Thanks for posting the Facom deals.
The combination set wrench is very nice, but unfortunately not from France (from what I can see, should be Taiwan, please correct me if I'm wrong). I am still looking for this 19mm combination wrench!!
The offset set is stamped "France", but the seller ended the listing because "there was an error in the listing" (or maybe because he figured out that $50 dollars would have been a very good price...?). Then he relisted them as a buy it now at $100 and an make an offer option (shipping is $13.60). Quite a bit of money, but an eight piece set from Stahlwille or Hazet will cost you at least the same, and the quality might be on par (or not, depending on your political and ****** preferences...).

I would buy it at $80 or even at $100 because Facom was THE brand for my father who passed away, so it is quite nostalgic for me. But I already have this identical set in very good condition.

Seems like the seller went to a lot of work just to make 26 dollars.





Actually, i bought the Facom set for $80 plus shipping, according to the item description, they are new. Guess I will find out in a few days..........
Hope they work out for you. Since you paid brand new prices, you might want to check out a user from these forums called Ultgar, who runs Ultimate Garage. He's a Facom US dealer and on those wrenches you got, his price is around the same range if I recall.
Why bash a guy's purchasing decision when you don't know all the details? The set on Ultimate Garage is not the same and does not contain as many wrenches. And since they are listed as new, it's just fine that the guy paid new prices.
I also don't know why so many people get butthurt about an ebay seller raising the price on an item before anyone buys it. They have every right to do so.
I'm sure like most here, we're just out to get the best deal either for ourselves or for other members of the site. Hence the existence of this and other threads.
$43 bucks shipped for some SAE line wrenchies

If everybody reading this thread clicked the "tell us what you think" button and told them their new "Not finding what you're looking for?" popup box serves only as an annoyance maybe they'd get the hint.
