff are still made in Bollnäs and Lidköping! Very good saw blades! But four years ago they moved the production of small hacksaws to Portugal...(like the 319 and 325) They make woodsaws among other wood-tools at the huge plant in Bollnäs, but I have to ask...

Two years ago they moved the adjustable wrenches from Enkoping Sweden to Spain, after 115 years of production...what that means for quality is too early say I beleive:headscrat

I guess you guys have not seen too many Atlas Copco's in the US, when you have so many good domestic ones to chose from? The two stage is a 200psi from 1965, all original down to the hoses, except for the pressure gauge which I crashed some years ago. Anyone have an original matching numbers...

I' sorry to say that the Nike jacks are note made in sweden anymore...since some twenty years ago they make them in asia.:( I guess the they don't speak very loud about this. But I'm shure they are much better than the typhical low-buck china jacks that floods the world. They still do make other...
