New tools from Herrapro/Bhae: Snap-On, Blue-Point, Bahco and Silverline. Bondhus was a gift. Thank you! New Wiha: I converted the Snap-On T72 from 1/4" to 3/8":

Of course, Belzer is awesome! Interesting (and quite handy) tool: Ph2xPh3. It only says Japan. What is the manufacturer? New NWS: Hazet 609 Torx wrenches from two different series: Stahlwille/Garant 1/2" sockets (just 19€...): True swedish made tools: Bahco Lindström

I think the picture is Monte's. The head is bulky so I will choose Bahco/Snap-On over the Hazet for work in very confined areas like motorcycles. On cars I have never encountered a problem with them. The head ist also a bit wobbly. But nonetheless, the Hazet finetooth ratchet are good quality...

Elora is decent made, as is germand-made Heyco (their maxline wrenches rock!) or german-made Matador. In my opinion Elora is not mentioned that often as it is not as widely available as the big three Gedore, Hazet and Stahlwille. For instance, I bought this long handle 1/2" ratchet from...

The Connex pliers are made by OrbisWill. They sure are fine pliers. I bought myself some VDE-insulated pliers from Orbis. All from the EvoLine. They work very well. My favourite is the curved long nose plier. And I bought a new installation plier called TriCut made by Wiha. I think they...

Are those made in Germany?

New Knipex and Orbis. (The "older" Alligator is just for comparison). The Cobra ES is especially for work in tiny areas. The little Cobra 125mm and the little pliers wrench 125mm come in handy for work on motorcycles. I was astonished how effortlessly you can cut big wire in comparison to...

:thumbup: Yes, that is true. I have an ErgoCombi, as they are called in Germany, myself. They are over-engineered, or how should I put it, german-engineered :cool: Due to its bulky head I also bought the =210580,201972,201973,207290"]angled combination plier 8248-160 JC from Gedore so I...

Monte made a video about Wiha Inomic pliers more than three years ago: Another guy took them apart and was not amused about them: http://nixlogy.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/wiha-inomic-totally-useless-useless/ They have changed the design of the head for both Inomic and Inomic VDE. I had tried...

Those ratchets sure look good!

:thumbup: True. The handle of the Cobra offers enough place. But not all pliers have enough room as you will see later with an example. :thumbup: True. I only meant pliers, but forgot about those. And for the sheet metal crimpers: They lack the COO. I looked myself today to make sure. But I...

But nonetheless they work well, so it is no big deal for me. The packaging said gedore.com, not gedore.de. Nice Wiha Maxxtors. They are my fav impact bit. To Knipex "Germany./.Made in Germany": In my opinion all pliers besides the gripping pliers (Bollmann) and the cable strippers (Jokari)...

Gedore =210576,201356,201409,201423,204919"]1/4" SL 2013 and =210576,201490,201560,201576,205468"]1/2" SL 1916 tool holder. I think I saw Monte having them with COO Made in USA. No COO on mine. :dunno:

I have pictures taken for you. I own a 1930s plier of the same style. It is not as easy to use as the new one, as you have to unbolt the screw to adjust the plier. They seem very durable. The new one has two times the weight of a comparable "Cobra-style" water pump plier and is entirely...

"Kunzer" ones like the KS ones from the first post.

Hazet and Wiha sure look good! :drool: New stuff - again. Snap-On hex sockets. Got a very good deal from a local salesman and couldn't resist - ~50% off :). They look lovely and the fit is top notch. New stuff from Gedore. "Blitz" water pump plier along with "Nautic Corostop" items and...

New Hazet. New Hazet. 1/4" 8502-T20 torx and 1/2" 986KK-5 hex.

Today I received the "Boxo" ones. They seem well made. The flex moves easily but stays in position, is not flappy. It is well lubed. You can adjust the movement via a hex key. The box ends are not as well made as my german-made tools like Stahlwille or Hazet, but this is a problem solver and...

New Hazet. Full res.

New stuff.
