I guess that I shall up some pics of H-gems soon, but let just type here that I have bought small adjustable wrench, with 12-point box end wrench instead of hole-hanger, looks like same manufacturer that did Dowidat and Belzer adjustables, stamped Made in Germany... Also, there is some tin...

Dang, I got some of few nice adjustables recently... Naming Dowidat, Hazet and really funny looking Williams, with braking pin - patent is from fifties, sole wrench has Superjustable on it. Hope to post some pics soon

Dave, this is old, as a world, question, but I have to ask: is Hazet better? Just your opinion... We all have own preferences, mine is Wille, but this is interesting that you gave as an explanation, extra 0 for aircrafft grade tools. May be something in it. Also, that cheapness of Wille - there...

Gotta wake the dead... There was some promise made bout nice NOS sets

Got five of likewise Facom adjustables - NOS - and of all of mine adjustables - probably 50+ - least sloppy and wobbly - so tightest ones... Chrome, on the other hand - poorly done. You can dismantle it - there are two detent balls that keep worm in place - push them with tiny screwdriver to...

Maybe should stop pursuing... Looks like an genuine chinesium

That's Wout's profile picture. For all I know, his Assistents, none for sale. Or any other Hazet tool of his :)

Let the steem out... It is just that pretty often themes get well-known, so they become recyclable... Thank you for your findings, here you gotta grow thick skin

Nothing wrong, but... Somehow, I just can not put Sandvik with Belzer in those tools - seems like they overdid wrenches. Something is off

CR888 - maybe as famous footballer? :D - would you post some pics of your sets? As far as ******-on did what it did, it should not prevent us of remembering and yearning...

Steve, thank you for infos. I have couple of NOS Facom adjustable wrenches, marked with France, also marks of length, one has B.S.G.D.G. - breveté sans garantie du gouvernement - others have Vanachrome... Do you know when were they produced, when were they discontinued, and were they genuinely...

They are top notch tools. Here I have friend, Hazet fanatic - sort like Wout... Maybe more zealous. He gave away that small sockets set - called a fridge service tools - for a well conditioned 3/8 Hazet sockets set, that he did not have... And he regrets it. Deeply. Truly. The guy that exchanged...

Thanks, ultimate garage! So, you could put some insight into corporate relations - i.e. Bost and Facom... How to resolutely distinct France and Taiwan wrenches - french have France? - when are last french adjustables forged there, where does/did Facom make flare nut wrenches... And are there...

Going to sign under upper post. Mine were in microelectronics, regularly used Fluke, Weller, Unior and - Belzer. One of the things that was left of the father is incomplete sockets, wrenches and pliers set in one of those charmingly small toolboxes... Though I am not sure it was his, just that I...

Our good Leif

You surely should have bought them... There are couple of guys around here that are mesmerized by Belzer. They would not hesitate a moment if they had an offer you had. Yes, as far as I know, Belzer invented chrome plating as a method of protecting tools from rust. Also, making them beautiful...

Bost made/makes pliers and screwdrivers for Facom, as it is owned by Facom. Now, as Facom is owned by Stanley Black&Decker, so is Bost - I bought some Stanley Made in France screwdrivers. As it sufficed for Facom - it should be suited for most

If you could just find first pic with better resolution - this one looks like a thumbnail. Getting feeling that one is really interesting. Pic with lady looks almost as one from NG. Good work

There is another Belzer, from Brazil. No clear connection, or at all with original german. Real Belzer ended up merging with Dowidat (in one historic book written by Hinrich Heyken, Cronenberg - und seine alten Werkzeugfabriken, it is called Dovidat - and there, in german, you have it all), then...
