I totally agree with you but it looks damn good and have good qualities too but the price really kill the deal + not made by a well known company so the spare parts... :( By the way, is the Bosch available in Europe for 450$? sounds like a really good deal! just a bit more than an IR2135 impact...

I don't know how Bosch is represented in the US but here you can have your tools/batteries serviced in almost every tool shop so warranty is first class. If you use it all day long I would take the one which is lighter and have the longest battery life, I think that the Bosch wins... plus...

Would vote for the Bosch too, wireless tools and battery technologies is a big part of their activity, not really the case of Snap-On That said I'm surprised by the price of the SO, I thought it would be much higher (especially with the US as COO) and performance are good too! If you want...

Sounds good, just two big drawer for a Facom wireless impact gun, wheel pullers,... :thumbup: You can put a lot of tools in a JET.XL8, at least all the usual ones, you may need other JET.XL for the speciality tools but remember the good thing, when you buy 6 you can choose the color :) Not...

6 drawers? what would you like to put in the big one? I've always looked at their combo toolbox+tools in the promos too and thought "if you're 15 and you work 1 month as a student during summer you can buy a jet.8XL and 4 drawers full of tools, so there's no reason to wait to be retired to...

Hmm, wouldn't it be a bit stupid to have all these tools cross the atlantic a second time when most of them are produced at a few hundreds kilometers of where I live? :bounce: That said, I probably wouldn't fill it with all Facom anymore... Lista cabinets look so great :rolleyes: but prices :sad:

I'm not so sure about the control ring's colour of the ratchet anymore, it might just be the light, but the release ring of the extension is grey. So I thought that they may have composed this set with tools of their regular line but with carefully selected items. For example the ones made just...

I like the locking extension with grey release ring :thumbup: I told you, I'm almost done with Facom, I'll soon start cheating on them :) I'll "go east", Nepros if I can find a way to buy from the US site. But I'll still buy a Jet.XL toolbox, I saw one again at my local tool shop yesterday...

I would also go for a machinist brand, if Snap-On works the same way as european brand do, they just rebadge products and sell them for a lot of $$$. I like mitutoyo, but there are other very good companies... <a...

Guys your Nepros tools are really nice! :bowdown: And from what you say the quality is as high as the finish... As I said in the "tools from the old world" thread, I'm a Facom enthusiast, but I'm a bit disappointed to see less and less "made in France" stamped on their tools and a research for...

I don't know a lot about Deckel's models options, so I can't say about the computer on this one, it's just a picture I found on the web. I think that the FP1 has been produced for many years and that new options appeared during this time... The FP2 is a bigger machine I think, and they had...

@ GeorgeK: Thanks for the info, I'll take care about that when I'll buy some! Here are closer pictures of the last tools I purchased. Wiha MagicRing hex keys, screws are not glued on the key but it's held quite well, we'll see how it goes in the future... <a...

I've heard in a thread that some PB screwdriver's handles were stinky, are there specific models? I know, you're an excellent salesman ;) It's the weak point but I don't mean it is useless, I just think that I'll replace it when I'll have a real milling machine (my next big investment). So...

This really is a cool project! :bowdown: I've never seen any except in shows and movies, however it shouldn't be too much complicated to build one. Many different ways of doing one seem possible, precision and money will define the results, as usual.... I'll keep the idea in mind for my next...

I agree with you, of course I don't see it with my own eyes but it looks like not many people know about Toptul in the US, here in europe I've never seen their tools anywhere... For me, when you play the "lifetime warranty" card, you need a minimum of marketing and presence, a warranty without a...

The Facom 500 and T5 are on my wishlist :) Thanks, I have not installed the eye protectors yet as the grinder will stay in its box a few months before I have time and place to install it... However it looks nice, the piece supports seems the "weak point" :( Yup I did my christmas shopping at...

Are these parallel tips? are they that better compared to regular tips? I may be wrong but I've always thought that Facom's ratchet with "Facom+model number" written in a satin "cut" on the metal part of the handle had France on it (or the other side). Do you know if Usag also make Facom's...

Actually what I meant was that comparing tools out of their normal use environment and then use the test results to judge their qualities under normal use is risky. It's like to say "an Audi sinks more rapidly in the water than a Traban, so Trabans are better". It's true, but it's a useful...

Héhé, my postman just delivered one of my parcels blocked by the snow, it's christmas everyday this week :) I'll take some closer pics later, but here it is (and no Facom) <a href="http://s739.photobucket.com/albums/xx39/cantause/?action=view&current=IMG_1209.jpg" target="_blank"><img...

Welcome on GJ! Well, I'm not sure if this kind of comparison really mean something... It's already difficult to compare tool quality under normal use, so when abused it almost becomes impossible (same impact gun, same settings, same socket history,..). I wouldn't say that older sockets were...
