    I bought it from Herrapro. He is also a member of GJ. 70€ + 21% VAT. Very cheap compared to Germany.

    True, no ball here. My dealer said that the Ko-ken tend to have a problem with the fork that holds the movable part. I wanted the Ko-ken and ended up with the Snappy. And this is all Blöckw@rts fault ;): Walter Schröder X-Gripp in slotted, PH, PZ and TX. I go through five to six...

    Yeah, you got me. I was too lazy to make pcitures of my own ratchet. Here they are: First I was "what? This is the famous Dual 80??" but after half a year it got better and better. Thanks for your opinion on the swivel head ratchet and the ZEAL ones. I bought the Snap-On 24" breaker bar...

    @Monte, I am interested in one. How does the Ko-ken perform? Did you have problems with the handle? Is the Ko-ken ratchet made in Japan? I can't remember the brand, but I thin I saw s.th. similar from China - and cheaper. Update from my Bahco ratchets 7750 and 8150-1/2": I did not like the...

    These sure look good. I have a 1/2" 10mm and a 1/2" 32mm socket from them. They are well made. In my opinion Unior is as good as Gedore. ______________________________________________________________________ Here are videos from the European production plants of Facom (from 2012)...

    I will keep my eyes open! Was there only one set of them at your Obi or several sets? I went to my Obi store and found a yellow torx set. I think I am going to buy it :). I got mine from Ebay as the sellers round here do not offer the chrome versions. I think Monte (:bowdown:) provided you...

    Yes! Wow, did not know that a system like this exists! Looks pretty slick! I already bought the Jokari Super 4 plus. It doesn't look like much but works like a charm. Those PreciForce sure look good! Thanks. I will look at them. New tools: NWS high leverage combination pliers "CombiMax"...

    Nice pictures. To Blockwart: How can you tell the Beta 42 wrenches are Made in Italy? They have no COO on them.

    I looked on the interweb and did not find someone who sells them (H 42 DKEL-88) yet. I am also searching for these: Gedore 1/2" extension w/ magnet 1990 M.

    Oh Monte, you are right, as always. I was back at Obi to look for something and the Knipex has on the inside the 'MADE IN GERMANY' sign. But in my defence it was very poorly embossed on the model I saw last time.

    As you wish: It seems that the 'Connex' labeled screwdrivers are made by Robert or Walter Schröder. In this case the 'Connex' 0,8x4x25 it is a Robert Schröder Exagon-Stubby 0.156.0 or a Walter Schröder Stubby 140403. Very sad that the Erdi has no coo on them. But I found no 'Made in...

    Matador - the last ones Last month I was at Bauhaus to look for a 16mm wrench. As I was standing in front of the display I realised that the time for German-made Matador wrenches is over. Only two box-end wrenches 10x13, three 13x17, two combination 16 and two 18 (all metric) were left. Of...

    @cosmic @monte Thanks guys for the advices for tin snips. @Blöckw@art Thanks for the pictures. I don't want to upset anyone with my 'Made in Germany' thing, but I prefer tools that are at least made in Europe. A friend of mine will lend me his "Würth" tin snips (left and right) until I get...

    Hello guys, can you recommend me a brand/model of tin snips? Maybe even a 'Made in Germany' one? They have to cut on the right side.
