I would say the same and take the 11.000 model, but I guess that they didn't "design" a slightly different model just give me headache with choice, it may be more appropriate for something, I wonder what? Thanks for asking about that, you're really the best :thumbup: You mean the handle or the...

When I bought my 3/8" set it was more by curiosity than by need, in my mind it was too big for bolts under 10 and too small for bolts higher to 19-21 so with a 1/4" + 1/2" sets you always had the right tool from 4 to 32. The 3/8 can be much more useful than expected in many cases (drain plug...

From what I've seen in auto repair shops here in Belgium, 1/2" drive set is the standard when working on a car, (with 1/4" for small fasteners). I don't think I've ever seen a 3/8" drive ratchet in a professional shop. So on a car they use 1/2" drive most of the time, it seems normal to have...

Thank you JK47 ;)

Hi Frank, Do you only sell Koken? I'm a bit confused because it seems that jk47 bought a Vessel impacta from you? Is Vessel a part of Koken? Actually I'd like to buy an IPS plastic jaws plier (WL-270S) from a place that doesn't ask a kidney in shipping fees to Belgium, do you sell such tools...

I'll take the variable speed Bosch and use it for all kind of works, maybe later I'll buy a cordless grinder to go with batteries of a GDS18VLIHT impact wrench :thumbup: However I'm not sure about the model, a few months ago there were two 125mm Bosch variable speed angle grinders on Bosch's...

Mmmm, as usual nice old stock! Mine are exactly the same, France stamped at the same place, same shape! however I'd say mine are old stock too, plastic bags had this light, dirty dust, that slowly appears when you store something on a shelf in a warehouse for a long time. It looks like mine had...

Thanks :thumbup: Is it a widely available brand in Germany? It seems like a good value when you can recognize the oem, there is a Forum oiler half the price of the same Facom's, both made by Pressol and it still 20% cheaper than Pressol price. It's the same with hammers, chisels,... I think...

Hi, could you (or someone else) please tell me if Halder produces "FORUM" hammers? From the pictures they're identical, at least the recoil-less hammers I've seen... Btw, would someone have some informations about "Forum" brand? I'm almost sure I've seen some of their tools in this thread but...

Thanks, I thought about Miele, we replaced a 30+ year old Miele washing machine about 2 years ago with a new Miele, it still worked great but when the belt broke down, it was an excuse to buy something more efficient :) The price difference here in Europe is not as high, usually around 20%...

Thank you all for your help, I see more clearly what I want now! Grinder: I think that I'll buy with the Flex 3309 FRG, the brands you proposed makes equal/better products but not for the budget I fixed. As I said I want a little multi-purpose tool, lightness is a big plus, the flex is "only"...

@North: Nice Facom tools!! I think that every car should be sold with a Nano set in the trunk! :bounce: About twice a week, what about you? By the way, did Santa bring you a camcorder? :D Well, for the moment we mostly produce political crisis, are you interested in this kind of tools? :)...

:) I know what it's like to work with cheap scorers, I started with one of medium quality and wasn't really convinced. Later I looked for a wet saw, just as you, and browsed the forum linked in my previous post (now I'm sure it's this one), there I discovered a lot of quality european brands, I...

This set looks very complete :thumbup: I guess that you get splinters of various shapes and sizes to need something like this? ;) Looks like Vomm makes a lot of different tweezers... @ Automatique: They're made in Germany Btw if someone is interested, here is the place I bought them on...

@ Hazet: Nice seat :thumbup: Is it genuine Hazet or they just rebadge? The ones from Rodac look similar but I don't know if there's height adjustment... Anyway, how is the quality? Thanks for your researches! Unfortunately I don't speak dutch... I think that I'll stick with the 5 drawers...

Hi, so maybe you don't really know how it is with a real scorer if you've only used cheap ones :) It's of course a matter of tile finish, material and thickness but many jobs can be done using a good quality scorer (they ain't cheap) Here are a few good (european) brands that I know for their...

I hope that you don't think I was disrespectful about the job done on this car when I talked about the titanium fasteners :) I just think that titanium fasteners are great as part of an engineered whole using their true potential, which on an existing car would need a complete engineer team to...

Unfortunately not, and actually I'm not really a fan of titanium fasteners on a car :) This is a very neat setup you have :thumbup: what car is it? Btw I found this blog on google, they show the titanium wrenches that were on Facom's catalogue (I remember seeing them on my father's catalogue...

Small ultrasonic thickness gauge can also be used to check sheet metal thickness... I think that companies which test compressed gas vessels fill them completely with water, then plug a source of compressed gas or water with a regulator set on the max tested pressure of the tank. This way in...

As previously said they probably have a short term strategy, when the horse will be too sick they'll sell it. It's too sad, here, Facom meant something a few decades ago. They say it loud on their website and promo fliers, they kept the same prices since 4-5 years but a lot of taiwanese stuffs...
