    "Obsession" Tools - An Affinity for Unique or Special Tools

    I love many of my new tools to work with and a few tools that have been with me for decades and lots of projects without complaint. But a lot of current tools come and go over time... spent, lost, inappropriate... that's ok, but no "obsession". So my heart beats faster for tools that are 50 to...

    Hazet tool thread

    As a base I was looking for a complete one in good condition as most spare parts are not readily available. Rust was ok, a few bumps and scratches were ok. But not ok would be missing old Continental wheels or missing silver fillers or too rusty chrome pillars. The only mistake I made: without a...

    Bahco Tool Chest

    The good old Swedish "AB BAHCO" (alias "Aktiebolag" & "Berndt August Hjorth & Company", founded in 1862) made good tools in the past. Since they are bought 1999 from Snap-on and produced in Spain etc, I don't see many difference to cheap Asian products, sorry. :( The photo of the first post...

    Hazet Ratchet
