:wtf: I though that their high prices was because they had an excellent after sale service, replacement machine during the repair and so on... I'm glad I didn't buy an Hilti when I had to choose an hammer drill, I hesitated a bit... It's not the first time I hear that Bosch and Hilti share the...

The Rothenberger 120 is a nice "little" vise I agree, but I don't know, I expected something better... I'm much more impressed by the used Leinen I bought recently (it's not the same size/weight I admit), even if it has been abused a little bit (bent handle, angle grinder cuts, punched...

Yes it's a nice little tool that you should find in any decent woman's handbag :bounce: I bought it to use it on larger size stuck bolts (21+) when the 1/2 ratchet is a bit "short" to have a comfortable torque without sweating... Sorry about the Rothenberger vise, I've just degreased and...

Here are the Rothenberger vises that Monte found for me on ebay.be :bowdown: Rothenberger 120 (from Heuer, fixed jaws), new but a bit rusted on the handle... Rothenberger pipe vise, look a bit "cheap" cast iron but as I had to pick up the Heuer at the seller's place I also bought it for a...

Hi guys! Sorry for not posting since a long time, exams, vacations...:bounce: I saw some really nice tools in the last pages of this thread, congratulations to all of their (happy) owners. I also did some little purchases in the last months too, so here are the pics (Facom of course...

I won the Rothenberger! 37€ seems a fair price :bounce: also had a Rothenberger pipe vise from the same guy for 15 €, just in case :) Thank you for the link :bowdown::beer: I'll pick them up next week when I'll have finished my exams, I'll post pics for sure! I also bought a used Leinen E 125 on...

Monte, I will always be amazed by your ability to find tools :rolleyes: , you even find vises on ebay.be... Thank you for the link, I'll see if it goes for a fare price :beer: I also often watch Leinen vises on ebay.de, they go sometime for quite cheap, even with shipping to Belgium but most...

mmmm... EN-something I guess :D Come on, we all know that Audi are for old ladies... :lol_hitti Look at the PB Swiss allen keys, looks nice, are they that much better? they're not for free... :shocking: Concerning the vises I think I'll go for a Leinen, probably a "E", I'll wait and save a...

These prices are from The tool academy on ebay.co.uk, ship worldwide, I've always been satisfied, even in case of "problem". I understand what you mean, I don't abuse my tools either so the lifetime warranty is for our peace of mind, the high quality for pleasure... I guess that Facom is not...

If you like the zyklop, you might like this one, the square drive also rotate when you turn the handle, if I had to keep only one of my ratchets it would be this one: Facom J.360 3/8 drive from 68$ delivered in the US If you look for a 1/4 drive and you need sockets too you can get this set...

:thumbup:That sounds a good idea, I'll open a little the window, safety first! Here are some new pics of my tools, mostly Facom :) Screwdrivers and torx drivers Some pliers Crimping tool Wire strippers Shears Laser drain plug socket set, always useful when a friend call you...

SNCM is a steel family according to the japanese steel standard JIS G-4103 from the japanese standards associations (JSA). SNCM-V is not a grade, it only means that the alloy contain S: Silicium N: for Nickel C: for Chromium M: for molybdenum -V: Vanadium adjunction But there are a lot of...

Thanks Monte! From what I've understood in your other post, the "Heuer" has the advantage of being forged so it's better when you need to strike on something, and it's the slide is narrower, better for clamping vertically? For cast iron vises they're usually heavier so better to reduce...

Thank you Monte! are they yours? which one do you like best? I won't abuse my vise, it will probably last a long time before having serious game. The "play compensation" might be overkill, I agree, I was more interest to have the possibility to fix parallelism... These are good quality vises...

Thank you, but this is a really basic set of tools, nothing really exotic. I'll start buying speciality tools now, but there are so many to buy :) I think that my next investment will be a good bench vise, I like the Brockhaus Heuer and Leinen, I just worry that they don't seem to have a "play...

They look nice too, and they're probably even better with their hollow shaft, sets are quite cheap too, I'll take these ones! By the way, do I have to fill a form from the german ministry of tool, just to let them now that you did your job well ? :bounce: Thank you! as I've already bought...

But who the hell told me that canadians where friendly ? :D

Thank, it's the reason I was thinking about too... About Facom I don't know how "old Facom" were, I'm too young, but for sure it lost his "Proudly made in France" before I started buying tools from them... I don't know exactly which Facom type of tools still produced in France, do you? My...

:bowdown: you should call it the portable mill :) As you're french, maybe you could explain me why so many french tool manufacturers disappeared since de 60-70's, I've never understood why... Germany lost some too but in France it looks like you almost lost them all (except Facom of course :D )...

I would go for Proxxon too if you want a grinder with an integrated electric motor. I prefer air tools so for precision jobs I bought a Bluepoint 1/8 shank a few years ago: <a href="http://s739.photobucket.com/albums/xx39/cantause/?action=view&current=8shank.jpg" target="_blank"><img...
