    Guys, I need a little help to clarify some things. Questions are probably trivial, but I have a little experience with power tools... I bought an old "blue" Bosch drill. It is the same type as the one on photos (i found those photos on the web). I marked buttons with numbers (first photo) -...

    This link is fantastic! Thanks! :) You are right, I checked - my Bahco is 71 (frontside: 8" BAHCO 71 Made in Sweden; backside: A/B B.A.Hjorth & Co Stockholm). Considering the link you send me, I don't see the difference between photo XIVa (which belongs to 1924-1954 era) and photo XVa (which...

I have 8" adjustable, which besides Bahco made in Sweden inscription...

    General Monte, and others... Homework question for all. :D Does anyone have some information about Schmole tools? I searched the web, but almost nothing can be found. It is extinct German brand. I have a few wrenches, and they seem very quality - on the level with other top brands. It would be...

    You scared me for a second. :D But, at the end, you are not that far off with your price, so I am relaxed. :) I must say that shipping was included in the mentioned price. By the way. I have 8 pieces Hazet box end wrenches set (7-6, 10-8, 14-12, 15-14, 17-14, 26-24, 28-25, 32-27). It's put...

    You guessed right about my nick. But I must add a Belzer. Hazet, Belzer and Stahlwille are my favorites. Although Belzer is really difficult for finding. After those three, Dowidat and Gedore come. :) (must admit, I least prefer the Gedore, don't know why :) )

    @Kedukettu My line of thought, exactly. I mean, those larger sizes are around 30 euros a piece in a shop. Yes, they are in pretty fine shape. Shiny chrome. :D I will post picks, as soon as I grab a time... @OMMP I am from Europe. What duplicates have to do with price? :) I mean, when you go to...

    Guys, does anyone knows something about name variations in old German screwdrivers (famous brands)? For example: - On some screwdrivers you have Wiha, but at the same time on others you have Wihalit. - The same thing is with Belzer, and Belzeryl. - Wera and Weralit

    Guys, what is the purpose of this wrench? Where is it applied? Unlike the socket where you have 6pts, or 12pts...this one is square. I don't remember that I ever seen a square-head bolt. :)...

    I have a few old Felo screwdrivers, where you have tips on both ends, so you can reverse them... Very practical design. I think those screwdrivers were used in Mercedes toolkits. PB Swiss - excellent screwdrivers. But I don't like them, because handles just smell funny. :) Beside Kamasa...

    Hi, guys! Craftman socket set, No 34789, "Made in USA". Extension is missing. All other parts (3/8 ratchet, 3/8 sockets, 1/4 sockets...), seem to be fairly unused. Ratchet model is VL-44811. Entire set cost me slightly over 14 dollars (I don't know is this too much for this set). I am not...

    Yes, the plastic is very solid. It doesn't look "Chinese". Actually, its not so beat up, there are scratches on the plastic, but the tip of the screwdriver is in perfect condition. There is one small print, standard for VDE tools - 1000 V. Also there is a very small print saying SEN (or SFN, I...

Hope that some of the German guys will recognize the manufacturer. @TjoFrasse I see that you are from Sweden, so photos in the attachment will probably be interesting to you. :beer: Two brands from your country - the large...
