Sure, that's like imperative - I wasn't making any appeals for advice, but for manufacturer itself; it's ETC, the wrenches are rock-solid, and I was merely asking for the bits on ETC's history. A page on GJ is all... Few random sentences online as addition. Humble. I was wondering do they have...

Hi there... Looking for some infos. There is very tiny if any bigger than that information on ETC Japan's tool manufacturer - which is odd. I found these two adjustables in flea market so I'm in dilemma - to buy or not to buy? Easy thing would resolve this by making it worth of purchasing... Or not.

I recently purchased a pretty big Bahco adjustable, 15". The price was good, also the state it was in, as far as I'm concerned, it's brand new. And there IS backside slop in the jaw... It's manufactured in Sweden, so it would be new old stock. I bought couple of pretty old used ones, such as...

I think there was mistake... Bahco adjustables are now made in Spain, yes, but the factory is Acesa... On the other hand, Irega does produce for Channellock under its name as well for itself, under Irega.

For all of you Japan's tools lovers and fans, just about something that is typed above: is there a difference between 'Product of Japan' and 'Made in Japan'? I have few Vessel screwdrivers, three rotary kits and there is just 'Product'...

Skunkape1, you have pretty good explanation on adjustables manufacturers, in this thread, few pages before - we've even put on some short and good discussion; shortly, Bahco, which is under SNA Europe, has factory (very likely more than one - they are manufacturing screwdrivers and pliers and...

True. I bought few precision electronic cutters that were made in Spain, under Bahco and Lindström name.

Well, thanks! I've sort of anounced mistake; as I recollect now, I remember that Acesa was the one that makes adjustables for SNA, altough I was pretty convinced that Irega got its share... I made a mistake. Either way, for couple of us things got more informative now. That doesn't put out Irega...

Irimo and Palmera aren't manufacturing any more in SNA's factory in Spain - as far as I know, Palmera doesn't exist no more, and Irimo is manufacturing in China and Taiwan; this is information provided from the member native to industrial heart of Spain, Basque country. Again, I believe that...

Well, because of all this different things, like preferences, steel quality, chroming or other ways of protection, precision and final touch - I typed probably... Here is the thing: Bahco was the best manufacturer of adjustable wrenches, when they were manufactured in Sweden. When they stopped...

What is older - hen or egg? Don't know if I've been spending more because of GJ, or I've become member cause of tools and wish to optimize costs by learning and choosing tools that are better for same, or lower price.

Hi. I'm new member. This is forum page that I've most frequently visited - so it seems appropriate to make sort of introduction here. Here're my Palmera pliers:
