Found this in an old Hazet catalog from 1930;

That thing is a beauty!

Wait what... So you guys actually have benches that you can USE?! Mine's a complete mound of junk...

For me mostly Bahco. I like the grip of them. Its also a big plus for me that i can get them for very cheap at the Bahco outlet here in my town where a SNA factory is located.

Neat collection! I also have a bunch of old Swedish pliers, this Berg from 1953 might be my favorite. Probably made after the Wilde patent expired.

Just got my first Knipex pliers wrench (86 05 180). Payed about $25 for it. Lets just hope it's as good as everyone says!

Been there done that, fond memories! Also, i remember one time when my dad had welded in the garage and he told me to not touch anything because it's very very hot! Well, my little child brain had a "Beavis moment"... I just had to touch it, and would you know it, It turns out newly welded stuff...

Since i'm swedish, and here in Sweden USA-made tools basically are impossible to get locally. Only option is from eBay, but then the price goes waaaay beyond what brand new Knipex costs with shipping and import taxes. Other than that, i totally agree with the guys above that stated quality...

I'm using "Autosol Hand Cleaning Paste".

Vises are meant to be used and abused so, yes i use all of mine.

Update on the project:

I won the 1st Dec Knipex! :D The price was one of these: https://www.knipex.com/en-uk/products/carpenters'-pincers/hammerhead-style-carpenters'-pincers/hammerhead-style-carpenters-pincers/5101210

Here's my Dowidat set of No 6's. Recently got them cheap at auction. Cleaned up really nice!

Some of you recently mentioned Elora. Well, i can't say anything about their current products, but the old stuff is really good. Just got this old West-Germany made socket speed wrench. Mint!

Old swedish ratchet made by Nike. No, not the one what makes them clothes. The swedish Nike was famous for their hydraulic jacks amongst other things such as drawing tables and hydraulic barber chairs. Eight teeth is all you need folks!

Fabricobbled this 1961 Imperial rear end sofa for my brother. I don't care for them much but he likes 'em so...

The attention to detail is amazing. Nice work!

Mystery solved. Thanks!

Here is my small collection, Record Imp No 80. I absolutely LOVE this little thing! I restored it about a year ago, and it have already gotten some battle scars. I use it quite a lot! This is my home vise. Seem to exist with many different names. No manufacture country is to be found on it...
