you are going to have to buy one okuma bolt and mount it to a jig. and every time you walk past it, youll have to losen and tighten it to keep the test going lol

Do not worry, I'll think of something! Patience because I'm still new to this workshop.

Me and three other colleagues refused to work for peanuts so we went home.

The notion that money can’t buy happiness has been around a long time... the catch is that additional income doesn’t buy us any additional happiness on a typical day once we reach that comfortable standard.

Having a great work environment and people around you makes a big, big difference. I hope you find happiness in your new job!

Good news.

A few of those wrenches look a tad bigger than 13mm.

 

[Monte]

congratulation !! What tool brands do they use in your new workshop ?

 

[Kev442]

Sweet!
Now bring that box of 13mm's to work and line them up on the pegboard. That will make your coworkers scratch their heads!

 

[Outlawmws]

Put a sign over them: "the right tool for the job!"

And congrats on the new job!

 

[Hako86]

Congratulations with your new job

 

[autonaut]

Congratulations with you new job.

And thanks for taking the time to create this thread.. Very interesting. Especially for a stahlwille maniac like me

 

[Miskin]

Mostly Gedore and some unknown brands like Profi and Eurologic.
Screwdrivers from SKG.

nice workplace, me iz happy for you!

Hold your horses Arnaud! I can't say for sure if i can use the durometer. Maybe the new boss has a different opinion.

Sweet!

They scratch their heads because i carry a pair of pliers in my bag. Imagine their faces if i bring the wrenches for testing!
Thanks everyone for your kind words. You are amazing!

I like that idea!

Yeah, you don't want to get into trouble right away.

Nice to hear that you're back in the work force.

 

[Malczewski]

It looks to me that these Germans need to consult someone on post forge finishing operations.They skipped 50% of the work required to create a nice tool in the name of "satin finish".You can properly polish something and follow with acid etch or bead blast to create a proper satin finish. Those finishes(if one could call them that) are horrendous.

Hi, I want to buy a set of combination wrenches. Which combination wrenches should I buy? Is Hazet 600N really so bad?

Test is over but here a Czech 13mm wrench

Klausi, the Hazet 600N shows chrome peeling after 2 months in a brutal work environment, but no spreading or real defects. It should be fine for most people in everyday use.

Although not scientific, this thread generally showed durability did follow price. I just read the whole thing again and enjoyed it all over again. In some ways, having the wrenches in the hands of his indifferent co-worker, who could not place a wrench on a bolt correctly 9 out of 10 times, might have been a better test!

If this wrench is according to DIN 894 can't stand a chance against hardened bolts. It's a waste of time! Look the Netsuren wrench at first page of this thread.

This is the whole idea of the thread!

I'm interested in the 600N series of Hazet. I don't like the cheap stuff I already found in near shops. ****! But I'm not sure it will do after reading this thread.
I already have some other things from Hazet and I'm very happy with them.

Just found some pics of broken Hazet 600N in google pic search and got here.
For home use and quality tools wanting, can you recommend these 600N from Hazet?
Should I look at other similar priced tools? If so, which one?
For me Hazet is expensive so I want quality tools for my money. But I also know that every tool can be fucked up

"I'm too poor to buy cheap" - I know you know what I mean

 

[Monte]

i like mine

 

[abk241]

It's time to make your own wrench!

That was my first thought also.

 

[hoyt]

Another is to shorten the wrench, (particularly the iron worker wrench) so they simply can't pull harder...

I believe that this is the best solution since it works on the source of the problem, the untrained workers.

Bist du zufrieden mit deinen 600N? Gibt es da irgendwelche Probleme?

Keine probleme bisher Haben ein stabiles Maul welches auch unter Last nicht aufgeht, einen schlanken Ring, liegen gut in der Hand und haben genau die richtige Länge (imho). Einzig dort wo die Schlüssel während des Verchromens am Schaft aufgehängt sind bilden sich z.T. Rostflecken.
Bei Kollegen tritt dies nicht auf, aber die nutzen ihr Werkzeug aber auch häufiger als Ich...Alternativen ansonsten Stahlwille open box 14 oder Gedore 1B...


In English:
yeah the 600N´s are good

Can for sure say that 600n will work better than you think for home use! If you use it like a wrench is suppose to be used it will work well without any complains for the next 100 years Hazet 600N are like the Rolls Royce of combowrenches!

 

[Klausi]

Thank you bahcoswed

@ Monte: Sind die Gedore / Stahlwille besser, schlechter oder ziemlich gleich wie die Hazet?
Ich hätte gerne die Hazet.
Ich habe schon so viel von Hazet und bin äußerst zufrieden damit.

Rostflecken sind aber was, das ich gar nicht will. Die Frage ist nur, rosten die Schlüssel selber oder nur das Material was auf dem Schlüssel verbleibt?
Edelstahl rostet ja auch, nur nicht selber, sondern nur die Verunreinigungen auf der Oberfläche.
Ein Freund von mir beizt seine Edelstahltore alle paar Jahre, weil sie durch vorbeifahrende Autos Flugrost bekommen.

Tell the employer to get knipex raptor pliers. They would hopefully work great on hardened bolts. additionally, get a slogging open end wrench. Also if the employer doesnt educate about proper use of tool, then he is wasting his money on purchasing wrenches over and over again.

Read the OP. And then keep reading.

Thanks for making me read the post again and better this time. So this guy is testing out wrenches right? trying to figure out out of necessity or curiousity which wrench lasts. Hope now i have a better idea of the situation, and Knipex raptors are still gonna work great. I can see there is space sideways for handles to fit. I would like to see if raptors are tested, or pliers wrench. I chose raptors as they look more rough and tough anf will surely last longer. Or how about were wrenches, joker??? they have a design that prevents slipping and might provide better contact area, preventing excess stress on wrenches. Worth a try in my opinion.

Unfortunately no Knipex raptor or pliers wrench could fit. But even if they fit, it would not be ergonomic. I think i tried the Knipex pliers wrench, if i remember correctly. Wera Joker or a Stanley wrench with similar design i have is a good idea but now it's impossible to find out...

He WAS testing out wrenches, he no longer works there so /thread...

But is was very interesting while it lasted...

Did you end up using the Snap-On all the time?

Snap-on worked for two months only, not safe conclusions for such a sort time.
If i discover another way to abuse tools snap-on will be the first in the line!

Holy thread resurrection Batman.

At 8 mins 36 sec additional gas tempering is shown on plier jaws at Gedore's factory in Austria. Then electrical induction hardening of the cutting edge. Would the first method work DIY to stop wrenches getting chewed up on very hard machinery bolts ?
