    Old tools are they worth keeping??

    You could try soaking them in diesel for a day or so, then wipe them down with a rag or maybe use a brass brush, that should help remove a lot of the rust. If you don't intend to keep them yourself, I'd only spend time really cleaning up the most valuable brand-name stuff like snap-on and sell...

    Tools from the old world

    To be honest you're going to have a hard time putting 100Nm on a normal length 13mm wrench by hand, unless it happens to be a really long. For example the Hazet 600N-13 is 193mm long (which is already longer than a lot of others in the test): so if you get a good grip on the wrench with one hand...

    Squaring my Dewalt DWS780

    The problem is that if the fence is a single piece of cast aluminium so if the fence is completely bent from factory you'll never get the fence square by adjusting it.

    Squaring my Dewalt DWS780

    Had the same problem with my metabo saw, where the cast aluminium fence was completely bent. I just ended up replacing it with a new fence and it works perfectly now.

    Good Set of Diagonal Cutter Pliers and Screwdrivers ?

    @oldschoolcraft Pretty sure that they are all made in the Czech Republic and have been for some time. I have a set of the Wera lasertips and prefer them to my PB swiss or Felo screwdrivers, even though they were much cheaper :dunno:. Not saying that they are necessarily better made or anything...

    New Cornwell Dealer kicking SO's A$$!!

    When you buy truck tools the costs of the truck service are probably included in the price of the tools, same goes for the warranty.

    Tools from the old world

    I don't think they make the 456a and 52a sockets anymore, they're not in the latest catalogue.

    Nice! Now I want that long 1/4" ratchet shown in the video, but it seems nobody is selling it yet. :willy_nil

    Hazet tool thread

    Stahlwille does not have 3/8" drive 6 point SAE sockets in their catalogue and having a quick look Hazet doesn't have them either. However maybe one of them did at some point? You could also try looking at Gedore. Otherwise I'd just go with 12 point sockets: high quality sockets will not...

    Tools from the old world

    Yeah all extensions in the set have quick release. Also those Makita impact drivers are really nice. :thumbup: I want buy one as well at some point, especially since I already have a bunch of Makita 18v gear.

    Tools from the old world

    Got the Stahlwille 3/8s set with fine tooth ratchet (435QRN). Both the sockets and the ratchet are really nice and the tolerances are super tight. Much better in that regard than the taiwanese stuff I have, otherwise I'll have to see when I really use it.

    Where to get a Stahlwille ratchet rebuild kit?

    TBS-aachen has it for €26, but shipping to the USA seems to be another €28. Maybe you could try emailing them and see if they can ship it cheaper since it's such a small item. Otherwise you could just buy more stahlwille stuff from them to 'justify' the shipping cost. :evil:

    Looking for torx plus tamper-proof in screwdrivers set

    Re: Looking for torx plus in screwdrivers set Regular torx plus is still 6 lobes though, it's tamper resistant torx plus that has only 5. Are you sure it's not pentalobe? Anyway: Both Wiha PB swiss only have regular torx plus as a fixed handle screwdriver, so I'm not sure that some other...

    A trusty friend (a tool), not long for this world

    That's an impact driver though. The brushless version of the screwdriver the OP has is this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B06XRFXF73/ There is also a similar one with replaceable heads so you can have a 90 degree angle or w/e. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B074BDXG73/ But I'm not sure what the US...

    Ratcheting, multiposition screwdrivers

    I have a multi-angle one made by stanley but the ratcheting mechanism is half broken (still works but will slip on occasion) so I don't use it anymore. I also have a regular ratcheting screwdriver by stahlwille that's the same design as the bacho and SK ones posted here, I believe those are all...

    Tools from the old world

    Got this wera tool-check set yesterday. The fit of the bits and sockets is excellent. The ratchet also feels really nice and has plenty of teeth. Haven't really used it though, so we'll see how everything holds up. A few pics, including measurements on the ratchet. I also ordered a set...
