I have a MEP cold saw that came a to a halt this week. It's 3 phase ( Australia = 415V) I have taken the motor in to get checked and repaired as necessary. In the process of disassembly of the gearbox, which had about a teaspoon of ground bronze lubricant, some cupped 3mm thick thrust washers...

And a very nice Hazet cart it is too!

I have had several orders from them in years past; nice bloke, no problems at all.

I have had a pair of Boker manuals for 30 years, much prefer the self adjusting Knipex I got a couple of years ago. Additional advantage is consistent length of strip. And no need to pull to strip; plus no forced holding on to the wire itself, which invariables kinks it.

re ease of sharpening - that very much depends on the type of steel.

Rosel used to make the best professional kitchen utensils available - has been made in china for several years now; no more Rosle on my buying list. I don't recall them having the courtesy to label COO either. Knives are another story Japanese can be great, the right French brands are...

picked this up last weekend, via fleabay. C.C. arbor press. Can't find any info on the brand. Seems in good nick, the rust appearance is predominantly discolouration and red oxide.

I have always had excellent service from TBS Aachen.

The cast ones look essentially identical to my Dawns, Made in Australia ; bought back in the 70's The raised casting where presumably the name is is larger though. If I could find them,I would take a pic

ready for streeet Luge Monty?

They even stick to s/s fridge doors

TBS Aachen certainly DO ship to Oz; I have had 6 orders (c. $3200 AUD) over the last 3 years from them, and I have always found their shipping rates quite reasonable too. Their service has been unreservedly excellent. I called in to look at the shop 2 years ago in Aachen when in Germany...

Hazet 6-point 1/2" sockets and long 3/8" sockets a couple of days ago.
