    Tools from the old world

    PALMERA-IRIMO-ACESA-IRAZOLA were the four largest and most important tool makers here. My personal favourite was ACESA, when I go to work every day I still hear their forging hammer working, but now they only make adjustables there. PALMERA was shut down and the factory demolished almost...

    Tools from the old world

    Padre only makes wrenches and sockets, and as I said on the youtube video, the padre ratchets since 2011 are made in Taiwan by Frejoth, a big conglomerate that makes also air tools and machines :)

    Tool Pouches/Rolls

    One of my tool rolls was made by a local tailor of my town. I bought the amount of fabric she needed and with a printed photo she made a nice and solid wrench roll. I dont know prices in USA or if there are any tailors left, but here was 11€ total. In my opinion is a great business and maybe you...

    I had the same question months ago and I finally made a decision: I took some cloth, a photo and gave them to one local tailor. Total cost: 7€. For me was cheaper than bringing one empty roll from a company. Here I know that Gedore offers a very good tool roll... But is a little bit...

    Tools from the old world

    Hello, I was looking for a wrench roll, and when I was looking at the heyco catalog i fell in love :D The fabric is very rough and well made. I was worried about small wrenches falling but it was not the case: they are very well protected. I like the maxline line, but a whole set is very...

    Tell Me About Fein Tools

    Very good tools. The quality is one of the best in the market. I've been using a corded drill (BOP10) for a long time and no problems at all. One friend said recently, when we were on the supply-store in the town this: This thing is expensive, but in 10 years this is my first time that I bring...

    Stahlwille corona box end Error

    Is because the forging die. Maybe that wrench was made before cnc, and letters were engraved "manually" on the dies. Its a common fail if you have to write backwards.

    Tell me about Wera Zyklop Ratchets

    I'm 100% sure that they're made in CZ. All their screwdrivers, ratchets and wrenches (joker) are made there. In fact, is a german company but the core manufacturing facility is in CZ. Sockets and minor items are tawanese. Their sockets are not as good as other options. Personally I would buy a...
